Initially we tried to draw a line starting from the origins of this tradition, in classical Greek texts, through the Jewish Apocalypse of the Second Temple, through Primitive Christianity and making references to some works of the Middle Ages, in order to demonstrate, once more, that the importance of the theme made him gain breath in this period too. We highlight some important concepts such as the apocalyptic genre and some striking features of the reports of journeys of hell. We define some theoretical bases that are relevant to all research, such as the importance they have for a significant study of the formation of the religious imaginary of Primitive Christianity, from sources such as apocryphal writings. In a second moment, we turn to the analysis of one of the primitive sources in which, in the second century of Christianity, reports of a description of Hell appeared in a guided journey in which condemned sinners and their feathers were described: The Apocryphal Acts of the Apostle Philip. Finally, we analyze two contemporary sources in which, we argue, there was reception of the theme of the journeys to Hell and in which are laid common characteristics in relation to continuity and rupture with the oldest writings, revealing the importance of the theme for crossing centuries of history of the Christianity, being assumed, reread and re-signified by the most diverse readers to the present day. / A seguinte pesquisa busca apresentar um mapeamento de uma tradição desenvolvida ao longo de muitos séculos nos escritos apocalípticos do Cristianismo: Os relatos de descrição de viagens ao Além-Mundo, mais especificamente, ao Inferno. Inicialmente procuramos traçar uma linha que se iniciasse nas origens dessa tradição, em textos clássicos gregos, passando pela Apocalíptica Judaica do Segundo Templo, pelo Cristianismo Primitivo e fazendo referências a algumas obras da Idade Média, a fim de demonstrar, mais uma vez, a importância do tema e como o mesmo ganha fôlego também nesse período. Destacamos alguns conceitos importantes como o de gênero apocalíptico e algumas características marcantes dos relatos de viagens ao inferno. Definimos algumas bases teóricas relevantes a toda a pesquisa, como por exemplo, a importância que têm, para um estudo significativo da formação do imaginário religioso do Cristianismo Primitivo, de fontes como os escritos apócrifos. Num segundo momento, passamos à análise de uma das fontes primitivas na qual, já no segundo século do Cristianismo, surgiram relatos de uma descrição do Inferno em uma jornada guiada em que pecadores condenados e suas penas foram descritas: Os Atos Apócrifos do Apóstolo Felipe. Por fim, analisamos duas fontes contemporâneas em que, defendemos, houve recepção do tema das viagens ao Inferno e nas quais estão postas características comuns em relação de continuidade e ruptura com os escritos mais antigos, revelando a importância do tema por atravessar séculos de história do Cristianismo, sendo assumido, relido e ressignificado por leitores, os mais diversos até os dias de hoje.

