O tema desta pesquisa abrange a penetração e a repressão inquisitorial portuguesa à chamada heresia luterana. Antes de qualquer comentário, é necessário dizer que o termo luterano, na Época Moderna, era utilizado pelos inquisidores como termo genérico para identificar os estrangeiros protestantes. É um tema inédito e original, no âmbito das pesquisas históricas especializadas em Inquisição, com o foco direcionado para os processos inquisitoriais do Santo Ofício Lisboeta contra réus em terra brasílica. Trata-se de uma investigação a respeito da introdução e da difusão do luteranismo no Brasil colonial entre os séculos XVI e XVII. Processos da Inquisição portuguesa são as fontes primárias de maior relevância nesta tese. Além de que, há documentos administrativos e jurídicos que aprimoram a exploração da temática. O luteranismo no Brasil Colonial apresentou várias facetas: desde um luteranismo das naus, quando os portugueses expandiam-se para o além-mar e eram tomados por luteranos ingleses e franceses ao luteranismo da terra firme com seus conflitos e guerras coloniais, contando, também, com aquele tipo de luteranismo por adesão voluntária. O crime perseguido e processado pelo Tribunal da Inquisição Portuguesa no Brasil foi um luteranismo articulado com as profundas mudanças sociais, políticas e culturais da Europa Moderna e com as singularidades da sociedade colonial. / The issue of this research covers Portuguese penetration and inquisitional repression to the so-called Lutheran heresy. Before any comment, it is necessary to say the term Lutheran at the Modern age was used by inquisitors as a generic term to identify protestant foreigners. It is an unpublished and original issue among historical researches specialized in Inquisition, focusing the inquisitional processes of the Lisboeta Saint Services against defendants in Brazilian lands. It deals of an investigation concerning introduction and diffusion of Lutheranism in Colonial Brazil between the 16th and 17th centuries. Processes of the Portuguese Inquisition are the most prominent primary sources in this Dissertation. Besides, there are administrative and juridical documents which improve the issue exploitation. Lutheranism in Colonial Brazil presented many faces: since the ships Lutheranism, when Portuguese expanded off shore and were taken by French and English Lutherans to the land Lutheranism with its conflicts and colonial wars. Also presenting that Lutheranism for free adhesion. The pursued and sued crime by the Portuguese Inquisition Trial in Brazil was a Lutheranism articulated with deep social, political and cultural changes in Modern Europe and with the singularities of colonial society.

Between the tensioned forces of aggregation and dispersion, this text has as objective to identify the ethnic elements (belonging to the "Volga germans" immigrants and their respective descendants) and religious (from lutheran prothestantism) and to investigate the relations of these elements with the impact of political practices on the context of Getúlio Vargas government in Brazil, especially during the period of "New State" (from 1937 to 1945) that contributed to the construction of the identity of the Lutheran Community of Imbituva-PR. The migration movement and the establishment of this ethnic and ecclesiastical group produced tensions and conflicts in the receiver society in order to cause significant changes, as resistences, creation of borders, otherness, assimilation, hybridization, in the life of the own immigrants on this new context. Ethnicity and religiosity configure categories of analysis relevant to the understanding of aspects concerning to the historicity of identitary settings in this social group. / Esta pesquisa busca tecer um estudo historiográfico sobre o processo da construção de identidade da Comunidade Evangélica Luterana Ressurreição, localizada na cidade de Imbituva, centro-sul do Estado do Paraná. Entre as forças tensionadas de agregação e dispersão este trabalho tem por objetivo identificar os elementos étnicos (pertencente aos imigrantes “alemães do Volga” e seus respectivos descendentes) e religiosos (do protestantismo luterano) e investigar a relação destes elementos com o impacto das práticas políticas no contexto do governo de Getúlio Vargas no Brasil, especialmente no período do Estado Novo (de 1937 a 1945) que contribuíram para a constituição da identidade da Comunidade Luterana de Imbituva-PR. O movimento migratório e o estabelecimento deste grupo étnico e eclesiástico produziram tensões e conflitos na sociedade receptora de modo a provocar significativas mudanças como resistências, criação de fronteiras, alteridade, assimilação, hibridização, na vida dos próprios imigrantes neste novo contexto. Etnicidade e religiosidade configuram categorias de análise relevantes para a compreensão de aspectos concernentes à historicidade da configuração identitária deste grupo social.

