Rebentos tardios da velha árvore acerca do diálogo entre a literatura e a teologia em Portugal

The dialogue between literature and theology, in Portugal, has been made with an informal timidity. I am not referring to the way in which literature opens – more or less explicitly, more or less anguished – to transcendence. Nor do I refer to the way in which theology approaches literature, often with frowning and little gratuity. It seems that the history of the dialogue between literature and theology in Portugal is written with an overlap of monologues. This article, without excessive historiographical or epistemological pretensions, seeks to claim the need for this dialogue.
