In *ECLESIOGENESIS: THE REINVENTION OF THE CHURCH*, originally published in 1977 and banned by the Vatican, Leonardo Boff explores this and other questions about the Christian faith, as well as analyzing the power structures of the clergy. In an age of stem cells and other scientific advances, this discussion becomes increasingly relevant. *ECLESIOGENESIS: THE REINVENTION OF THE CHURCH* denounces the Catholic Church as a verticalized institution, where a few hold power over the faith of many. Drawing on the teachings of the Bible itself, Boff notes that Jesus Christ defended the poor and denounced the power of the Pharisees. He always envisioned a horizontal community, where everyone has a voice. In this controversial work, Boff proposes even more uncomfortable ideas for the Catholic high clergy, such as the right of the faithful to participate in the structure of the institution or the possibility of a woman presiding at the Eucharist. In ECCLESIOGENESIS, the author points the way to a new experience of Church—a true liberation. And he affirms: Jesus' dream cannot remain a dream.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141353193724,"sku":"9788501080523","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/db05ef0be22192b9e3dffb587da1e836.jpg?v=1778325555"},{"product_id":"evangelho-do-cristo-cosmico","title":"Gospel of the Cosmic Christ","description":"Is the meaning of Jesus restricted to the Jewish religious sphere, Mediterranean culture, and Western civilization? Or did Jesus, through the resurrection, gain universal and cosmic significance? How can we relate the cosmic Christ to the historical Jesus? These and other inevitable questions are extensively discussed in *The Gospel of the Cosmic Christ – The Search for the Unity of the Whole in Science and Religion*. Leonardo Boff's first book, published in 1971, and also republished for the first time, *The Gospel of the Cosmic Christ* shows how we can update his message, relating it to our modern-day techno-scientific and globalized world. Revised and enriched, the text brings recent reflections derived from the new cosmology, quantum physics, and the new biology. Revisiting great thinkers from Christian history, especially Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the author studies how the cosmic relevance of Christ was understood. Boff also draws on the language of myth, developed by contemporary philosophy and anthropology. Its ultimate aim is to reinforce a holistic and integrative reading of reality and encourage a cosmic mysticism that embraces science, religion, spiritual traditions, and contemporary ecological sensibility. The Gospel of the Cosmic Christ – The Search for the Unity of the Whole in Science and Religion, therefore, remains relevant today, with modified and enriched questions.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159463543036,"sku":"9788501080516","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/8d9ba7af755f696060d5e6204654f970.jpg?v=1778321222"},{"product_id":"igreja-carisma-e-poder","title":"CHURCH: CHARISMA AND POWER","description":"The reissue of CHURCH: CHARISMA AND POWER is more than welcome.

The new edition also includes an appendix where Boff details the entire doctrinal process he and his book underwent. \"The Roman Catholic Church, institutionally, is a medieval, authoritarian, patriarchal fossil, no longer suited to the modern achievements of human rights, the spirit of democracy, and citizenship,\" states Boff, who is today one of the greatest theorists of Liberation Theology in Brazil, a religious interpretation that incorporated Marxist concepts into its analysis of the continent's social reality, placing the problems of overcoming poverty at the heart of Christian theology.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175496499452,"sku":"9788501071521","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/bc94280b0f42d13ed9632b669570be63_95860f36-e601-44ce-b3c4-cc8875fe6bf0.jpg?v=1778323331"},{"product_id":"etica-da-vida","title":"Ethics of life","description":"The guiding principle of Ethics of Life is the hope for a transformation in our society that will establish a more just way of organizing.

For the author, three major thematic complexes are driving current global discussion: ecology, globalization, and spirituality. With climate change, the issue of ecology has become vital. It is the urgent response to the threats to our planet and the future of life. Where is globalization taking us? We live in the iron age of this economic-financial process that excludes and marginalizes millions of people. Spirituality always resurfaces when a civilization like ours—globalized—enters into crisis. It is through spirituality that great dreams and a higher meaning are developed, capable of sustaining another attempt at civilization. Spirituality is not a monopoly of religions, but is deeply connected to humanity. It is necessary to give it space in the lives of people and societies so that the transition to a new global society can be made in a constructive and inclusive way.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175919370492,"sku":"9788501080509","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/46a4cafd36fe4fd9103b8dcd17632d08.jpg?v=1778322686"},{"product_id":"cuidar-da-terra-proteger-a-vida-como-evitar-o-fim-do-mundo","title":"Caring for the Earth, Protecting Life: How to Avoid the End of the World","description":"\"Tranquility in difficult times like ours seems irresponsible. Each of us must act quickly and together, because the clock is against us. We must mobilize to define a new direction for our lives on this planet, if we want to continue inhabiting it (...) The time has begun for awareness of the finiteness of all things, including that which seemed most perennial to us: the persistence of Earth's vitality, the continued balance of the biosphere, and the immortality of the human species.\" One of the world's greatest theologians and a staunch defender of environmental awareness, Leonardo Boff, is releasing a new book—complete with his vast body of work, which includes over 70 books published in several languages—on one of the issues that most concerns the planet's population: how to overcome the current ecological crisis, aggravated by global warming, to avoid a situation that threatens the future of humanity. We have reached a point where the foundations of our survival as a human species are threatened. However, this threat doesn't come from some low-flying meteor like the one that once wiped out the dinosaurs, but from something more immediate and everyday: human actions, so disrespectful of the rhythms of nature and the Earth's dynamics. Our planet, this superorganism that self-regulates to stay alive and produce what we need to survive, is being decimated. We need to restore its lost balance, and for life and civilization to be saved, it's important to care for this planet as we care for our mothers. A limited planet cannot support an unlimited project. In \"CARING FOR THE EARTH, PROTECTING LIFE: HOW TO AVOID THE END OF THE WORLD,\" Leonardo Boff warns that the set of crises plaguing humanity points us to a single crisis: that of our way of living, coexisting, and relating to nature, exploiting it limitlessly for material gain.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176259207420,"sku":"9788501091000","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/7dc3d82a9e04e6a3c35d8d5206ba4375_89fd21ee-94b3-4a42-b3ce-33e5f0b305c5.jpg?v=1781667431"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/leonardo-boff.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