The language of the theatre in the apocalypse of John

Voortman, Terence Craig 23 August 2012 (has links)
M.A. / An explanation of what I will be doing. how I will be doing. it, and why I will be doing this research is given below. The purpose of this subsection is to enable the reader to have greater clarity regarding the overall objectives of the thesis. Chapter 1: "Ezekiel the Tragedian" The objective of chapter 1 is to examine the link between apocalypse and tragedy as genre forms. The work of Ezekiel the Tragedian belongs to the world of both tragedy and apocalypse. Ezekiel, the Hellenistic Jew, was clearly influence by a Hellenistic genre form (namely Greek tragedy) in his work the "Exodus of Moses" (an inter-testamental work based on the Exodus of Moses as mentioned in the Old Testament). Ezekiel the Jew adapts his message towards his Hellenistic audience. The question one asks is "Could John, the Jew, likewise have adapted his message towards his Hellenistic audience? Could John have used Greek drama to communicate his prophetic-apocalyptic message to his Hellenistic audience?". 1.Biermann and I.Grabe, ibid,lff. "The Exodus of Moses" has significant points of comparison with the Revelation of John. These include a vision of a figure seated on a throne in heaven (a typically apocalyptic scene), seven plagues of judgement, a battle involving huge armies, the Exodus account of the deliverance of Israel, and a chorus who sings choral songs. Ezekiel adapts and develops the Biblical narrative and expresses it in the genre of Greek drama. Chapter2: "Tragedy and the Hellenistic World" The objective of chapter 2 is to examine the evidence of tragedy in Hellenistic times. This will include examining the influence of traaedy in the seven cities of Asia Minor to whom John writes, as well as the Jews and their association with the theatre. The popularity of tragedy will be researched. The use of tragedy in the Imperial cult will be also be examined. The question that needs to be asked is "Would John be influenced by Greek drama in his communicating with the seven churches of Asia Minor? And were his audience in the seven cities familiar with Greek drama?" Chapter 3: "The Elements of _Greek Drama in the 126 -v'@ation of John" The objective of chapter 3 is to examine research regarding the Revelation of John and Greek drama. The research shall be discussed in terms of certain features common to Greek drama (for example acts and scenes, the role of the chorus. the structure, the dramatic actors etc). Furthermore, my intention is to show that a number of reputable scholars have noted significant similarities between the Revelation of John and Greek drama, with some even arguing that the Revelation of John is written in the form of a Greek drama. The viewpoint that the Revelation is written in the szenre of Greek tragedy is a respectable viewpoint and has a noteworthy following. Chapter 4: The Form of the Revelation" The form of Revelation will be compared with the form of Greek drama in chapter 4. The purpose is to see whether noteworthy similarities of form exist between the Revelation and Greek drama. Chapter 5: The Function of the Revelation" The cathartic' function of Greek tragedy and the cathartic function of the Revelation will be examined. The question asked is: "does the Revelation have a cathartic function? and if so how does this cathartic function compare with Greek tragedy? Why would the revelation have a cathartic effect?" Chapter 6: "The Throne Scene" The "throne scene" of chapter 4 following is one of the most important scenes in the Revelation of John. "Throne scenes"are popular accounts in both prophetic and apocalyptic writings 63. In this chapter we shall examine the "throne scene" from the viewpoint of Greek drama, so as to see whether it would indeed be possible to communicate a throne scene effectively in Greek drama practice. `Catharsis means "healing" in lavmens terms. This is abundantly clear in the throne scenes of Isaiah and Ezekiel in the Old Testament, as well as an abundance of throne scenes in inter-testamental apocalyptic writings.

Wisdom and apocalyptic in the Gospel of Matthew : a comparative study with 1 Enoch and 4QInstruction

Macaskill, Grant January 2005 (has links)
Recent scholarship has demonstrated that Matthew's gospel has significantly developed both sapiential and apocalyptic elements within its narrative. Little attention has been paid, however, to the question of how these two features of Matthew's gospel might relate to one another. It is this gap in scholarly literature that the present study is intended to fill, by means of a comparative study with two other texts of mixed genre: 1 Enoch and 4QInstruction. An examination of these texts demonstrates that each is marked by an inaugurated eschatology, within which the revealing of wisdom to an elect group, defined in distinction to the Jewish parent group, serves as the pivotal moment of inauguration. In addition, within 4QInstruction the idea is developed that possession of this revealed wisdom allows the remnant to live in fidelity to the will of the Creator and to the patterns built-in to the original creation. Thus, possession of revealed wisdom facilitates a recovery of creation. These findings provide lines of enquiry that may be brought to Matthew. Three sections of the gospel are examined (chapters 5-7; 11-12; 24-25). It is argued that Jesus is presented as an eschatological figure who reveals wisdom to an elect group. This wisdom cannot be reduced to great moral insight or interpretation of Torah, but is presented as prophetic revelation, happening in eschatological time. It remains the case, however, that Matthew presents it as wisdom and presents Jesus as a sage. More tentatively, it is suggested that creation provides the patterns for the ethical requirements of Jesus' wisdom, thus indicating that the idea of restored creation is also at work in Matthew. The fall of the temple may also be connected in Matthew's narrative to such a restoration, but again, the evidence for this is not clear.

