The study of emotion in psychology and philosophy has seen major advancements in the last twenty years. This has included a new emphasis on the strong cognitive element that is present in all emotions. In large part, this dissertation is an attempt to bring the valuable findings of recent research to our understanding of emotion in the New Testament. The stated goal is to understand, in a broad sense, the use of emotion in the New Testament and how the writers perceived it. To this end, the writer surveys the ideas about emotion that were present in the Greco-Roman world, the Old Testament, and Intertestamental Judaism. The understanding of emotion by some important figures in church history is also studied. This background is then used to gain insight into the use of emotion in the New Testament. Specific, basic emotions are analyzed in the text; including love, joy, hope, jealousy, fear, anger, hatred, and sorrow. This is not a series of articles in the pattern of TDNT, but rather an analysis of emotion in general that uses specific emotions to study the subject in the New Testament. Interwoven into this study is a critique of the understanding of emotion that is predominant in New Testament studies. It is concluded that the New Testament has an appropriate and vital place for emotion in the Christian life. New Testament ethics, interpretation, and theology have often de-emphasized emotion, and this has been a mistake. A strong argument for the importance of emotion in the interpretation of the New Testament is made.

Analyser les spectacles romains du théâtre, de l'amphithéâtre et du cirque dans une démarche d'histoire sociale permet de les appréhender comme un élément structurant de la culture et de la société romaine et comme un espace-temps de la vie publique à travers lequel il est possible d'observer de manière privilégiée cette société, les différents groupes qui la composent et les relations qui se nouent entre eux. Ces performances spectaculaires avaient lieu dans le cadre de grandes célébrations publiques (les ludi et les munera) et occupaient une place ambiguë dans la société romaine. Malgré leur succès croissant et leur rôle majeur dans la vie publique, elles étaient moralement dénigrées. Strictement séparées de la sphère civique, elles étaient par conséquent accessibles aux femmes. Celles-ci pouvaient non seulement y assister mais également s'y produire, ce qui leur conférait une visibilité exceptionnelle dans l'espace public. Les pratiques d'exhibition dans les spectacles, attestées aussi bien par les sources littéraires qu'épigraphiques, sont révélatrices des contradictions de la société romaine : malgré leur discrédit, elles fournissaient aux individus, en fonction de leur statut, une source de revenus non négligeable et un outil médiatique majeur. L'exhibition des femmes dans les spectacles romains donne ainsi un aperçu de leur place dans cette société. Dans la continuité des études sur les femmes et le genre, il ne s'agit pas de déconnecter l'histoire des femmes de celle des hommes et du reste de la société, mais d'étudier des pratiques sociales mixtes en précisant la place qu'y occupaient les femmes et la signification de leur intégration à ces pratiques. / Analyzing the Roman performances of theatre, amphitheatre and circus in a social history approach makes it possible to understand them as a structuring element of Roman culture and society and as a time-space of public life through which it is possible to observe in a privileged way this society, the different groups that compose it and the relations that are formed between them. These spectacular performances took place within the framework of large public celebrations (the ludi and munera) and occupied an ambiguous place in Roman society. Despite their growing success and major role in public life, they were morally denigrated. They were therefore accessible to women because strictly separated from the civic sphere. Women could not only attend but also perform, giving them exceptional visibility in the public space. The practices of exhibition in perfonnances, attested by both literary and epigraphic sources, reveal the contradictions of Roman society: despite their discredit, they provided individuals, according to their status, with a significant source of income and a major media tool. The exhibition of women in Roman shows gives a glimpse of their place in this society. In the continuity of studies on women and gender, it is not a question of disconnecting women's history from that of men and the rest of society, but of studying mixed social practices by specifying the place that women occupied in them and the significance of their integration into these practices.

