This thesis examines Luke's portrayal of the Gentiles' state prior to their coming to Christian faith. Following the survey of research, it commences with Luke's direct references to Gentiles prior to faith. It then gathers conclusions concerning their state from the Gentile encounter with Jesus and Christian salvation. This includes Luke's notes on the condition of Gentiles and on their appropriation of salvation. Finally it draws conclusions from Luke's portrayal of Gentile Christians. Such a comprehensive study of this aspect of Luke's anthropology has not been undertaken previously and constitutes the major fresh contribution of this thesis. This comprehensive approach is necessary to challenge some previous contributions to Lukan anthropology. It argues that the main study in the field (J.-W. Taeger, Der Mensch und sein Heil; 1982) does not sufficiently consider all the evidence. By concentrating on the Gentiles in Luke-Acts (including Samaritans and God-fearers) this present thesis comprehensively covers all the relevant material. Against Taeger who suggests that Gentiles do not need 'saving' as much as 'correcting', it concludes that Luke portrays Gentiles prior to faith in a state requiring God's saving intervention. Thorough correction has to accompany and follow this salvation. Though allowing for distinct Lukan emphases, this portrait is not essentially at odds with that of other NT authors. These results further show that the Areopagus speech needs to be and can be satisfactorily interpreted in it's context and in conjunction with similar statements. This thesis further argues that Luke's narrative sections and the characterisation they present should no longer be neglected in favour of the speeches. Luke's portrayal of Gentiles prior to faith also bears on his understanding of sin and provides additional justification for the Gentile mission. This study challenges proposals of Luke's alleged anti-Judaism and provides some hitherto little-noticed correctives.

Around the time of the mass liquidations of ghettos across occupied-Poland in 1942, thousands of Polish Jews fled to the homes of former gentile neighbours, friends, colleagues, as well as strangers, in search of a precious and necessary resource: shelter. Once these liquidations were deemed complete and the majority of Polish Jews had been transported to their deaths at the extermination camps, remaining alive was itself a crime for Polish Jews. One common survival strategy was to hide in the homes of Polish gentiles, as other options, such as hiding in the open, necessitated further preparation; false documents, fluency in Polish, and connections in the gentile community, for instance. Drawing upon diaries, postwar testimonies, and oral interviews with Jews who experienced part of the occupation in hiding with Polish gentiles, this thesis highlights the multifaceted nature of relations between Jews and Poles in hiding, and argues that the behaviour of Polish aid-providers during the Holocaust in Poland unsettles distinctions between perpetrators, rescuers, and bystanders. Significantly, such categories have been rigidly maintained in much of the existing literature on Polish aid-providers. The individual chapters are devoted to the prevalence of payment for shelter, particularly in non-currency means such as property exchanges and services, and coercive, nonconsensual sexual relations in hiding. The final chapter focuses upon the region of Sokołów County and illustrates the constitutive and contextual differences between short and long-term shelter, the denunciation and murder of Jews in hiding by their Polish helpers, and the “unrighteous” actions of those declared Righteous Among the Nations. Each chapter traces the diversity of threats faced by Jews in hiding. To date, scholars have emphasized the great threat posed by the Germans gendarmes and the Polish “blue” police to Jews in hiding, and neglected the internal threats. The testimonies discussed in this thesis expose the multiple ways in which gentile aid-providers could endanger Jews in hiding.

Many may have noticed that Paul employs large number of passages from the book of Isaiah in his various Epistles. Some of those Isaianic texts are used as explicit citations whilst others are used in a more nuanced manner such as allusions and intertextual echoes. Yet, in spite of the importance of Isaiah in Paul’s letters and the centrality of Paul’s vocation as an apostle to the Gentiles in Paul’s life, no specialized study of the relationship between these two significant aspects has appeared to date. More specifically, amongst those who notice the significance of Isaiah in Paul’s Epistles, it has been widely held that Paul identifies himself with the Isaianic Servant in the way that he sees himself as the fulfilment of the Isaianic Servant. The present study seeks to explore how Paul reads Isaiah as reflected in Galatians, Romans, and 1 and 2 Corinthians, four of his undisputed authentic letters, where explicit citations and clear allusions are detected. It is not so much a study of the mechanics of citation or allusion per se as of seeing Paul as a reader and interpreter of the scriptural text. Special attention is paid to the interplay of Paul’s reading of the Isaianic texts, the role of the servant figure portrayed in Isaiah 40-66, and his understanding of Jesus as well as his own Gentile mission in the light of Isaiah. Based on a slightly modified model set out by Richard Hays, the study proceeds by looking at some of the major instances of Paul’s using of Isaianic texts within the larger literary contexts, both in Isaiah and in the flow of Paul’s argument. The goal of the study is fourfold: First, to see whether Paul’s use of these ancient texts is ‘atomistic’, taken the text out of context and applied it to his argument to serve his own purpose or given consideration of the wider context of the original text. Second, to explore how Paul reads Isaiah in the light of his special called ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles, and how the reading of the scriptural text provides him insights to God’s ongoing salvific work in the history of Israel and the person of Jesus. Third, to clarify Paul’s sense of identification with the Isaianic servant figure in relation to the ministry of Jesus and his own mission; and finally, how Paul views the Gentile mission in which he is involved in relation to the final salvation of Israel and humanity. Particular attention has been paid to Paul’s identification of the Isaianic Servant. It has been argued that he sees Jesus as the eschatological fulfilment of the Isaianic Servant. Jesus’ death and resurrection established the foundation of hope and provided a paradigm for his apostolic existence. He sees himself as the Isaianic servant in the sense that he lives a life in total identification with that of Christ, who, though experiences suffering and death, will be vindicated eventually by God.

Para tanto, dividimos o trabalho em três momentos. No primeiro, buscamos localizar as origens históricas do fascismo, na conjuntura de grave crise econômica e social que assolou a Europa do pós-guerra. Focalizamos, em particular, a crise do modelo liberal de Estado e a emergência de alternativas políticas na Itália e na Alemanha. No segundo momento, analisamos os textos que compõem a Reforma Gentiliana, buscando relaciona-la com os rumos da sociedade e da política nos primórdios do regime fascista. Enfim, procuramos o lastro filosófico da Reforma, reconstruindo a noção de Estado ético de Gentile, em sua relação com as concepções de Estado derivados do idealismo alemão, em particular de Hegel e de Fichte / Abstract: The present dissertation deals with the Educational Reform promoted by the philosopher Giovanni Gentile in 1923, and aims to understand it in its historical and philosophical roots. To do so we have divided this work into three moments. In the first moment, we try to localize the historical origin of fascism within the scenery of the deep economical and social crisis which ravaged the Europe of the post-war. We particularly focus here the crisis of the State liberal model and the arisen of political alternatives in Ita1y and Germany. In the second moment, we analyze texts about the Gentilian Reform, trying to relate it to the course of society and politics in the beginning of the fascist regime. Finally, we study the philosophical support of Reform, reconstructing Gentile's notion of an ethical State in its relation to State conceptions derived from the German idealism, particularly Hegel's and Fichte's / Mestrado / Mestre em Educação