Os cristãos, de ontem e de hoje, ante a tentação de se acomodarem ao mundo: uma abordagem a partir de Ap 2-3

Marcio Luiz Priori 02 September 2011 (has links)
Este estudo trata sobre os cristãos, de ontem e de hoje, ante a tentação de se acomodarem ao mundo. Ele toma como ponto de apoio o Ap 2-3. Na primeira parte, a pesquisa estabelece um paralelo entre o Apocalipse de São João, a Apocalíptica judaica e o movimento profético que precedeu o movimento apocalíptico, em Israel. Embora aproximem-se mais da literatura profética, devido ao otimismo demonstrado com relação à história presente, as cartas dirigidas às Igrejas da Ásia Menor, segundo Ap 2-3, são marcadas por uma linguagem simbólica associada a momentos de crise, uma vez que o contexto dessas Igrejas, no final do primeiro século, é marcado pelo conflito com o Império Romano e com o Judaísmo. Assim, na segunda parte, a pesquisa nos mostra que a pressão exercida sobre as populações dominadas pelo Império Romano era muito forte, e a tentação de adaptar-se ao sistema imperial era muito grande. Jogava a favor do Império o movimento gnóstico, cujas teorias penetravam nas Igrejas com o apoio de lideranças e de membros das próprias comunidades cristãs. Ao dirigir-se então às sete Igrejas da Ásia Menor, o autor de Ap 2-3 pretende despertar as comunidades para uma ameaça que não era só externa, mas também interna, a saber: a penetração da heresia gnóstica, que favorecia a adaptação do cristianismo ao ambiente do Império Romano. Na terceira parte, constatamos que essa tentação de adaptar-se ao mundo continua muito presente em nossos dias. Continua muito atual, portanto, a mensagem contida nas cartas dirigidas às comunidades da Ásia Menor, que têm como primeira finalidade despertar os cristãos de sua acomodação e de seus compromissos com a ordem presente. Aos cristãos de hoje, seduzidos pela cultura atual e tão bem adaptados à sociedade, que já não percebem as contradições presentes nelas, o apelo é para que voltem a Jesus Cristo e retomem a conduta de outrora (cf. Ap 2,5), o que significa, muitas vezes, colocar-se na contramão da história, para testemunhar, no seio de uma comunidade cristã, que um outro mundo é possível. / This study deals with Christians from the beginning to today in the presence of the temptation to accommodate themselves to the world. It takes as point of support Revelation, chapter 2 and 3. In the first part, the research establishes a parallel between Apocalypse of John and the Jewish apocalyptic and the prophetic movement that preceded the apocalyptic movement in Israel. Although the letters written to the churches of Asia Minor, according to The Rev. 2-3, due to the optimism shown with respect to the present history, they are marked by a symbolic language associated with a crisis, since the context of these churches, at the end of the first century, is marked by conflict with the Roman Empire and Judaism. Thus, in the second part, the research shows that the pressure on the populations dominated by the Roman Empire was very strong, and the temptation to adapt them to the imperial system was too great. The Gnostic movement was in favour of the Empire, whose theories penetrated the churches with the support of leaders and members of their communities. In addressing the then seven Churches of Asia Minor, the author of Revelation 2-3 intended to arouse interest the communities to a "threat" that was not only external but also internal, namely the penetration of the Gnostic heresy, which favored adaptation of Christianity to the environment of the Roman Empire. In the third part, we found that the temptation to adapt to the world is still very present today. It's still very current, so the message contained in the letters addressed to the communities of Asia Minor, whose first purpose awaken Christians of their accommodation and their commitment to the present order. For today Christians, "seduced" by the current culture and so well adapted to society, they no longer perceive the contradictions in them, the appeal is to come back to Jesus Christ and "resume the conduct of old" (cf. Rev. 2,5), which means often put in the "opposite" of history, to witness, within a Christian community, that another world is possible.

