Full textAbstract:
The English Revolution has long been a defining subject of English historiography, with a large and varied literature that reflects continuing engagement with the central themes of civil conflict, and deep-rooted social, political and religious change. By contrast, this period has failed to catch the imagination of archaeologists. This research seeks to understand the world of the English Revolution through its material expression in English towns. Identifying the material expressions of the period is central to developing an archaeological understanding of the period. The clearest material expressions are found, in the fortifications that were built to protect towns, the destruction that was wrought on towns and in the reconstruction of the material world of English towns. Towns, like any other artefact, have their meanings. These meanings are multivalent and ever shifting, defined by the interaction of their material fabric and those who experience it. As these meanings change over time, they can be traced through the structures and artefacts of the town, and through the myths and legends that accrete on them. Understanding the interactions of material, myth and memory allows archaeologists to understand the true meaning of the urban built environment to generate a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the nature of the English urban culture of the period. Towns were fundamental to the English imagination as much as they were economically, politically or socially important. The English Revolution sits at the heart of the accepted conception of historical archaeology, but has been curiously neglected by historical archaeologists. The cultural conflict of this period embodies the themes that are central to historical archaeology, and nowhere is this more apparent than in urban culture.

Hooley, Tristram. "Visions of a new Jerusalem : predictive fiction in the Second World War." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/853.
Full textAbstract:
The Second World War has become central to British political culture. Narratives about the Blitz and the “New Jerusalem” sought by the 1945 Labour administration are frequently evoked to justify and contextualise contemporary political action. Increasingly, however, the nature of these narratives has been called into question by historians of the period. This thesis contextualises the imaginative fictions of the Second World War within relevant political and historiographical traditions. Focusing on fictions that imagined future or alternative societies, it is argued that there were a number of hidden discourses that called into question values that are assumed to have been dominant. The thesis goes on to examine the implications of these alternative discourses for both the historiography and literature of the period. A number of linked genres are identified that deal with possible futures or alternatives to British society. Fears about impending catastrophe and invasion are examined alongside imaginative presentations of fascist and communist societies. Finally the dystopian and utopian fiction of the period is examined and compared with non-literary fears and hopes about the post-war world. Through close engagement with the culture of the Second World War this study asks fundamental questions about the relationship between past, present and future. Examining how politics and culture interact, it aims to contribute to rethinking the way in which literature is studied and to argue for a reassessment of the historiography of the Second World War.

Goodman, Samuel Geoffrey. "Mapping New Jerusalem : space, national identity and power in British espionage fiction 1945-79." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10036/3654.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that the espionage fiction of Graham Greene, Ian Fleming and John le Carré published between 1945 and 1979 illustrates a number of discontinuities, disjunctions and paradoxes related to space, sovereignty and national identity in post-war Britain. To this effect, the thesis has three broad aims. Firstly, to approach the representations of space and sovereign power in the work of these authors published during the period 1945-1979, examining the way in which sovereign power produces space, and then how that power is distributed and maintained. Secondly, to analyse the effect that sovereign power has on a variety of social and cultural environments represented within spy fiction and how the exercise of power affects the response of individuals within them. Thirdly, to establish how the intervention of sovereign power within environments relates to the creation, propagation and exclusion of national identities within each author’s work. By mapping the application of sovereign power throughout various environments, the thesis demonstrates that the control of environment is inextricably linked to the sovereign control of British subjects in espionage fiction. Moreover, the role of the spy in the application of sovereign power reveals a paradox integral to the espionage genre, namely that the maintenance of sovereign power exists only through the undermining of its core principles. Sovereignty, in these texts, is maintained only by weakening the sovereign control of other nations.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2002.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 127-130).<br>The realm of this research is the Middle East Conflict between the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples. It tries to address the hope that a viable and secure solution to conflict can be achieved despite all the foreseeable obstacles that the continuing worsening of the situation suggests. Therefore, this work aims at keeping alive the dream that one day the conflict will end with a satisfactory outcome to all parties involved. Moreover, it suggests that, despite the present uncertainties, Jerusalem, as probably the most sensitive component of the just mentioned conflict, could actually become the first Shared City Capital of two independent Nation States, Israel and the yet to be formed State of Palestine. In addition, the present project will investigate the theoretical and practical constraints and possibilities that exist in designing a city for the Palestinians under the supposition that East Jerusalem, as part of Shared Jerusalem, would one day become the Capital of a future Palestine. In addition, this research would also show the relationship between conflict and urban design through its formal representation in the urban master plans developed for Jerusalem, concentrating on the period between the end of the 19th century to the present day, in form of a brief historical background, fully subordinated to the main research.<br>by Dan Mihai Muntean.<br>S.M.

