This study looks at how to interpret Paul's letter to the Galatians in the contemporary South African church. It aims to provide a Bible study method for doing this which accounts both for the context in which interpretation takes place and for the requirements of exegesis. To this end, use is made of a combination of contextual Bible study methods and a recent multidimensional exegetical model, all of which are currently employed in South Africa. Initially, the study surveys a range of recent critical approaches to the Pauline epistles, particularly as these are employed by South African scholars working on Galatians. The fact that different exegetical approaches focus on different dimensions of the text, reveals the usefulness of a multidimensional exegetical model. The multidimensional exegetical model of Rousseau, which functions within a communication paradigm, is then introduced as an exegetical guide. To meet the second requirement of this study, the question of contextual exegesis is examined. Particular use is made of the hermeneutical approach of liberation theology, with its three mediations of social analysis, theological reflection and practical implementation. The central part of this study explores the implications of contextual interpretation and multidimensional exegesis of Galatians. The pre-canonical, canonical and contemporary contexts which affect the understanding of Galatians are discussed, and the multidimensional exegetical model is used to introduce the Galatian letter as a whole. The last part deals with the practical questions of group Bible study. The exegetical and hermeneutical theory developed earlier is simplified to provide a contextual Bible study method and this method is applied to three pericopes from Galatians. The task of bridging the gap between the university and the church is not an easy one, nor one which is solved by a single Bible study method. The exegetical and hermeneutical questions raised here point to the need for ongoing interaction between South African community of biblical scholars and those involved in the everyday life of the South African church

Orientador: Carlos Eduardo Mendes de Moraes / Banca: Claudio Aquati / Banca: Marcelo Modolo / Banca: Sandra Aparecida Ferreira / Banca: Fabiano Rodrigo da Silva Santos / Resumo: Fruto do cotejo de três edições não póstumas do romance Innocencia, esta tese objetiva, à luz da leitura da Epistula ad Pisones, de Horácio, demonstrar e analisar o processo de reelaboração textual realizado pelo Visconde de Taunay em sua obra mais famosa. O estudo busca responder aos seguintes questionamentos: Por que e como Innocencia se transformou? O método utilizado para tal objetivo baseia-se nas orientações da crítica textual e da crítica genética, compondo uma amostragem (demonstratio) resultante do trabalho com cinco capítulos retirados da primeira, segunda e quarta edições do romance, publicadas em 1872, 1884 e 1899, respectivamente, culminando na collatio, que eliminou a terceira edição do processo por ser cópia da segunda. O recorte estipulado na eleição de cinco capítulos permite que se contemple a extensão do romance, haja vista que foram selecionados do início, meio e final da narrativa (capítulos 1,8,15, 23 e 30). O cotejo das edições revela a constante preocupação e insatisfação de Taunay com seu texto, primeiramente em virtude de sua autocrítica, alicerçada na formação intelectual e artística recebida da família; também em relação ao consciente desejo e expectativa quanto à recepção do romance pelo público e, por fim, pela aguardada aceitação e pronunciamento por parte da crítica especializada. Sustentamos a tese de que esses três aspectos tenham se coadunado para a opção pela reescrita do romance a partir da segunda edição (1884), na qual se comprova que o ...

This study has the objective of answering the following questions: why and how Innocencia was changed? The methodology to achieve such goal was based on principles of Textual and Genetic Criticisms, with a selection (demonstratio) from five chapters from the first, second and fourth editions of the novel, published in 1872, 1884 and 1899, respectively. The collatio resulting from that eliminated the third edition from the selection, that edition being identical to the second one. The selection of five chapters allows for an assessment of the novel in its entirety, choosing samples from its beginning, middle and end (chapters 1, 8, 15, 23 and 30). The collation of the editions reveals Taunay's constant concern and dissatisfaction with his text, first by virtue of his self-criticism, grounded in the intellectual and artistic education from his family. In addition to that, it was revealed the author's expectations regarding the reception of the novel by the public and, finally, an expected acceptance by the specialized critics. We support the thesis that these three aspects were the motivation for the author to opt to rewrite the novel as of the second edition (1884), which shows a significantly modified text that is the basis for the future changes of the fourth edition (1899). The contact with the documents of the process reveals an artistic project based on rationality and guided by classic precepts of Horace's lessons in his Epistula...

I wish to argue the following points: 1. MT Jeremiah gives a more complex text form in its more intricate poetic structure and, therefore, represents a more ancient or earlier form of verses 10:1-18. 2. LXX Jeremiah demonstrates later interpretative and textual developments in its logical structure of verses 10:1-18, which gives emphasis to verse 11 in its structural placement of verse 9 within that of verse 5, along with the necessary deletions of verses 10:6-8 and 10. 3. Qumran, apocryphal, and pseudepigraphtical material demonstrate the cultural and scribal milieu that readily explains the alterations evident in the Septuagint text form of 10:1-18. These three primary arguments will be expressed in greater detail in chapters 2, 3, and 4. Chapter 2 concerns the Masoretic text form of 10:1-18 and explicates its text form's structure. Chapter 3 discusses the Septuagint text form of 10:1-18 and analyzes its textual developments and translation technique. Chapter 4 surveys Second Temple Period Jewish literature that contains the text of Jer 10:1-18 or references its material. I will study Jeremiah 10:1-18 with the traditional tools of textual criticism along with other biblical criticisms as well. In this thesis, I wish to argue that the texts of 4Q71 (4QJerb) and LXX Jer 10 show evidence of a secondary nature in comparison to the MT tradition as reflected in 4Q70 (4QJera). The abbreviation of the passage and the transposition of 10:9 within 10:5 reflected in 4Q71 and LXX 10 demonstrate an easier and later textual variant in comparison to the more original text form of MT Jer 10. I shall observe that 4Q71 and LXX Jer 10:1-18's alterations to MT's older text form were done for the sake of attempting to smooth out the logical flow of the pericope.