A simbologia da resistência política no livro do apocalipse : hermenêutica a partir de ap 17,1-18

Jair Rodrigues Melo 01 December 2013 (has links)
O presente trabalho versa sobre o processo de simbolização da resistência presente no livro do Apocalipse. A pesquisa busca analisar as relações entre o conjunto de símbolos utilizados no livro e a resistência política das comunidades cristãs diante da opressão do Império Romano no alvorecer do Cristianismo. Nesse sentido, a partir de uma metodologia de natureza bibliográfica, fomenta uma reflexão crítica entre o texto e o contexto do Apocalipse, visto como literatura engajada com a oposição às condições opressoras às quais muitas comunidades cristãs estavam sujeitas. O trabalho está dividido em três capítulos: no primeiro, é discutido o contexto sócio-histórico das comunidades cristãs, que favoreceu o surgimento do Apocalipse. No segundo, é feita uma análise do texto de Ap 17,1-18 do ponto de vista exegético e hermenêutico. Por fim, no terceiro, são discutidas as formas através das quais alguns símbolos descritos fazem críticas à opressão política do Império Romano. / This work is about the process of symbolization of resistance present in the book of Revelation. The research analyzes the relationship between the set of symbols used in the book and the political resistance of the Christian community on the oppression of the Roman Empire at the dawn of Christianity. Accordingly, from a bibliographical methodology, this study encourages critical reflection between the text and the context of Revelation, seen as engaged literature with the opposition to oppressive conditions to which many Christian communities were subject. The work is divided into three chapters: the first discusses the socio-historical context of Christian communities that favored the emergence of Revelation. The second is an analysis of the text of Revelation 17,1-18 in terms of exegetical and hermeneutical. Finally, the third discusses the ways in which some symbols are described criticism of the political oppression of the Roman Empire.

The Red Jews: Apocalypticism and antisemitism in medieval and early modern Germany.

Gow, Andrew Colin. January 1993 (has links)
The Red Jews are a legendary people; this is their history. From the late thirteenth to the late sixteenth century, vernacular German texts depicted the Red Jews, a conflation of the Biblical ten lost tribes of Israel and Gog and Magog, as a savage and unnaturally foul nation, who are enclosed in the 'Caspian Mountains', where they had been walled up by Alexander the Great. At the end of time, they will break out and serve the Antichrist, causing great destruction and suffering in the world. The hostile identification (c. 1165) of Jews with the apocalyptic destroyers of Ezekiel 38-39 and Revelation 20 expresses a new and virulent antisemitism that was integrated into the powerful apocalyptic traditions of Christianity. None of the few scholars who have noticed the Red Jews in medieval and early modern vernacular texts has sought out, collected and examined the complete body of medieval and early-modern sources that feature the Red Jews. This study provides a long-term analysis of the intimate connections between antisemitism and apocalypticism via a forgotten and submerged piece of German 'medievalia', the Red Jews. The legend gradually dissipated. Until the beginning of the seventeenth century it was a medieval lens through which Germans saw events relating to the Turkish threat in the East; after that time, the Red Jews disappeared from European texts.

Apocalyptic imagery in four twentieth-century poets : W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Robert Lowell and Allen Ginsberg

Sarwar, Selim. January 1983 (has links)
In twentieth-century poets such as W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Robert Lowell and Allen Ginsberg, the literary apocalyptic--identifiable by its homology with the major elements of the biblical Apocalypse--undergoes progressively complex transmutations. While in the early Yeats the apocalyptic is evocative of earnest Romantic moods, in his later work it is complicated by irony, yoked to the cycles of Yeatsean history, and counteracted by exaggerated postures of defiance. In Eliot, a reductive juxtaposition of the apocalyptic and the contemporary foreshortens the traditional paradigms to a diminutive modern-day scale. In Lowell, the apocalyptic is manifested variously as a bitter inversion of American Puritan eschatology, the telescoping of the personal and the cosmic, and a catastrophe in slow-motion. The climactic point of distortion, however, is reached in Ginsberg's poetry in which apocalyptic horrors form a bizarre combination with humour and bathos. While their treatment of the eschatological is widely divergent, an element common to all four poets is their ambivalence towards the paradigms of an apocalyptic new world.
