The author of the Gospel does not explicitly address the subject of ecclesiology, without concern for the constitution or organization of the community. Their concern seems to lie in the intimate relationship of communion/unity with believers, members of the Church, with Christ and with one another. The present research aims to address this question of the relationship between ekklesía and koinonía in an ecclesiological reading of the texts of the Fourth Gospel, in order to understand the intimate relationship between church and communion from the text 15:1-8 divided into two parts. In the first moment he will present an exegetical study of text 15:1-8 and then a biblical-theological study, deepening the nature of the Church in the image of the “vine and branches”, which highlights the union of those who “believe” with Jesus, A community that abides in him and lives the promise that he abides in them. This emphasis on the personal relationship of one who believes with Jesus does not suppress an authentically community reflection of the Gospel for our day and our ekklesíal reality / A ausência dos vocábulos ekklesía e koinonía no conjunto dos textos do Quarto Evangelho surpreende o ouvinte-leitor. O autor do Evangelho não trata de maneira explícita o tema da eclesiologia, sem preocupar-se com a constituição ou organização da comunidade. Sua preocupação parece estar na relação íntima de comunhão/unidade dos que creem, membros da Igreja, com Cristo e entre eles. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo tratar da relação entre ekklesía e koinonía numa leitura eclesiológica dos textos do Quarto Evangelho, visando compreender a íntima relação entre Igreja e comunhão a partir do texto 15,1-8 em duas partes. No primeiro momento apresentará um estudo exegético da perícope 15,1-8 e em seguida um estudo bíblico-teológico aprofundando a natureza da Igreja na imagem da “videira e dos ramos”, que põe em relevo a união daqueles que “creem” com Jesus, uma comunidade que permanece nele e vive a promessa de que ele permanece neles. A ênfase dada à relação pessoal daquele que crê com Jesus não suprime uma reflexão autenticamente comunitária do Evangelho para os dias atuais e a realidade eclesial

All discoveries that attempt to clear things up get people’s attention. The discoveries of Nag Hammadi writings, whose some texts are gnostics, points at an Alexandrian II century AD Gnosticism that suffered from various influences, mostly Johannine. The exploration of such environment allow us not only to notice John richness, but also his diffusion in religious environments. Some of the writings of Nag Hammadi, as Trimorfaic Protenor, John Apocryphal and Gospel of Truth, have vocabularies and thematic affinities with the Fourth Gospel, especially with the Prologue. Through the similarity with the quoted texts, the question arises whether the texts of Alexandrian II century AD were used from John prologue to his composition. The hypothesis is that somehow the Gnostics had contact with the Johannine prologue and used their concepts to base their teachings. In order to answer this question, this work has bibliographic character, using the literature concerning the prologue of the Fourth Gospel and the analysis of the quoted texts and the prologue, from the tradition and the contemporary exegesis / A semelhança entre os escritos de João e os gnósticos é um assunto que continua em pauta atualmente. As descobertas que são feitas, em uma tentativa de lançar luz sobre o tema, chamam a atenção de todos. As descobertas dos escritos de Nag Hammadi, que possui alguns textos de autoria gnóstica, apontam para um gnosticismo alexandrino do século II d.C. que sofreu várias influências, mas principalmente a joanina. Explorar esse ambiente permite contemplar não apenas a riqueza de João como também sua difusão em ambientes religiosos. Alguns escritos de Nag Hammadi, como Protenoia Trimorfa, Apócrifo de João e Evangelho da Verdade, possuem afinidades vocabulares e temáticas com o Quarto Evangelho, sobretudo com o Prólogo. Através da semelhança com os textos citados, surge a pergunta se os textos do gnosticismo alexandrino do século II d.C. teriam se utilizado do Prólogo de João para sua composição. A hipótese é que de alguma forma os gnósticos tiveram contato com o Prólogo joanino e utilizaram seus conceitos para embasar seus ensinamentos. A fim de responder a tal questão este trabalho possui caráter bibliográfico, utilizando-se da literatura a respeito do Prólogo do Quarto Evangelho e da análise dos textos citados e do Prólogo, a partir da Tradição e da exegese contemporânea