Um estudo historiográfico das Historiae abbreuiatae de Aurélio Vítor. Nisto consiste o presente trabalho, que procura determinar de que modo o referido historiador, no ocaso do reinado de Constâncio II, compôs uma narrativa dedicada à história do Império romano em sua totalidade. Para tanto, em primeiro lugar buscamos definir a natureza da obra. Em que pese os nítidos elementos biográficos que a integram, assim como a brevidade do texto, a obra de Aurélio Vítor deve ser pensada enquanto uma história, na medida em que o objetivo do autor se voltava para a exposição das causas que teriam condicionado o curso dos acontecimentos, da batalha de Ácio até o penúltimo ano do governo de Constâncio II. Desta forma, em um segundo momento, analisamos as estratégias de periodização e as concepções que Aurélio Vítor adotou a fim de contemplar a história imperial. As ações e o caráter moral dos sucessivos imperadores emergem nas Historiae abbreuiatae como o motor a partir do qual se movimentava a história da era imperial romana. Isto implicava, pois, o reconhecimento das oscilações que o mundo romano teria vivenciado ao longo de quase quatro séculos e as contradições que animavam a conduta das personagens históricas. Do que resultava, igualmente, na impossibilidade de se identificar um modelo ideal de imperador, em razão dos fatores e das circunstâncias distintas que marcariam o desenrolar da história do Império romano, como narrada por Aurélio Vítor. / A historiographical study of Aurelius Victors Historiae abbreuiatae. That is what defines the present work, which tries to ascertain how the aforementioned historian settled up a narrative about the history of the Roman Empire in the twilight of the reign of Constantius II. Therefore, we discuss at first the nature of the work. Despite the clear biographical trend we can observe in the text, as well as the brevity that characterizes it, the work of Aurelius Victor should be seen as a historical narrative since the author aimed to expose both the causes and the course of Roman imperial history, from the Battle of Actium to the last but one year of Constantius IIs reign. Thereupon we examine the strategies of periodization and the perspectives defined by Aurelius Victor in order to compose his text. In the Historiae abbreuiatae, the conduct showed by the emperors and their moral character represented the driving force of the narrative. That led the author to emphasize the ups and downs of Roman past in almost four hundred years of history. In this sense, Aurelius Victor did not lose track of some contradictions that encourage historical figures into action. That resulted in Aurelius Victors failure to identify an idealized model of Roman emperor due to distinct elements and circunstances that he himself pointed out in the course of the history of the Roman Empire.

We, then, a survey of contacts in the Jewish community in general had with the Greco-Roman both the diffusion and exchange of their values as in the spaces occupied by both cultures and their symbolic conceptions. Thus, we studied the influence of Greek meal in the writings of Luke and Acts. First, in exegetical reading of Luke 24.13-53, the disciples on the way to Emmaus, we see evidence that this narrative, especially in the scene of the table, the meal was marked by the inclusion of a foreigner. In a way, the constitution of the Lucan community points, especially regarding the meal for the formation of their identity. Then we find in the writings of Luke-Acts the conse-quences of contact. The material of Luke, both the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, presents narratives that focus on table therefore found that the act of Jesus was at table with unqualified persons, according to Jewish customs and the prospect of this material Lucan, shows the influence of Greek meal in the practice of Jewish followers of Jesus and that this practice was assimilated by this community in the early years of its formation. / Nossa pesquisa tem como meta verificar a influência da refeição helênica nos costumes de uma comunidade judaica do Mediterrâneo no primeiro século. Fizemos, então, um levantamento dos contatos em que a comunidade judaica, em geral, teve com a cultura greco-romana, tanto na difusão e troca de seus valores como nos espaços ocupados por ambas as culturas e suas concepções simbólicas. Em seguida, estudamos a influência da refeição grega nos escritos do Evangelho de Lucas e em Atos. Primeiramente, na leitura exegética de Lucas 24,13-53, os discípulos a caminho de Emmaús, percebemos nesta narrativa indícios de que, especialmente na cena da mesa, a refeição foi marcada pela inclusão de um estrangeiro. De certa forma, a constituição da comunidade lucana aponta, principalmente no que diz respeito a refeição, para a formação de sua identidade. Por fim, verificamos nos textos de Lucas-Atos as consequências desse contato. O material de Lucas, tanto o Evangelho quanto os Atos dos Apóstolos, apresenta narrativas que dão ênfase à mesa, portanto constatamos que o ato de Jesus estar à mesa com pessoas desqualificadas, segundo os costumes judaicos e na perspecti-va deste material lucano, mostra a influência da refeição grega na prática dos judeus seguidores de Jesus e que esta prática foi assimilada por essa comunidade nos primeiros anos de sua formação.

