This study is about Moses, charismatic leadership, and the beginnings of Israel's religion. At a time when traditional and time-honoured customs were revered and preserved, but proved inadequate, Moses, a charismatically endowed leader, arose and overthrew the old order, and in its place proffered the new in the form of mono-Yahwism, which ultimately became the national Israelite religion. This claim is analysed and discussed in four chapters. Chapter 1 is a preliminary to the thesis and deals with the reason for, and aim of this study, methodological considerations, and has a section presenting, very briefly, the debate on the historicity of Moses. Chapter 2 was composed using literary principles and narrative literature in the book of Exodus, to glean a description of the character of Moses. The next two chapters form the main thrust of this study. Chapter 3 examined Weber's typology of leadership, providing the groundwork for the understanding and contextualization of charismatic leadership. The aim of chapter 4 was to show the characteristics of the charismatic leader, Moses, and how they were instrumental in his formulation of mono-Yahwism. The main points discussed were: Moses' personality, and the social context as a source of his charismatic leadership; the recognition of the charismatic leader and his message; the importance of charisma in Moses' achievements; and some factors that drive the charismatic person. The main methodological thrust is socio-religious, within which Max Weber's interpretative framework of charismatic leadership is employed. The work shows that Moses has the traits of a charismatic leader, and that, through the effect of his personality, he influenced the beginnings of Israelite religion. / Prof. J.H. Coetzee

This analysis seeks to understand a casuistic Law that addresses the situation of a pregnant woman, because there is the risk of miscarriage if he would hit her by during the fight, as penalty will be imposed the Law of Talion. Through exegetical, historical, theological and social analysis; Beginning with the translation of the Hebrew text, a legal understanding of Exodus 21: 22-25 will be sought from the perspective of the pregnant woman. From the analysis comes a brief understanding of the civil and religious law in today's society of Brazil and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. In despite of the laws seek to protect the pregnant woman, it is not full protection yet / O direito na Bíblia Hebraica passa por uma mudança paradigmática: Leis que são restritas à sociedade civil passam a ser reguladas a partir de Leis oficialmente religiosas. Nessa análise se busca compreender uma Lei casuística que aborda a situação de uma mulher grávida, pois corre o risco de perder suas crianças caso seja atingida por movimentos consequentes de uma briga de homens, como penalização será imposta a Lei de Talião. Através da análise exegética, histórica, teológica e social; a começar pela tradução do texto em hebraico, buscar-se-á emitir uma compreensão jurídica de Ex 21,22-25 na perspectiva da mulher grávida. A partir das análises chega-se a uma breve compreensão da Lei civil e religiosa na sociedade hodierna do Brasil e do Magistério da Igreja Católica. Se por um lado as Leis buscam proteger a mulher grávida, por outro, essa proteção é ainda fragmentada
