The Revolution

Precisamente neste ano de 2019, que nós celebramos o jubileu da publicação da obra A Theology of Human Hope de Rubem Alves (1933-2014), fruto de uma tese de doutoramento defendida no ano anterior por ele no Princeton Theological Seminary. Seu título original era Towards a Theology of Liberation, que foi mudado por questões editoriais. Pouco conhecido, entretanto, foi seu primeiro trabalho acadêmico – dissertação de mestrado defendida em 1964 no Union Theological Seminary (New York) – A Theological Interpretation of the Meaning of the Revolution in Brazil. Rubem Alves, muito influenciado por Richard Shaull, e indiretamente por teólogos como: Barth, Rauschenbush, Bonhoeffer, Niebuhr, Cox, pelo testemunho missionário de Albert Schweitzer e pelas reflexões de Paulo Freire e da ISAL, como também pelos resultados da Conferência do Nordeste (1962) conseguiu amalgamar esta nova teologia protestante, sendo o pioneiro protestante a utilizar as expressões “revolução” (1963) e “libertação” (1968) em trabalhos acadêmicos de cunho religioso, alterando permanentemente a vocação da teologia no Brasil. Para além dessa celebração, a pesquisa de mestrado de Rubem Alves indicava a emergência de um novo movimento na Teologia latino-americana, muito embora ele não possa ser nomeado como um teólogo da libertação stricto sensu, suas ideias teológicas sobre a revolução foram um tipo de preâmbulo ao que viria na sequência.

The Subject

The subject of the following discourse is, as the title itself points out, the anthropology of Heschel. Considering the fact that Heschel is in general unknown in Poland, I shall take the liberty to make known, in short, some pieces of information about him. Heschel was born in Warsaw, Poland on January 11th 1907. After graduating from the Gymnasium in Wilno he started his studies at Friedrich Wilhelm Universität, Berlin. At the Berlin University he studied at the Philosophy Department and, additionally, he took up studies in the sphere of Semitic Philosophy and History of Art. In 1937 Heschel was chosen by Martin Buber as his successor at Mittelstelle für Jüdische Erwachsenen-Bildung in Frankfurt on the Main. In October he was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Poland together with all the Jews of Polish nationality. After returning to Warsaw he taught philosophy and biblical sciences at the Institute of Jewish Studies. Six weeks before the German aggression against Poland he left for England and then for the United States where he stayed until his death. He was the Professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Except for his didactical activity, our philosopher did not neglect creative work. As time went on he was becoming a more and more well-known and appreciated intellectualist and social worker in America. His activity went far beyond the boundaries of the Jewish world.

He and his wife worked as United Methodist missionaries for ten years in Uruguay, from 1952 to 1962. This was followed by two years as Latin American Secretary of the Methodist Board of Missions and then eight years as Assistant General Secretary for Program Administration. In 1972 Stockwell became Associate General Secretary for Overseas Ministries of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. He took up his present responsibilities in Geneva in 1984.
