A pesquisa pretendeu encontrar na experiência jurídica grega dos séc. VI a IV a.C. um novo modal normativo, para além dos clássicos permitido, proibido, facultado, cujo conteúdo se emoldurasse num caráter constitutivo. A partir dos estudos do direito grego desenvolvidos desde o final do séc. XIX, especialmente daqueles trabalhados pelos atuais scholars europeus e norte-americanos, buscou-se resgatar nesta experiência uma forna de pensar o conteúdo normativo de modo diverso do presente, tentando escavar na leitura da norma e no relacionamento dos homens com o fenômeno jurídico uma maneira de ver o direito enquanto direito constitutivo de virtudes e de subjetividades austeras. Para tanto, foram fundadas algumas premilinares essenciais, capazes de justificar o porquê dos estudos sobre o direito grego sobretudo no Brasil ; a necessidade de olhar a experiência clássica como algo radicalmente diverso e novo experiência exterior e não recobro histórico; bem como o método arqueogenealógico condutor da aproximação com os antigos. Em seguida, foram levantadas as principais contribuições da experiência jurídica grega, do seguinte modo: a análise da juridicidade (norma e jusracionalidade), da estrutura deste jurídico (instituições, materialidade e processualidade), e do modo de agir/ser normativo (educação jurídica, jurista e essência do direito). Ao final, aspirou-se definir os traços desta forma de ver a experiência jurídica grega enquanto direito constitutivo: uma maneira peculiar de ler a filosofia do direito enquanto saber constitutivo, os contornos deste direito bem como os seus vetores epistemológicos e seu fim / The research has intended to find in Greek juridical experience between the VI and IV centuries b.C a new normative modal as an exclusive moral issue normative modal beyond the classical allowed, forbiden and granted. Drawing heavily on the current North-American and European scholars and also since by those started at the bottom of XIX century, the research has tried to dig up in the norm and the relationship between citizents and that one, a particular manner of think law as constitutive law of virtues and austere subjectives. After has founded some essential questions: the reason of study greek law namely in Brazil and the construction of the thesis greek approach like the archeogenealogical method and the outside philosophical experience, the research has defined the substance of ancient greek law: starting from the singular structure of law and its applications, passing by the rationality, the basic material e procedure rules and arriving at normative way of acting and being. Finally, the research has attempted to define the features of this way of looking at ancient greek law experience as constitutive law, by analyzing a particular way of read philosophy of law as constitutive thinking, the outlinings of this law and the epistemological vector and its bounds as well.

This study aims to construct the legal rights and duties of slave-owners in the first century AD as context for the exhortations in the New Testament directed at slave-owners. The central theoretical argument has been that the legal context of the first readers is essential for a valid interpretation of these exhortations, and that taking into account this legal context makes a valid interpretation possible. The study applies philological and comparative methods as well as analysis, interpretation and synthesis of the collected material. Chapter 1 provides an outline of the study. Chapter 2 first defines a search filter to delimit the vast collection of material on slavery in antiquity, and then describes ancient slavery as general context to the texts and the New Testament exhortations analysed in subsequent chapters. In chapter 3 the legal context has been constructed by way of analysis of primary texts from Greek, Roman, and Jewish law. Chapter 4 deals with primary texts on the philosophical underpinnings of slavery in the three worlds under investigation. In chapter 5 Greek, Roman, and Jewish primary texts dealing with the conduct of slave-owners in respect of their slaves have been analysed. In chapter 6 the New Testament exhortations to slave-owners have been analysed utilising the contexts constructed in the preceeding chapters. Chapter 7 summarises the findings and conclusions of the study. The study has concluded the New Testament writers’ acceptance of the legal and social reality of slavery in the first century AD. Their writings, however, contain unique features with a direct bearing on the rights and duties of slave-owners namely their persistent placement of the slave-owner – slave relationship in the context of the believing slave-owner and/or slave’s relationship with Jesus Christ. Within this framework, the study points towards diverging viewpoints within the New Testament on a continuum between social separation and acculturation. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Greek))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011
