ResumoThe present text problematizes the debate about theology while scientific knowledge related to divine mysteries since Rubem Alves' theological thought through a bibliographical exploratory approach. It redeems the possibilities Rubem Alves set to the problem of the scientificity of theology starting from two ideas of the author regarding the theological speech: 1) In order to know God we have to forget God and 2) Theology is a game which is played when life is at stake. The text concludes that Rubem Alves' theological thought points out some directions: (Re-)thinking theology as a human science leaned on religious experience, its symbols, legacies and hopes; (Re-)thinking theology focused on the social daily life, the reality, a theology that is born from the bowels of people who can speak from them and for them; (Re-)thinking a theology that does not lose its fascination with the mystery, a theology that sustains its poetic freedom and its prophetic criticality, i.e., a theology that is, first of all, beautiful because it is from dreams of beauty that lovers are born of.