Central em todo o trabalho é a constatação de que o narrador configura o texto de modo a produzir nos leitores a consciência de que a narrativa se refere não apenas a um personagem da história passada, mas a Jesus Cristo vivo. Este exerce a função de orientar a compreensão do texto. Para tanto, o narrador coloca-se em segundo plano e desenvolve técnicas para que o personagem principal ocupe espaço de proeminência. A minimização da presença do narrador, antes de se transformar em debilidade textual, produz abertura do texto ao leitor. Desse modo, as estratégias estabelecidas visam atrair o leitor para que participe da trama. Para chegar a tais conclusões, o trabalho discute variadas formas interpretativas pela quais o evangelho de Mateus é estudado na atualidade. Define o gênero literário ao qual pertence o evangelho como biografia greco-romana. Identifica o narrador, seu foco narrativo e a forma como organiza o evangelho em blocos narrativos e discursivos a partir da fonte principal, o evangelho de Marcos. Por fim, explicita estratégias literárias através da comparação exaustiva entre textos de Mateus e Marcos, demonstrando como elas apontam para propósitos retóricos específicos que o narrador deseja gerar nos leitores. O canal de discussão com biblistas esteve aberto, em alguns momentos utilizando interpretações e pontos de vistas, e em outros discordando de suas colocações. A principal delas diz respeito à declaração de que o evangelho apresenta um caráter catequético e desprovido de brilho. Em oposição, afirma-se que o evangelho de Mateus possui estratégias narrativas que o tornam extremamente persuasivo aos leitores. Torna-se claro que a desconsideração dos elementos de análise descritos no trabalho produz conseqüências nocivas à interpretação do texto bíblico / Abstract: The main goal of this thesis is the study of the narrator of the Gospel of Matthew and its relationship with its main character ¿ Jesus Christ. In the very heart of the dissertation is the observation that the narrator works his text in order to produce in the readers the consciousness that the narrative has to do with the living Jesus Christ, who plays the role of guiding the understanding the text, and not only with a mere character of a past history. To do so, the narrator put himself in a secondary place, and develops some mechanisms so that the main character may occupy a prominent role. The downsizing of the narrator is not a textual frailty. Rather, it produces an opening of the text to the reader. Thus, these strategies aim to attract the reader to participate in the plot. In order to reach these conclusions, the dissertation discusses several contemporary ways the Gospel of Matthew is interpreted at this moment. It also defines the literary genre of the Gospel as a Greek-Roman biography. Besides, it identifies the narrator, its narrative focus and how he organizes the gospel in discursive and narrative blocks from its main source, viz., the Gospel of Mark. As an ending, the dissertation explains the literary strategies through an exhaustive comparison between the texts of Matthew and Mark, giving evidence of how they point to specific rhetoric purposes the narrator wish to generate in the readers. There was an open channel of discussion with Bible scholars, sometimes agreeing, sometimes disagreeing with them. The main point of disagreement was related to the statement that the Gospel has a catechetical purpose and is deprived of brilliance. Arguing against this, it is stated that the Gospel of Matthew has narrative strategies that make it extremely persuasive to its readers. It is quite clear that the disrespect of the elements of analysis described in the dissertation produces harmful consequences to the interpretation of the biblical text / Doutorado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

This thesis argues that any historiography that would contribute to theological knowledge must take into consideration, at a methodological level, the reality of God. This theological claim, in turn, has significant implications for historical knowledge and thus, historiography. The thesis moves ahead in five chapters. The first is an overview and description of N. T. Wright's historical and theological method as they both are grounded in his critical realist epistemology. The second chapter argues for a particular theological epistemology that goes beyond Wright's and corrects it, drawing primarily on the work of T. F. Torrance and Søren Kierkegaard. In the third and fourth chapters an ‘apocalyptic' theological approach is defined and articulated according to a progression from soteriology to Christology to creation. The final chapter builds upon this constructive theological work by articulating an ‘apocalyptic' theology of history which is then used to articulate some key considerations for a theological approach to historiography in critical dialogue with Wright's historical and theological method.