Therefore, this study s goal is to provide a general look of how the Protestant Reformation influenced the politics, specifically in Germany and in its late unification process; and to understand how the Church s division, starting with the Protestant Reformation, generated consequences in the political world. In order to analyze the role of Protestantism in the formation of the German nation, the Catholic Church s history was analyzed, showing its evolution and how in the medieval period, it became an independent and autonomous institution, that possessed many lands, riches and the monopoly of knowledge. An institution capable of exercising great political and social influence in the people and in the civil authorities. This research is organized around the question: is there in fact a real influence of Protestantism in the formation of the German nation? Based on historical and theological arguments, the suggested hypothesis is that the Protestantism influenced the formation of the modern political thought, more specifically in the formation of the concept of German nation, given the verifications as: the real power the Catholic Church had over the government of the European territories, influence that was extended to Lutheranism in Christianity s division, especially when it was used by princes who sought regional autonomy, which led to the strengthening of the internal segregation of the territories that would come to constitute Germany. / A dissertação analisa a influência política da Igreja no Estado, tema polêmico com raízes de grande profundidade na história, principalmente no período de formação dos Estados, quando a Igreja possuía muitas riquezas e poder e dominava a instrução, influenciando a base política e infiltrando as autoridades seculares. A partir dessa realidade, o objetivo desse estudo é fornecer uma visão, de uma forma geral, de como a Reforma Protestante influenciou a política, especificamente na Alemanha e em seu processo tardio de unificação. Procura-se compreender como a cisão da Igreja, a partir da Reforma Protestante, gerou conseqüências no mundo político. Para analisar o papel do protestantismo na formação do Estado-nação alemão, analisa-se um histórico da Igreja Católica, mostrando a sua evolução e como, no período medieval, se tornou uma instituição independente e autônoma, possuidora de diversas terras, riquezas e do monopólio do conhecimento. Uma instituição capaz de exercer grande influência política e social, tanto no povo como nas autoridades seculares. A pesquisa se organiza a partir do seguinte problema central: há, de fato, uma real influência do protestantismo na formação do Estado-nação alemão? Com base em argumentos históricos e teológicos, a hipótese sugerida é que o protestantismo exerceu influência na formação do pensamento político moderno, mais especificamente na própria formação do conceito de Estado-nação alemão, a partir de constatações como: o real poder exercido pela Igreja Católica no governo dos territórios europeus, influência esta que se estendeu ao luteranismo na cisão do cristianismo, principalmente quando este foi utilizado por príncipes que buscavam autonomia regional, o que levou ao fortalecimento da segregação interna dos territórios que viriam a constituir a Alemanha.

This study explores the role of design as a force that may stabilise cultural identity in a cultural climate of globalisation through the use of visual rhetoric and narrative. It focuses specifically on the heritage and face of a German culture in South Africa. Objects that are found amongst the South African German community are analysed in an attempt to uncover the rhetoric and narrative of the culture’s heritage in a country far removed from their Heimat. The study deals with terms such as Sehnsucht and belonging, of maintaining a sense of cultural difference while being integrated and socially accepted. It uses visual rhetoric as a means to discover elements that may be used by design in order to adequately represent the Germanness of the South African German community in a way that it can be maintained in today’s way of life. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Visual Arts / unrestricted

