Resumo: | This article analyzes the controversy that arose in Brazilian evangelical circles when Baptist pastor Ed René Kivitz delivered a sermon on October 25, 2020, in which he stated that the Bible needed to be updated. This episode aroused strong reactions among many Brazilian evangelicals, and culminated in the dismissal of Pastor Kivitz from the Order of Brazilian Baptist Pastors (OPBB) in December 2021. We claim that the “Kivitz case” manifests the plurality of forms of updating, not being possible to reduce this concept to its specifically updatist form, which aligns with the argument proposed by Valdei Araujo and Mateus Pereira in the book Atualismo 1.0. To develop our argument, we proceed in three steps. First, we present a brief historical outline of the uses of the concept of updating in the theological context, notably the emblematic case of the Second Vatican Council. In the second part, we present some positions that emerged in the context of the Kivitz case, outlining the main meanings that have been attributed to the word “updating”. Finally, we analyze the defense speech written by Ed René Kivitz, in order to show how the Baptist pastor sought to reconcile the perenniality of the biblical principles with the affirmation of the historicity of the Scriptures. |

Esse episódio despertou fortes reações entre muitos evangélicos brasileiros, e culminou no desligamento do pastor Kivitz da Ordem dos Pastores Batistas Brasileiros (OPBB) em dezembro de 2021. Nosso argumento é que o “caso Kivitz” manifesta a pluralidade das formas de atualização, não sendo possível reduzir este conceito à sua forma especificamente atualista, o que converge com o argumento proposto por Valdei Araujo e Mateus Pereira no livro Atualismo 1.0. Para desenvolver o nosso argumento, procedemos em três etapas. Primeiro, apresentamos um breve esboço histórico dos usos do conceito de atualização no contexto teológico, notadamente o caso emblemático do Concílio Vaticano II. A seguir, apresentamos algumas posições que surgiram no contexto do caso Kivitz, delineando os principais significados que foram atribuídos à palavra “atualização”. Por fim, analisamos o discurso de defesa escrito por Ed René Kivitz, no intuito de mostrar como o pastor batista buscou conciliar a perenidade dos princípios bíblicos com a afirmação da historicidade das Escrituras.Universidade Federal de Goiás2023-01-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/7406410.5216/rth.v25i2.74064Revista de Teoria da História; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2022): Atualismo e teorias contemporâneas do tempo histórico; 166 - 184Revista de Teoria da História; v. 25 n. 2 (2022): Atualismo e teorias contemporâneas do tempo histórico; 166 - 1842175-5892reponame:Revista de Teoria da Históriainstname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/article/view/74064/39414Copyright (c) 2022 rth |https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRamalho, Walderezde Souza Marques, Mayra2023-01-17T04:28:18Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/74064Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/PUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/teoria/oai||revistateoriadahistoria@hotmail.com2175-58922175-5892opendoar:2023-01-17T04:28:18Revista de Teoria da História - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false |