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar a relação entre Religião e Compromisso Social a partir do movimento de Jesus. Por meio da bibliografia histórica e da sociológica, procura-se identificar os grandes problemas da sociedade em que Jesus estava inserido (Palestina do século I, sob a dominação do Império Romano). Utilizando a bibliografia bíblica atual, faz-se uma incursão no texto de Marcos para identificar a atuação de Jesus, motivada pela compaixão que demonstrou pelas multidões excluídas. A pesquisa revela que Jesus, em suas palavras e, sobretudo em seu testemunho pessoal, apresenta orientações claras ao discipulado para que também se sensibilize com a causa das multidões excluídas e de cada pessoa em particular. A pesquisa mostra também que a atuação de Jesus e do seu movimento, além de denunciar a profunda injustiça social a que estavam submetidas as multidões marginalizadas, sugere uma prática comprometida com mudanças efetivas nas relações sociais, motivada por princípios religiosos / This research project aims to study the relation between social commitment, departing from Jesus movement. Through historical and sociological bibliography, one seeks identifying the great problems of the society which Jesus lived in, (first-century Palestine under Roman empires domination). Departing from the actual biblical bibliography, one makes a incursion in Marks text in order to identify Jesus actuation, motivated by the compassion that he Jesus − demonstrated to excluded regarding to excluded crowds. This research shows up that Jesus, in his words and, over all, presents clear orientations to his discipleship so that they − his disciples themselves − also sympathize with the excluded crowds cause each one person, in particular this research also reveals that Jesus actuation and his movements that one beyond discipleship so that they-his disciples-themselves should also sympathize with the excluded crowds cause and each ones in particular this research also reveals that Jesus actuation and his movements, beyond denouncing the profound social injustice which the excluded, marginalized crowd, were subdued to suggest a compromised practice with effective changes in social rapports, motivated by religious principles

This study analyses the social function of glossolalia in the narrative world of the book of Acts. In so doing, it addresses the lack of scholarship related to treating glossolalic references from social scientific perspectives. Particularly noted is the absence in the literature of adequate treatments of the Ephesian disciples pericope in Acts 18:24–19:7, which this study seeks to correct. Through application of Berger and Luckmann’s sociology of knowledge models, this study argues that reading Luke-Acts as the author’s legitimation of the Jesus movement’s social world is a valid, even preferred reading of the literature. Tracing the development of Luke’s legitimation conceptual machinery reveals the social conflict background that to a large degree motivated its writing and organized its content. The purity-related conflicts between circumcision loyalists and Jesus followers from the Gentile world that dominate the second half of Acts is of particular interest to this research. This study demonstrates how Luke uses glossolalia as a divinely initiated marker of Gentile purity status to legitimate new social boundaries that supersede circumcision. These new social boundaries, marked by glossolalia, represent an integral component of the Jesus movement’s revised purity map, relative to temple-centred Yahwism. The legitimation reading, including Luke’s construction and validation of the Jesus group’s symbolic universe and its conclusions regarding the social function of glossolalia, is applied to the Ephesian disciples pericope. This study argues that the events narrated in this passage represent a continuing social conflict between circumcision loyalists and Gentile converts. Luke narrates the events in Acts 18:24–19:7 in order to correct a deviant baptism teaching (John’s baptism) that was propagated with the intent, based on purity concerns and prejudice, to marginalize Gentiles from full social integration into the Jesus community. Demonstrating that glossolalia functions as a social boundary marker that supersedes circumcision and that this best informs our interpretation of the Ephesian disciples pericope fully integrates this narrative event into Luke’s literary programme. / New Testament / D.

