Teocentrismo (jan 1, 800 BC – jun 30, 1225)

Description:

Teocentrismo (do grego θεóς, theos, "Deus"; e κέντρον, kentron, "centro") é a filosofia ou doutrina que considera Deus o fundamento de toda a ordem no mundo.[1] Nesta visão, o significado e o valor das ações feitas às pessoas ou ao ambiente são atribuídas a Deus. Os princípios do teocentrismo, como a humildade, o respeito, a moderação, a abnegação e a atenção, pode levar a uma forma de Ambientalismo.[2] A Idade Média pode ser denominada teocêntrica porque todas as suas ideias giravam em torno de Deus, o Deus da Revelação judaico-cristã e não o "Deus dos Filósofos".[3]

TEOCENTRISMO CRISTÃO / TEOLOGIA
In Christian theology, theocentricism has sometimes been used to describe theologies that focus on God the Father, as opposed to those that focus on Christ (Christocentric) or the Holy Spirit (Pneumocentric). Theocentrism was a key element of the Christology of Saint Augustine.[4] This view is resisted among some theologians on the grounds that it poses a challenge to trinity. One of these theologians is Carl Baaten who said, "If one can speak of God who is really God apart from Christ, there is indeed no reason for the doctrine of the Trinity. Some kind of Unitarianism will do the job."[5] Paul F. Knitter, in his defense as a Theocentric Christian, said it depends on how the unity between God and Jesus Christ within trinity is seen. He says that, "we cannot so neatly or exclusively affirm that the Logos/Christ is Jesus. The 'incarnating' activity of the Logos is actualized in but not restricted to Jesus. The God manifested in and as Jesus of Nazareth is the only true God".[6]

However, the term can be confusing because theocentrism can also refer to a theology that does not center on any one person of the Trinity, but rather emphases the entire Godhead as a whole. Theologies that center on the Father are sometimes referred to as paterocentric instead.[7]

It is popular with Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
