Site Information:
Faculdades Escola Superior de Teologia (EST) is an important
reference center for formation and research in Brazil and is one of
the best reputed centers in Latin America. Its general goal is to
promote academic formation and foment scientific research in the field
of applied human and social sciences, linguistics, languages, arts and
health. It aims at capacitating qualified professionals for work in
various socio-cultural areas which demand specialized knowledge in
those areas.
The history of the Faculdades EST, especially of the bachelor’s
Program in Theology, is intimately related to the German immigration
in southern Brazil. Since 1824 an expressive number of Confessional
Lutheran Germans have arrived in the southern part of the country,
beginning a work of edification of congregations. Initially, this work
was done by lay people, or pastors coming from abroad. Soon, a need
was felt to have theological formation on Brazilian soil, something
which became reality in the year of 1946, with the foundation of the
Escola de Teologia (School of Theology). Today, with a 73-year-old
history, the Faculdades EST works with different levels:
undergraduate, post-graduate, extension and technical programs.
The missionof Faculdades EST is to promote Teaching, Research and
Extension, seeking academic excellence and contributing to the
capacitation of ethical professionals who work in a way which
promotes, through their professional effort, human dignity and
solidarity. For this reason, it is constituted as a formation center
in higher education, which, through ethics and quality teaching,
promotes the transversality of the sciences and human dignity with a
broad and constructive social perspective.
Since it is an institution tied to the IECLB, the Faculdades EST
bases its action on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, on the commitment with
the tradition of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century and
its important contribution to education, always in an ecumenical
perspective. For this reason, itself, it is an institution which
prioritizes the cultivation of a spirituality in which people are
invited to, freely, live out the love of God in their personal,
professional and social relations. These are the philosophical and
educational presuppositions which tie it to the solid humanist
traditions, which capacitate it to contribute to a democratic,
pluralist and solidary society with all people, especially with the
most vulnerable of the Brazilian society.
Today they recognize a plurality of theological approaches, which
require that Theology positions itself in face of these new, sometimes
difficult challenges, evaluating how they contribute to a new culture
of liberation and hope. In the wake of critical theological approaches
in Latin America, Theology at Faculdades EST affords an opportunity to
unveil and investigate the different mechanisms that control the
economy, authority, natural resources , gender and sexuality, and
subjectivity and knowledge.
