| Summary: | It was in 1974 when the expression “Public Theology” was first used, by American scholar Martin E. Marty. Since then it has been used more and more. There is a great interest in Public Theology in the world today. The goal of Public Theology is to think about different public issues from a theological perspective. This paper intends to present John Calvin’s theology as a public theology as such. Calvin wrote about different aspects of social ethics and politics. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present Calvin’s thought as a kind of public theology avant la lettre. The vantage point of this paper is the Brazilian context. Em 1974, a expressão “teologia pública” foi usada, pela primeira vez, pelo erudito americano Martin E. Marty. Desde então, tem sido usada cada vez mais. Em todo o mundo, há atualmente um grande interesse nesse tipo de teologia cujo alvo é pensar a respeito de diferentes questões públicas com base em uma perspectiva teológica. O presente artigo tem a intenção de apresentar a teologia de João Calvino como uma teologia pública, já que ele escreveu sobre diferentes aspectos de política e de ética social. Portanto, o objetivo é apresentar, com base no contexto do Brasil, o pensamento de Calvino como uma espécie de teologia pública avant la lettre. |