Full textAbstract:
My research focused on understanding how viceregal authority was accepted in Mesoamerica. Rather than approaching the problems from the perspective of institutional history, I drew on prosopographical techniques and the court-studies tradition to focus on the practice of government and the affinities that bound indigenous and non-indigenous political communities. In Chapters two and three I investigate how particular notions of nobility informed the ‘ideals of life’ of the Spanish and indigenous elites in New Spain and how these evolved up to 1535. The chapters also serve to establish a general context to the political situation that Mendoza faced on his arrival. Chapters four to seven explore how the viceroys sought to increase their authority in New Spain by appropriating means of direct distribution of patronage and how this allowed them personally to satisfy many of the demands of the Spanish and indigenous elites. This helped them impose their supremacy over New Spain’s magnates and serve the crown by ruling more effectively. Viceregal supremacy was justified in a ‘language of legitimacy’ that became increasingly peculiar to New Spain as a community of interests developed between the local elites and the viceroys who guaranteed the local political arrangements on which their status and wealth increasingly depended. I conclude by suggesting that New Spain was governed on the basis of internal arrangements guaranteed by the viceroys. This led to the development of what I define as a ‘parasitic civic-nobility’ which benefitted from the perpetuation of the viceregal system along with the crown. The internal political logic of most decision making and a defined local identity accompanied by increasingly ‘sui generis’ ‘ideals of life’ qualify New Spain to be considered not as a ‘colony’ run by an alien bureaucracy that perpetuated Spanish ‘domination’ but as Mexico City’s sub-empire within the Habsburg ‘composite monarchy.

Full textAbstract:
The Co-operative Party, despite representing the largest consumer and social movement in Britain, is systematically overlooked or misunderstood in twentieth century British political historiography. What makes this neglect more surprising is that from 1927 the Co-operative Party had a formal electoral agreement with the Labour Party, the basis of which remains in place today. Through this agreement the two parties agreed to work together to return joint Co-operative-Labour candidates in certain constituencies. This unique political alliance reflected a shared ideological ground between the two parties, united in their aim to displace capitalism with common ownership. However, despite this common aim, the methods through which this would be achieved varied and whilst the Labour Party focused on state ownership as key to the ‘socialist commonwealth’, the Co-operative Party, as the political arm of theco-operative movement embodied the ideal of a‘co-operative commonwealth’ built on the principles of democratic voluntary association. Historians who have addressed the relationship between the Labour Party and the co-operative movement have argued that co-operative methods of ownership were systematically marginalised, overlooked and ignored by the Labour Party, particularly during the 1945 to 1951 period of Labour Government. In this context, this thesis will examine the political relationship between the Co-operative Party and the Labour Party in the broader period from 1931 to 1951. It will argue that both organisational and ideological factors contributed to the invisibility of co-operative methods of ownership in the policies of the Labour Party. Moreover, this will provide an additional perspective to debates regarding the development of the Labour Party during the 1930s and over the future direction of nationalisation post 1945. Despite its marginality the Co-operative Party represented a large body of working class consumers and a significant business organisation, which straddled both the labour movement and co-operative movement. Whilst this thesis agrees that co-operative ideas of ownership remained a minor influence on the Labour Party throughout this period, it will nevertheless argue that Co-operative Party contributions to policy discussions provide an alternative perspective from which a growing recognition of the diversity of influences on the Labour Party can be explored. In doing so this thesis will also provide an original interpretation of the organisational and policy history of the Co-operative Party. This will highlight tensions not only with the Labour Party, but also within the co-operative movement with regards to the function and purpose of the Co-operative Party - and more significantly the role of the co-operative movement in a socialist society.

