Fundamentalist reading of the OT and NT tradition of the Christian religion: delineation of its possible forms

Abstract

The work in question aimed to observe/analyze religious fundamentalism, understanding this as an attitude/reading towards the Old Testament and New Testament tradition of the Christian religion - Christianity. We delimit this attitude in the context of Christianity and in Brazil. We questioned whether there would be any problem in the implementation of the fundamentalist attitude in Brazilian society, emphasizing the diverse and democratic reality very present in the country. To understand the fundamentalism in the context that we dialogue we made use in quotation of Leonardo Boff and Cássio Murilo Dias da Silva in the topic that intended to conceptualize ourselves in religious fundamentalism - especially applied to the Christian religion. In the topic about the religious fundamentalist reading in the context of the scriptural tradition of religion in focus, we list in how this reading is understood, according to Silva, which are: difficult to understand the sacred texts and Thus, it could provoke rejection to his study; naive realism; fundamentalism under the aegis of confessionality and biblical sciences. This work will be a small contribution to all who want to conceptualize themselves in the theme.
