[pt] O uso do texto de Rm 5,12-21 quase exclusivamente nos debates a respeito da origem e da universalidade do pecado levou a uma supervalorização da discussão a respeito do segmento 12d, passando quase desapercebidos aspectos fundamentais para a compreensão da mensagem teológica contida no texto paulino. Um desses aspectos transcurados foram as alusões a Is 53,11-12. A presente pesquisa pretende ser uma contribuição para que se possa perceber os efeitos produzidos por essas alusões nos contemporâneos de Paulo, as quais trazem à mente dos ouvintes/leitores a figura do Servo que por seu conhecimento justifica a muitos presente no texto isaiano, como também as categorias bíblico-teológicas do Novo Êxodo e da Nova Criação contidas no seu contexto e com as quais está profundamente interligado. A partir disso, a recuperação do valor dessas alusões possibilitaria uma compreensão mais adequada do potencial hermenêutico, teológico e retórico da perícope, o que resultaria em uma verdadeira contribuição para o debate teológico tendo-se em vista o espaço que a perícope paulina ocupa em tal debate. A metodologia a ser utilizada será aquela proposta por G. K. Beale, a qual, contemplando os aspectos sincrônicos e diacrônicos da pesquisa, propõe uma análise exegético-interpretativa, mostrando-se assim muito adequada para que se possa perceber a intenção de Paulo ao utilizar o texto isaiano. / [en] The use of Romans 5:12-21 almost exclusively in debates regarding the origin and universality of sin has resulted in the super valorization of the discussion on segment 12d, with fundamental aspects for the understanding of the theological message comprised in the Pauline text going almost unnoticed. One of the pretermitted aspects was the allusions to Isaiah 53:11-12. The present research aims to contribute to a perception of the effects these allusions produced on Paul s contemporaries. They make the hearers/readers picture the image of the Servant who by his knowledge will justify many, present in Isaiah s text, as well as the biblical-theological categories of the New Exodus and the New Creation comprised in its context and to which it is strongly interconnected. Following that, the recovery of the value of these allusions would enable a more adequate understanding of the hermeneutical, theological and rhetorical potential of the pericope, which would result in a true contribution for the theological debate, considering that Paul s pericope plays an important role in such debate. The methodology used in this study will be that proposed by G. K. Beale, which, by contemplating the synchronic and diachronic aspects of the research, proposes an exegetical and interpretative analysis, therefore proving itself perfectly adequate to enable the perception of Paul s intention when using Isaiah s text.

There is no consensus regarding the interpretation of the "Spirit like a dove" comparison in Jesus' baptism (Mk 1:10). Although scholars have proposed at least fifty different interpretations of the dove comparison, no study appears to have considered Isaiah's three dove texts as the background for the Markan dove (cf. Is 38:14; 59:11; 60:8). This neglect is surprising considering the abundance of Isaianic allusions in Mark's Prologue (Mk 1:1-15), and the growing awareness that Isaiah is the hermeneutical key for both the Markan Prologue and Jesus' baptism within it. Indeed, Mark connects the dove image inseparably to the Spirit's "descent" from heaven, which alludes to Yahweh's descent in a New Exodus deliverance in Isaiah 63:19 [MT]. Furthermore, each Isaianic dove text uses the same simile, "like a dove" or "like doves," which appears in Mark 1:10, and shares the theme of lament and restoration which fits the context of Mark's baptism account. This study therefore argues that the dove image in Mark 1:10 is a symbol which evokes metonymically Isaiah's three dove texts. So the Spirit is "like a dove" not because any quality of the Spirit resembles that of a dove, but because the dove recalls the Isaianic theme of lament and restoration associated with doves in this Scriptural tradition. After discussing the Markan dove in terms of simile, symbol, and metonymy, the study examines the Isaianic dove texts in the MT and LXX and argues that they form a single motif. Next, later Jewish references to the Isaianic dove texts are considered, while an Appendix examines further dove references in Jewish and Greco-Roman literature. Finally, the study argues that the Markan dove coheres in function with the Isaianic dove motif and symbolizes the Spirit's effect upon and through Jesus by evoking metonymically the Isaianic dove texts.
