Resumo
O presente trabalho investiga a adequação da apologética pressuposicionalista de Francis Schaeffer no contexto da pós-modernidade, questionando sua relevância em um mundo no qual os aspectos da racionalidade parecem cada vez mais relegados a um segundo plano. A pesquisa argumenta que, embora essa abordagem ainda seja pertinente para o homem pós-moderno do século XXI, o apologeta pode refiná-la, apelando inicialmente para as faculdades da imaginação e da consciência para capturar a atenção do incrédulo por meio de pontos de partida extraídos da cultura, integrando assim o método schaefferiano com a apologética cultural. Nesse sentido, primeiramente procura definir a pós-modernidade e apresentar suas principais características, além de indicar os desafios que ela impõe à apologética. Em seguida, explora a metodologia de Francis Schaeffer, destacando sua relevância para o diálogo contemporâneo, para empós discutir a apologética cultural, apresentando suas vantagens e limitações, e enfatizar a importância de o apologeta ser sensível ao contexto cultural para identificar pontos de partida interessantes para o encontro apologético. Por fim, propõe uma integração entre a abordagem pressuposicionalista de Schaeffer e os elementos da apologética cultural, defendendo que essa combinação é útil para contribuir com as discussões acadêmicas sobre a apologética cristã na pós-modernidade. Assim, a monografia conclui que uma abordagem integrada é fundamental para enfrentar os desafios contemporâneos, promovendo uma comunicação mais eficaz e relevante com o homem pós-moderno.
This work investigates the adequacy of Francis Schaeffer's presuppositionalist apologetics in the context of postmodernity, questioning its relevance in a world in which aspects of rationality seem increasingly relegated to the background. The research argues that, although this approach is still pertinent to the postmodern man of the 21st century, the apologist can refine it, appealing initially to the faculties of imagination and conscience to capture the unbeliever's attention by means of starting points drawn from culture, thus integrating the Schaefferian method with cultural apologetics. In this sense, it first seeks to define postmodernity and present its main characteristics, as well as indicating the challenges it imposes on apologetics. It then explores Francis Schaeffer's methodology, highlighting its relevance for contemporary dialogue, to then discuss cultural apologetics, presenting its advantages and limitations, and emphasizing the importance of the apologist being sensitive to the cultural context in order to identify interesting starting points for the apologetic encounter. Finally, it proposes an integration between Schaeffer's presuppositionalist approach and elements of cultural apologetics, arguing that this combination is useful for contributing to academic discussions about Christian apologetics in postmodernity. Thus, the monograph concludes that an integrated approach is fundamental to facing contemporary challenges, promoting more effective and relevant communication with postmodern man.