No. of bitstreams: 1 LEONARDO HENRIQUE PIACENTE.pdf: 1178258 bytes, checksum: ff6627db41d7b7353cfeec2f755778a1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-12-14 / The encounter of nascent Christianity with classical Greco-Roman culture in the second century AD had points of confluence, dispersion and conjugation. The thought of Irenaeus of Lyons (130-208 AD) in Adversus haereses shows that the relation between Christian religion and classical culture came close to the Christian gnostic groups. These, when evangelized and adept at the good news of Jesus Christ, brought with them their cultural framework, and thus Christianity marked by Jewish customs, was gaining nuances of the diverse cultures, religions, peoples and languages present in the Roman Empire. The research was not intended to value this relation Greco-Roman culture and nascent Christianity, but rather to show the importance and the tensions present in this relation, from the first book of the Demonstration and refutation to the false gnosis. Irenaeus constructed his thought in order to make clear the thinking of the various gnostic groups, in order to refute them, and in the meantime presented a systematization of the Christian faith not yet seen in his time. Its Demonstration and Refutation of the Gnostic theses was not only a way of fighting the controversies that arose in the first centuries of the Church, but was also, as presented in this research, a means of showing the interaction between Christians, especially the thinkers, with The intellectual and cultural environment that they were inserted. As a process of conjugation, Christianity and the classical culture had mutual influences, differences and points in common, in the formation from initial Christian thought. The hermeneutics of the first book of the Adversus haereses, and classical thinking, made it possible to understand and deepen the relationship between culture and religion in the second century AD. / O encontro do cristianismo nascente com a cultura cl?ssica greco-romana, no s?culo II d.C., teve pontos de conflu?ncia, de dispers?o e de conjuga??o. O pensamento de Irineu de Li?o (130-208 d.C) na obra Adversus haereses mostra que a rela??o religi?o crist? e cultura cl?ssica teve uma aproxima??o grande em virtude dos grupos gn?sticos crist?os, que evangelizados e adeptos ? boa nova de Jesus Cristo, traziam consigo seu arcabou?o cultural, sendo assim o cristianismo marcado pelos costumes judaicos, foi ganhando matizes das diversas culturas, religi?es, povos e l?nguas presentes no Imp?rio Romano. A pesquisa n?o pretende valorar esta rela??o cultura greco-romana e cristianismo nascente, mas sim mostrar a import?ncia e as tens?es presentes nessa rela??o, a partir do primeiro livro da Demonstra??o e refuta??o ? falsa gnose. Irineu construiu seu pensamento em busca de tornar claro o pensamento dos diversos grupos gn?sticos, para assim refut?-los, e neste ?nterim apresentou uma sistematiza??o da f? crist? ainda n?o vista no seu tempo. A sua Demonstra??o e Refuta??o das teses gn?sticas, foi n?o s? um caminho de combate ?s controv?rsias, que surgiram nos primeiros s?culos da Igreja, mas tamb?m foi, como apresentado nesta pesquisa, um meio de mostrar a intera??o entre os crist?os, principalmente os pensadores, com o meio intelectual e cultural que estavam inseridos. Como um processo de conjuga??o, o cristianismo e a cultura cl?ssica tiveram influ?ncias m?tuas, diferen?as e pontos em comum, na forma??o desde pensamento crist?o inicial. A hermen?utica do primeiro livro da Adversus haereses, e do pensamento cl?ssico, possibilitou compreender e aprofundar-se na rela??o cultura e religi?o no s?culo II d.C.
