LIVRO HESITATIONS IN RELIGION SCIENCE PDF CHARLES ODEVAN XAVIER

This book outlines an approximation, never exhaustive, about phenomena of religious sociability.The themes are varied. But the author seeks, without knowing whether he is happy about it, hence the idea of ‘hesitation’, to approach these themes in the field of the science of religion, emphasizing this approximation within the canons of the sociology of religion. When he investigates the quantitative and demographic aspects of the religious phenomenon. And within the canons of the anthropology of the religion, when it investigates the qualitative and more metaphysical aspects of the religious phenomenon.In this book the following topics will be addressed:A) the process of metropolization suffered by Pentecostalism in the face of modernity. In this essay, the author uses concepts of urban sociology, which reveals an interdisciplinary study;B) an essay that discusses the dogmas of African art. This study draws on previous knowledge of the author with interdisciplinary knowledge from the so-called ‘african studies’ to concepts of philosophy of art ;C) an essay that discusses the return of the sacred in postmodernity. This study discusses whether there is more reverence or less reverence in the so-called ‘post-modernity’. If there was a disenchantment of the world as understood by Weberian phraseology or if there is a re-enchantment of the worldD) an essay that discusses the concept of biblical ‘providentiality’. The text understands that the notion of ‘providence’ in the context of Judeo-Christian culture can only be understood if we assume how we view the world and our theological and / or sacral relationship with it: whether theist, deist, atheistic, agnostic etc.E) an essay that discusses Catholicism in Brazilian territory after the publication of the 2010 CENSUS of religions by I.B.G.E . The study reveals the Catholic demographic decline, the growth of the evangelical demographic segment and a third demographic segment that continues to grow in the Brazilian territory, namely: the so-called ‘no religion’. F) an essay discusses whether there is a ‘Spiritist paradigm’. And it seeks to clarify, if this paradigm exists, what it consists of and what elements are constituted this religious or sacral paradigm.G) an essay discusses the notion of ‘the spirituality of the universe without author’. And it seeks to see the implications of the understanding of the universe and / or world to use a category of Greek metaphysics without the probable “signature of God” as presupposed in the Newtonian scheme. Which he sees in the universe as a kind of sandbox and stones that repel each other mathematically. Unlike the teleological universe of Aristotle. In a world conceived like this: how to face the task of Immanentize the world, that t can no longer be transcended?H) An essay discusses whether West African Yoruba culture is heterocentric and heterosexist. The study makes assumptions, but not exhaustive, about a possible disqualification of homosexual men, lesbians, transvestites, transgenders and queers in this ethnolinguistic territory from cultural clues and vestiges in oracular artifacts of this culture like the game of Opele Ifá , Meridilogun