Its goal is to investigate the constitution of the rhetorical proves: ethos, pathos and logos in the theological discourse, due the fluency of such a discourse in our society. We present a panoramic view of the history of Bible canonization and its process of translations of the New and the Old Testaments. We have selected as a sample for analyzes the chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians, text which forms Paul s apology. In order to help this analyzes, we have done a presentation of Paul s Biography as well as of the city of Corinth and its Christian community. We have also written about the general characteristics of Paul s writings, dedicating a special attention to the Second Letter to the Corinthians, source of our sample of analyzes. To achieve the established objective, we used the theories of Classic Rhetoric and The New Rhetoric from Michel Meyer (1993, 1994, 2007), Chaïm Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca (1996). We have started the analyses rescuing some of the historical, linguistics and theological aspects of Paul and the Corinthians community and looked for each one of the rhetorical proves methodologically separated. The analyses proved the argumentation within Paul s discourse is made up by the rhetorical proves that are intertwined and superposed with one each other, which goal is to conquer the audience / Esta dissertação se insere na linha de pesquisa: Texto e discurso nas Modalidades Oral e Escrita. Tem como objetivo investigar a constituição das provas retóricas: ethos, pathos e logos no discurso teológico, dada a importância e influência desse discurso na sociedade. Apresentamos um panorama histórico do processo de canonização dos textos bíblicos e de suas traduções, tanto no Novo como no Antigo Testamento. Nomeamos como amostra de análise os capítulos 10, 11, 12 e 13 da Segunda Carta aos Coríntios, que formam a Apologia de Paulo. Com vistas a auxiliar a análise, realizamos uma apresentação da biografia do apóstolo Paulo, da cidade e da comunidade cristã de Corinto. Também discorremos sobre as características gerais dos escritos paulinos e dedicamos especial atenção à Segunda Carta aos Coríntios, fonte da nossa amostra. Para cumprir os objetivos estabelecidos nos embasamos nos eixos teóricos da Retórica Clássica e da Nova Retórica de Michel Meyer (1993, 1994, 2007), Chaïm Perelman e Lucie Olbrechts- Tyteca (1996). Iniciamos a análise com o resgate de alguns aspectos históricos, linguísticos e teológicos do relacionamento de Paulo com a comunidade de Corinto, e partimos para a investigação de cada uma das provas retóricas metodologicamente separadas. A análise constatou que a argumentação presente no discurso é tecida pela provas retóricas que se entrelaçam e se imbricam, com o intuito de conquistar a adesão do auditório

The study seeks to present, specifically, the excerpts with periautological expressions in order to understand the reason why Paul insists on the apparently rhetorical expressions. This research intends to analyze the expressions, to elucidate the rhetorical situations of the resource, and to compare other pericopes that present the same rhetorical style. To begin with, a general survey of the letter is conducted, discussing the perennial questions in an updatedmanner. The hypotheses about the recurring polemics about the place where the letter was written, the question of the date of the writing, and the question of its unity will be confronted. The research aims to explain the question of periautology focusing on the mimesis of the model disciple. Furthermore, it seeks to investigate and present the theological consequences arising from the phrases specifically contained in the pericope of Philippians 1,12-26 to better ground Christian discipleship / Esta investigação exegético-teológica sob o aspecto sincrônico tem como objetivo geral analisar e verificar como o recurso da periautologia presente na carta aos Filipenses contribui para compreender o discipulado descrito por Paulo ao longo de sua trajetória missionária. O estudo apresenta, concretamente, os trechos com expressões periautológicas com o objetivo de aprofundar a razão pela qual Paulo insiste no recurso. Esta pesquisa pretende analisaras expressões, elucidar as situações retóricas do recurso, ecomparar outras perícopes que apresentam o mesmo estilo retórico. No primeiro momento, realiza-se uma pesquisa geral sobre a carta discutindo de forma atualizada as questões perenes. São enfrentadas as hipóteses sobre as polêmicas recorrentes quanto ao lugar no qual a carta foi redigida, à questão da datação do escrito e, também, a questão da sua unidade. Busca-sea ilustrar a questão da periautologia no enfoque do mimesis do discípulo modelo. A pesquisa investiga e apresenta, ainda, as consequências teológicas decorrentes das expressões especificamente contidas na perícope de Fl 1,12-26 para melhor fundamentar o discipulado cristão
