“Se somos afligidos, é para vossa consolação e salvação” (2Cor 1,6a): os catálogos de perístases e o conceito de resiliência em Paulo na Segunda Carta aos Coríntios

Abstract

This paper aims to revisit the Pauline peristasis catalogues in his second letter to the Corinthians. There, a new perspective is found, based on the interdisciplinary dialogue between the Bible, psychology and spirituality, useful for understanding resilience from a Christian perspective, as deduced from the ministry of the apostle to the nations. The concept of resilience, used first in physics and later in psychology, psychoanalysis, and sociology, is today found in various hermeneutical approaches to individual and group realities in which people are called to face adverse situations such as difficult relationships, diseases, problems, etc. An analysis of the Pauline peristasis catalogues not only demonstrates that the apostle is a model of resilient behavior but reveals, also, the sides of a hermeneutic arch whose origin is the vocation he received from Christ and whose goal to be reached is the consolation and salvation of Corinthians by him. This finding recalls once again the relevance of Paul's teachings for an interior life anchored in a spirituality of resilience in current times.
