Além da Doutrina: As Vertentes Cristãs Sob a Lente de Cristo

Catolicismo, ortodoxia, protestantismo, calvinismo, arminianismo, pentecostalismo e mais — um panorama crítico das principais tradições cristãs.

  1. 1

    Catholicism: when tradition becomes authority

    Catholicism is historically relevant, but later traditions and dogmas must be judged through the lens of Christ, not institutional authority.

  2. 2

    Orthodoxy: historical continuity can also preserve errors

    The antiquity of a tradition does not in itself make it true. In Christ, every inheritance needs to be judged in light of the gospel.

  3. 3

    Protestantism: liberation from tradition or creation of new traditions?

    The Reformation faced real abuses, but it also created new confessional boundaries. The final criterion remains the same: Christ above any tradition.

  4. 4

    Calvinism: a system coherent with itself, but with Jesus?

    A Christocentric critique of hard Calvinism: the coherence of the system is not enough if its reading of election and reprobation comes into tension with Jesus.

  5. 5

    Arminianism: does free will solve everything?

    Arminianism preserves human responsibility but does not resolve the tension between grace, faith, and divine sovereignty.

  6. 6

    Pentecostalism: spiritual experience without criteria can become manipulation

    Pentecostalism has recovered spiritual expectation, but experiences and prophecies need to be judged by Scripture and the character of Christ.

  7. 7

    Neo-Pentecostalism: when the Gospel becomes a product

    Criticism of neo-Pentecostalism when faith becomes a product, leadership becomes a spectacle and Christ is reduced to a means of profit and power.

  8. 8

    Dispensationalism: When a New Scheme Controls the Entire Bible

    The text criticizes dispensationalism for imposing a recent scheme on the Bible and argues that all eschatology must be judged in the light of Christ.

  9. 9

    Progressive theology: correcting tradition without recreating Jesus in our image

    Jesus corrects traditions that harden the gospel, but he also confronts the progressive tendency to mold it to the spirit of the time.

  10. 10

    No denomination owns Jesus

    No Christian tradition has Christ in its entirety; all must be judged by him. The text combats sectarianism, institutionalism and the capture of Jesus by factions.