Caracterizando-se por um empreendimento destinado a crianças com vistas à formação do futuro fiel adulto, o periódico obteve grande repercussão por onde circulou. Este estudo, abrangendo a circulação na região meridional do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, vale-se de depoimentos e documentos impressos, em especial o conjunto de periódicos disponibilizados para leitura em diferentes acervos, perfazendo um total de aproximadamente 2.339 paginas. A análise de dados está alicerçada em referenciais teóricos advindos basicamente de dois autores: Roger Chartier - no que se refere a apropriação, produção e circulação do impresso; e Michel de Certeau, no que se refere aos conceito de estratégias (empreendimento dos editores) e táticas (diferentes formas como leitores se apropriaram da proposta estabelecida pelos editores). Como procedimento operacional, o conteúdo de cada periódico foi processado e transferido para um banco de dados, adaptado a partir de software existente para outros fins, criando-se Unidades e Subunidades de análise. Ainda como procedimento metodológico, a pesquisa vale-se da memória de sujeitos envolvidos com o periódico no período delimitado para esta investigação, coletando significativos depoimentos que ajudam a responder não só as questões iniciais que desencadearam a pesquisa, como também aquelas que foram emergindo ao longo do percurso investigativo. Entre as conclusões, cabe ressaltar que o impresso, ao adotar o locus da escola paroquial, e mais tarde o da escola dominical, bem com ao propor criativas estratégias planejadas e executadas em cada período, reforçou a sua legitimação por décadas. Embora conteúdos religiosos e doutrinários se sobrepuseram aos conteúdos lúdicos, estes constituíram estratégias fundamentais na conquista de leitores, em especial ao colocar leitores em interação com a revista e/ou com demais leitores. O conjunto de dados também permite concluir sobre o eficiente uso da revista nos processos de educação formal, não como material didático planejado, e sim como um veículo de leitura, continuamente legitimado pelos respectivos pastores e professores. Apesar das táticas de escape dos leitores- por exemplo, não fazendo uso do conteúdo conforme os editores previam - é possível afirmar que, de modo geral, o projeto da revista foi cumprido, constatando-se pelos depoimentos colhidos que ainda hoje muitos leitores dão continuidade a leituras produzidas e/ou recomendadas pelo Sínodo. / This research intends to analyze O Pequeno Luterano, a printout produced with clear educational purposes and explicit doctrinaire perspective, constituting itself as one of the main pedagogical vehicles used by the Missouri Synod (Brazils Lutheran Church nowadays), in the period between 1930 and 1960. The periodical was characterized as an undertaking assigned to children aiming the formation of the future adult believer and gained great repercussion where it circulated. This study comprehends the periodical circulation in the southern area of the state of Rio Grande do Sul and takes support on testimonies and printed documents, especially the group of periodicals available to reading in different documentary collections, totalizing nearly 2.339 pages. The data analysis is supported on theoretical referentials of two authors: Roger Chartier regarding the printout appropriation, production and circulation and Michel de Certeau, considering the concepts of strategies (editors undertaking) and tactics (different ways of how readers borrow the propositions set by the editors). The operational procedure used consisted in process the content of each periodical and transfer it to a database adapted from a software originally created for other purposes. In this adaptation, it was constituted unities and sub unities of analysis. This research also relies on the memories of the subjects involved with the periodical during the period investigated. These testimonies were very useful to answer the original questions which started the investigation as well as those which emerged along the investigative path. Among the conclusions, its important to emphasize that the printout reinforced its legitimation by adopting the parochial school (and later, the Sunday school) locus, as well by proposing creative strategies planned and fulfilled in each period. Although religious and doctrinaire contents overlapped ludic contents, the ludic contents constituted fundamental strategies to gain readers, especially by placing readers in interaction with the periodical and/or with other readers. The group of data also allows to set conclusions on the efficient periodical use in the formal education processes, not as planned didatic material, but as a reading vehicle, permanently legitimated by the respective priests and teachers. Though the readers escaping tactics ? such as not making use of the content according to the editors expectations ? its possible to affirm that in a general way the periodical project was accomplished. Also it was verified on the collected testiomonies that until today many readers continue reading the material produced and/or recommended by the Synod.

For over four hundred years historians and theologians have been unable to come to a consensus as to where Johann Arndt (1555-1621) fits on the spectrum of orthodoxy in the Lutheran church, what age he best represented, and how he should be understood. Arndt has been credited with reviving medieval mysticism, as being a subversive innovator within the Lutheran church, and as being the father of Pietism. All of this confusion seems to come from the variegated nature of his work. Arndt was willing and able to borrow from a variety of traditions as he sought to revive the church of the Reformation on the eve of the Thirty Years’ War. This work is an investigation into the private world of Arndt through his correspondence as he wrote to individuals with varying theological temperaments. In a sense this thesis follows the pioneering work of Friedrich Arndt, who attempted in 1838 to investigate Arndt’s self-understanding on the basis of his correspondence; his work, however, was severely limited by the fact that only ten letters were known at the time. The Verzeichnis der gedruckten Briefe deutscher Autoren des 17. Jahrhunderts published in 2002 listed twenty-three known letters of Arndt. For my research and using the footnotes and appendices of secondary literature on Arndt and with help from the Forschungsbibliothek in Gotha, I have collected fifty-two letters written by Arndt. This work is the first to treat the letters exhaustively and proposes to present a fuller biographical picture of Arndt and to explore his self-understanding as a prophet of spiritual renewal in the Lutheran church.

Segundo ele, a incerteza objetiva, sustentada na apropriação da mais apaixonada interioridade é a verdade, a mais alta verdade que há para um existente. Essa definição de verdade como subjetividade é, ainda, uma paráfrase da fé. Para o filósofo da religião, a verdade do cristianismo está, não na objetivação de doutrinas, mas na apropriação de seu(s) paradoxo(s) com a paixão da interioridade; no salto da fé. Decorre daí que a verdade religiosa, essencialmente subjetiva, só é efetivamente comunicada de forma indireta; por e para o indivíduo livre em sua existência. Muitas vezes, entretanto, a verdade religiosa é transformada em verdade objetiva, absoluta. É o que acontece em instituições religiosas, caso da Igreja Evangélica Luterana do Brasil (IELB), em que o ideário de proclamação baseia-se na premissa de que o erro precisa ser corrigido e a verdade proclamada. Tal realidade, observada claramente na atuação comunicacional midiática, revela forte tendência à racionalização da fé em detrimento da subjetividade do existente em busca de sentido último. / For Søren Kierkegaard, life demands the encounter of a truth one can live and die for. According to him, the objective uncertainty, sustained by the appropriation of the most passionate inwardness, is the truth, the highest existent truth for a person. This definition of truth as subjectivity is also a paraphrase of faith. For the philosopher of religion, the truth of Christianity does not lie in the objectification of doctrines, but in the appropriation of its paradox(es) with the passion of inwardness; In the leap of faith. Religious truth, essentially subjective, is only effectively communicated indirectly; by and for the free individual in their existence. Often, however, religious truth is transformed into absolute, objective truth. This is what happens in religious institutions like the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil, where the idea of proclamation is based on the premise that the error has to be corrected and the truth proclaimed. This reality, clearly observed in the media communication, reveals a strong tendency towards rationalization of faith at the expense of the subjectivity of the existing person in search of ultimate meaning.

