Filipe e o eunuco etíope

: uma leitura da tipologia profética no relato de At 8,26-40

Abstract

A Reading of the history of salvation reveals us God’s constant communication with humanity, calling men and women to be bearers of His Word. Responding to this vocation, all humanity is invited to welcome His Spirit and allow themselves to be guided by Him. This present dissertation seeks to study the pericope of Acts 8, 26-40 from the perspective of his prophetic relevance in this narrative. To serve this purpose, in the first chapter, we offer the interpretative keys, based on the biblical dimensions of prophecy in Luke texts and in the Old Testament. The second part is dedicated to an exegetical and typological analysis of the text. For last, this encounter, truly synodal, inspires the Church to be prophetic: a Church that listens the callings of the world, discerns the signs of times, promotes the conversion and that sets on mission. In such of a tumultuous world and full of challenges, all Christians are called to rediscover the prophetic part of the Church, assuming, with courange and discernment, the commitment to proclaim the Gospel to everyone single one.
