Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas Teologi Hari Kedelapan sebagai sum- ber berteologi yang solid untuk mempercakapkan peran gereja dalam ruang publik. Teologi Hari Kedelapan menegaskan bahwa pada Hari Kedelapan yakni hari Kebangkitan Kristus adalah permulaan dunia baru. Dengan demikian, gagasan ini mencakup percakapan liturgis, es- katologis, eklesiologis, penciptaan, dan sebagainya. Percakapan dalam makalah ini juga melibatkan konsep person dan eros dari Christos Yan- naras. Yannaras menegaskan bahwa person merupakan konstitusi yang relasional. Sebab itu, kehadirannya hanya dapat diwujudkan dalam gerak yang erotik. Untuk menegaskan kehadiran gereja dalam ruang publik, saya berargumen bahwa dengan konsep person dan eros, Hari Kedelapan merupakan gerak erotik Allah kepada dunia.   Kata-kata kunci: Hari Kedelapan, eskatologi, eklesiologi, person, eros, teologi publik.   Abstract: This article discusses Theology of the Eighth Day as a sol- id theological source to promote the role of the church in the public sphere. The theology asserts that the Eighth Day as the day the Res- urrection of Christ is the beginning of a new world. Thus, this idea includes liturgy, eschatology, ecclesiology, creation, etc. Conversations in this paper also involve the concept of person and eros from Christos Yannaras. Yannaras emphasized thatperson is a relational constitution. Therefore, its presence can only realize in erotic movements. To underline the presence of the church in the public sphere, I argue that with the concepts of person and eros, The Eighth Day is God›s erotic motion to the world.   Keywords:  The  Eighth  Day,  eschatology,  ecclesiology,  person,  eros, public theology.

Several decades ago David Tracy wrote that theologians speak to three publics: the academy, the church, and society. Since then many theologians have exhibited, in Tracy's words, “that drive to publicness which constitutes all good theological discourse[,] … a drive from and to those three publics.”1 Our four roundtable authors discuss how and why theologians engage the public sphere in the twenty-first century. In arguing for the necessity of such engagement, they also draw attention to the promise and perils of doing public theology today.

Síntese: O presente artigo é fruto de uma preocupação angustiante: para onde irão as Igrejas do Brasil depois do inesperado susto do mensalão e do petrolão? Ao apoiar, ao menos parcialmente, um regime político “da Esquerda”, a Igreja errou ou acertou? Qual o caminho daqui para frente? Uma teologia pública deve limitar-se a discussões de cunho mais acadêmico, ou deve abrir pistas concretas no terreno sempre escorregadio das relações entre Igreja e esfera pública? O artigo inicia tecendo um quadro sintético da atual conjuntura política do país, apresentando, além dos fatos principais, também um ensaio interpretativo. Em seguida, busca no passado da tradição cristã, algumas lições que ainda hoje são significativas para uma teologia pública em fase de elaboração. Finalmente, coloca o respeito à “religiosidade” humana como um fator de primordial importância para justificar a ação política em qualquer uma das esferas públicas.Palavras-chave: Mensalão/Petrolão. Teologia Pública. Esfera pública “religiosa”Abstract: The present article is the result of an agonizing concern: whereto will the brazilian churches go after the unexpected upheavel from the so-called “mensalão/monthly payment” and “petrolão/petrol payment”? In supporting, at least partially, a leftist political regime, did the church make a mistake or did it do well? From now on, which way to go is the issue? A public theology must limit itself to a more academic discussion or open up concrete roads in the slippery relations between church and the public sphere? This article starts by offering a synthetic view of the national political situation at present, indicating not only the most significant facts, but also an iterpretive assay. As a sequence, we look at some lessons in the christian tradition of the past that may be significant nowadays for a public theology still in elaboration. Finally it puts the human religiosity as a factor of primordial importance to justify political action in the public sphere.Keywords: “Mensalão/Petrolão”. Public theology. “Religious” public sphere

Abstract The study presented in this paper focuses on three evangelical churches in Sweden and their engagement with migrants. The goal of the study is to explore how professionals engage with migrants in their everyday work in a multilingual environment. To this end, data from interviews with church professionals are triangulated with video-recordings of their interaction with migrants in a variety of church settings. The analyses demonstrate how different dimensions of belonging are enacted in multilingual encounters through practices that allow the professionals to perform social work in an activity context where empathy is of great importance. These findings highlight the role of the church within the public sphere under the changing conditions of globalization.

The Public Sphere

In this article, the notion of the secular is defended as a meaningful and relevant concept in order to determine the role of theological reasoning in the public sphere. For this purpose, in the first section, it is shown that John Duns Scotus already developed a provisional account of the secular and, moreover, provided it with a theological justification. The second section starts off with a brief sketch of the secular’s main characteristics as they can be deduced from Scotus’s account. Building on Thomas Pröpper, it is demonstrated how a transcendental analysis of freedom as the basic rationale of the secular brings to the fore a fundamental ethical principle as well as an idea of the secular’s ultimate destination. Theological reasoning in the public sphere or public theology, so it will be argued, aims primarily at making visible the ethical implications and the ultimate destination of the secular.