[pt] A esperança cristã em Lutero tenta resgatar elementos para os atuais estudos teológicos dos últimos tempos a respeito deste tema. A teologia luterana, proveniente da Reforma do século XVI, não tratou diretamente do tema em questão naquele período. Assim, diante das novas pesquisas da Escatologia, faz-se necessário o resgate de artigos de fé que auxiliem a traçar a esperança cristã sob a perspectiva luterana. Para alcançar o objetivo de compreender e definir a esperança cristã na perspectiva luterana, foi imprescindível a releitura de teólogos luteranos – Lutero, Melanchthon, Chemnitz, Gerhard, Walther – e teólogos consagrados no luteranismo atual. A metodologia utilizada foi a bibliográfica. O texto foi escrito em forma cronológica, iniciando por Lutero, seguindo até os teólogos do último século. Como resultado, o presente trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento do tema da esperança cristã no ensino e na proclamação da Igreja cristã. / [en] Christian hope in Luther tries to rescue elements for the current theological studies of recent times on this topic. Lutheran theology, coming from the 16th century Reformation, did not directly address the issue at hand in that period. Thus, in the face of new research on eschatology, it is necessary to rescue articles of faith that help to trace Christian hope from the Lutheran perspective. To achieve the objective of understanding and defining Christian hope in the Lutheran perspective, it was essential to reread Lutheran theologians – Luther, Melanchthon, Chemnitz, Gerhard, Walther – and theologians consecrated in present-day Lutheranism. The methodology used was bibliographic. The text was written in the chronological form, starting with Luther, following until the work of Lutheran theologians of the last century. As a result, the research presents the development of the theme of Christian hope in teaching and proclaiming the Christian Church.

This essay is firstly a study of the early modern period in Sweden regarding questions of religion. Secondly the essay intents to interpret these religious questions with the help of theories surrounding Norbert Elias civilizing process. The main purpose of this essay is to examine the religious transformation-event that took place in Sweden during the the late 16th century where the archbishop of Uppsala Abraham Angermannus through an inquisitional inspection journey – or so called “räfst” – sought to punish the sinners of the kingdom. Furthermore the aim is to analyze and discuss this religious happening through what has been said in the Swedish historical field of research. The source material of the study is the court journal that compiles almost every case of the inspection journey in some some detail. Here demarcations are made where the study tend to focus on cases pertaining religious questions, Catholicism, magic and witchcraft. In conclusion I here argue that the purpose of the inspection journey, that was instigated on the behest of duke Charles, was the cessation of the apocalypse. Therfore all crimes that had any connection with Catholicism and non-Lutheran creeds, manners and faiths were looked upon with harshness and were further on bundled together and labled as witchcraft or black art. From the civilizing perspective I moreover claim that the inspection journey sometimes could have had the support of the people and that it was not only a project designed by and for the authorities needs. Therfore the study tend to lean more against a supporting of the development theory rather than that of the intervention theory. This in spite of the later criticism that was aimed against the archbishop and his inspection journey.

This thesis addresses four years of the turbulent history regarding a small Italian Reformed group, better known as Waldensians, that lived in the duchy of Savoy (or Italian Piedmont). It will focus on how the Swedish press presented their issues to the Swedish readership in the years 1686-1690. The source is the Ordinarie Stockholmiske Posttijdender, a newspaper that started to be published during the final years of the Thirty Years’ War, and which is the only preserved Scandinavian and Lutheran newspaper survived (until these days). Within the newspaper there are few and short reports on the Reformed groups from the Piedmont area that sometimes are in disaccord. This paper aims to see how Swedes portrayed the Waldensians through media within the Swedish Lutheran State. One main argument is that the newspaper represents a slow process of knowledge of the Waldensians. Only during the War of the League of Augsburg (1688-1697), the newspaper started considering them as one of the many examples to discredit Sweden’s enemies. The Swedish newspaper is thus also understood as part of the wider European news network during the centuries of the absolutistic European States and as a tool propagating the State’s view on foreign events.
