Theology has got the challenge of speaking about Jesus Christ in the contemporary world. Adélia Prado s work presents itself as a rare moment in Brazilian literature in which we can glimpse an expression of the Christian experience. Prado s verses reveal to us a visceral and affective Christological experience that translates the peak of Christian mystique: the figure of engaged and erotic love, personified in lovers or the betrothed. Mystique is the guideline that knits together literature and theology in Adélia Prado s work. Adelian poetics expresses a mystique centered in the Mystery of Incarnation which values the dimensions of love, everyday life, human wishes and feelings. The theopoet leads us to looking to God through beauty, glory, figure, paradox and mystery, through words and silence, on the reverse and inside out. Her poetic-mystic texts communicate a real experience and have the power of a kerigma. We find in Adélia s work a theopoetic Christology, which also relates to anthropology, aesthetics and pneumatology. In the anthropologic dimension, the theopoetics articulates a dynamic conception of the human being from a growing and ripening perspective. As to the aesthetics, Adélia s perspective goes in the direction of the Christian experience: Jesus is God s poetry. Theopoetic Christology is built on the affection by the Spirit. It comes from a poetic experience – Christopathy – as well as from a following – Christonomy. It is the allocution of experience, a communication of experience. Poetry will save me, for it keeps the paradox of the Christian mystery: the beauty of the Crucified. Silence and words, fear and desire, light and shadow. Poetry-action that is a discourse guided by God, a process, a metanoia, human liberty and regeneration. Adélia s poetic work is a chant, blown and inspired by the Holy Spirit.