RESUMO: Esteartigo tem po robjetivo apresentar, de maneira interdisciplinar, reflexões acerca da relação entre espaço público e linguagens. Trata-se de abordar o tema a partir: (i) das noções bakhtinianas de enunciado, significação, mundo da vida, mundo da cultura, responsabilidade e ética; (ii) das concepções ricoeurianas de atos de fala, de configuração do mundo habitável, dadupla estrutura da identidade, enquanto idem e ipse, da relação entre identidade e alteridade e da dimensão ética das narrativas ficcionais. Algumas dessas noções são aproximadas às definições de Arendt acerca do espaço público e do papel do discurso e da ação nesta esfera. Finalizando, o conceito de espaço público possibilita a discussão de uma certa concepção de ética, vinculada à relação (dialógica) dos sujeitos com a alteridade. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: discurso, espaço-público, linguagens, ética. ABSTRACT: This article aims at presenting, in an interdisciplinary way, reflections on the relation between the public space and languages. For this purpose,we shall discuss the following topics: (i) fromBakhtin’sperspective, the notions of: utterance, meaning, the world of life, the world of culture, responsibility and ethics; (ii) from Ricqueur’s perspective, conceptions of: speech acts, the configuration of the habitable world, the double structure of the identity – as idem and ipse –, the relation between self identity and otherness, and the ethical dimension in fictional narratives. Some of these notions are related to Arendt’s definitions of the public sphere and the role of discourse and action in this sphere. To conclude, the notion of public space leads us to a discussion of a certain conception of ethics connected to the (dialogic) subject-other relations. KEYWORDS: discourse, public space, languages, ethics.

A fé procura sua inteligência em dois movimentos: um ad extra,compreendendo o que se passa ao seu redor e um ad intra, num movimentode autoconsciência. Fides quaerens intellectum evoca, em dias marcados pelapluralidade e secularização, o fundamento da própria teologia. A teologia fundamentalé uma zona de fronteira entre a teologia e o mundo, a fim de traduziras questões da fé para a linguagem atual, deixando de lado uma atitude apologéticade autodefesa em prol de uma postura dialógica de empatia e alteridade,na perspectiva do Vaticano II. A questão central da teologia fundamental é darrazões esclarecedoras da fé na esfera pública, enquanto dimensão reflexiva eoperante dos fundamentos da fé diante da sociedade. A teologia é pública nãoapenas em sua autocompreensão, mas, sobretudo, enquanto ressalta a perspectivaescatológica das coisas públicas. É pública a partir de uma visão críticados problemas sociais, a fim de contribuir com a cidadania e de pensar em umasociedade que proporcione um projeto de vida mais integral e humanizado, naperspectiva do Reinado de Deus.Palavras-chave: Inteligência da fé. Pluralismo. Secularização. Fundamento dateologia. Teologia fundamental. Teologia pública.Abstract: Faith seeks its intelligence in two movements: an extra ad, understandingwhat is going on around it and an ad intra, in a movement of self-consciousness. Fides quaerens intellectum evokes, in days marked by pluralityand secularization, the foundation of theology itself. Fundamental theologyis a frontier zone between theology and the world, in order to translate thequestions of faith into current language, leaving aside an apologetic attitude ofself-defense in favor of a dialogical posture of empathy and otherness, alongthe perspective of Vatican II. The central question of fundamental theology isto give illuminating reasons for faith in the public sphere as a reflective andoperative dimension of the foundations of faith before society. Theology ispublic not only in its self-understanding, but above all, as it emphasizes theeschatological perspective of public affairs. It’s public from a critical view ofsocial problems, in order to contribute to citizenship and to think of a societythat provides a project of life more integral and humanized, in the perspectiveof the Reign of God.Keywords: Intelligence of faith.

Role Of Religion

The complex and problematic role of religion in the public sphere in modern, democratic societies raises many questions for a public theology. The aim of this article is to contribute to the ongoing debate about the task and methods of public theology by asking what we can learn from the ideas of Jürgen Habermas. Habermas was a leading participant in the thinking process on the secularisation thesis in Western societies. His view was that religion will eventually disappear from the public scene due to the rationalisation of society. In recent years he seems to have changed this view in the light of new developments in the world. He now maintains that religion has something important to offer in the public sphere. Religion could thus participate in this public discussion, provided that it satisfies strict conditions. We argue that public theology can learn from Habermas’s recent ideas regarding religion in the public sphere: attention should be paid to the cognitive potential of religion, especially regarding the importance of the lifeworld and the role of religion in social solidarity with the needy and vulnerable; hermeneutical self-reflection is important; a distinction should be made between the role of religion in faith communities and in public life; we have to accept that we live in a secular state; and we have to learn the possibilities and impossibilities of translating from religious vocabulary into a secular vocabulary in order to be able to participate in the discussions in the public sphere.

Central Archive

The archives are generally sites where historians conduct research into our past. Seldom are they objects of research. Sabyasachi Bhattacharya traces the path that led to the creation of a central archive in India, from the setting up of the Imperial Record Department, the precursor of the National Archives of India, and the Indian Historical Records Commission, to the framing of archival policies and the change in those policies over the years. In the last two decades of colonial rule in India, there were anticipations of freedom in many areas of the public sphere. These were felt in the domain of archiving as well, chiefly in the form of reversal of earlier policies. From this perspective, Bhattacharya explores the relation between knowledge and power and discusses how the World Wars and the decline of Britain, among other factors, effected a transition from a Eurocentric and disparaging approach to India towards a more liberal and less ethnocentric one.

Within this research, the authors analyse the role of the female movement in the Belarusian uprising and examine, and to which extent this involvement expands the public sphere and contributes to the changes in gender-related policies. To do this, the authors conducted seven semi-structured in-depth interviews with the gender experts and activists – four before and four after the protests.