Full textAbstract:
Doctor Theologiae<br>This research project is situated in the history of Christianity in Zambia with specific
reference to the relationship between the United Church of Zambia and the New
Jerusalem Church, one of the so-called African Instituted Churches (AICs). Since the 1950s numerous members of the UCZ have become attracted to the New Jerusalem Church. Why is this case? One may identify several factors in this regard, including the administration of sacraments such as Baptism and Holy Communion also the ministry of faith healing, the ministry of pastoral care the confession of sins and the assurance of pardon. In this research project I have investigated one such factor namely the role of the ministry of music in these two churches. The term ministry of music in this context refers to praise and worship in the liturgy, to the significance of church choirs, the role of music leaders, the appropriation of melodies from various sources, the use of musical instruments and then of course to the actual text of the hymns that are sung. In this research project the focus has been on a description and analysis of the lyrics of selected hymns. This is based on the observation that the hymns that are frequently sung constitute the “theology of laity”. This project has first identified those hymns that are frequently sung in selected congregations of the United Church of Zambia and the New Jerusalem Church. For this study five urban and five rural congregations of both churches were selected. The identification of such hymns was done through interviews with the local pastors and the musical leadership of the selected congregation. On the basis of this process of identification ten of these hymns in each of the four categories mentioned above were subjected to closer analysis. The question that was addressed is this: What similarities and differences may be identified in the text of hymns sung frequently in urban and rural congregations of the United Church of Zambia and the New Jerusalem Church? The point of comparison that was used in this regard is the soteriologies embedded in the text of the selected hymns, that is, the notions of salvation expressed through these hymns. The study therefore sought to identify, describe and analyse the underlying soteriologies in the ministry of music in these two churches. It also assessed the significance of the similarities and differences identified in this way. The assumption was that there may be different images of salvation embedded in such hymns and that these may partially account for attracting people to a particular church.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on research methods from a variety of fields, including environmental history, cultural history, landscape history, ethnohistory, and historical geography, this study explores the relationships that transformed Nauvoo, Illinois and its hinterlands, from Latter-day Saint settlement in 1839 to their expulsion from the state in 1846. This work reframes foundational accounts of Latter-day Saint Nauvoo history with the contention that an understanding of cultural interactions and changes must include consideration of their environmental contexts. However, it also embraces the inverse of that assertion, and reflects the premise that one must also take cultural conditions and background into account in order to more fully understand environmental transformations. During the early 1840s, Western Illinois sat on a fluid and permeable borderland, and several groups of people attempted to establish a footing of control and power—over people and the environment—by taking advantage of those malleable conditions. Latter-day Saint colonists in Western Illinois, Eastern Iowa District, and Central Wisconsin Territory imposed their beliefs on Native American cultures, and on the environment, in attempts to establish positions of power over them; however, as they asserted those claims to power, the other cultural groups and the environment often resisted. This study demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach to the environmental humanities that will only increase in importance in the years to come. Threads of culture, landscape, and power weave together over time to form the fabric of our collective being.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has sought to achieve four related objectives in its analysis of the worker co-operative movement from the 1820s until the present. Firstly, we have sought to re-establish the importance of moral precepts in determining the agenda of the political economy of co-operation. We have drawn attention to the importance of Christian values and theology in providing the inspiration and an ideological framework for much of the movement's development. Secondly, we have sought to provide a critique of the theory and practice that has characterised worker co-operative development in the past and in the present. We have sought explanations for past failures and for the continuing marginal existence of the worker co-operative movement. Thirdly, we have sought to establish the importance of the analysis of the English Labour Economists of the 1820/30s for the provision of an alternative strategy for worker co-operative development. We show that their ideas were largely ignored by their contemporary co-operators and after Marx it has been generally assumed that their contribution to socialist thought had been surpassed. Finally, we develop the ideas of John Francis Bray in the light of our contemporary situation to provide a reworked and up to date statement of his approach to the redemption of labour. Our approach differs from Bray's in its recognition of the futility of utilising small savings to buy up capital. We advocate the use of small savings to buy labour. We demonstrate that this approach is both easier to execute and more effective in its results given modern labour market conditions and the established strength of organised labour.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the meaning of the New Jerusalem in Rev. 21-22. It is divided into four major parts. The first one is the OT background study from Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Zechariah. This section observes the prophetical messages of restoration, centering around the Temple/Jerusalem motif, which is one of the main concerns of the early Jewish writers and Revelation. The second one is the study of early Jewish tradition. This pmi investigates how the New Jerusalem theme develops during the second Temple period and post-70. This observation shows that some (not all) of the early Jewish tradition understands the rebuilding of the New Temple as the transference of the Heavenly Temple. For this reason, the Heavenly Temple/Jerusalem is emphasized. The third pmi is the NT background study. Here two facts demonstrated: Christ as the New Temple and the church as the New Temple. This conclusion provides a suitable foundation for developing our argument in Revelation. Finally, the fourthpart is the study of the New Jerusalem in Revelation, particularly Rev. 21-22. John uses much of the Jewish tradition in his writing. His main argument is that the church (which is symbolized by several images) is placed in heaven now (chs. 4-20) and the church (which is symbolized by the New Jerusalem) will descend to the earth from heaven (21 :2) in the future. This assumption is closely related to the early Jewish idea. However, he does not follow the current Jewish idea without any modification but he differentiates his understanding from it by christologically interpreting the OT messages. This is well shown in his following announcement: "I saw no Temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb" (21 :22).

School of Theology, 1999. http://www4.gu.edu.au:8080/adt-root/public/adt-QGU20030226.092450.
Full textAbstract:
The book of Revelation is perhaps the least understood and most controversial text of the Christian Scriptures. Among the mainstream churches, Revelation has been put into the 'too-hard basket.' Among the more fundamentalist churches, it has been used to construct lurid timetables of the 'end-of-the-world.' The reading of Revelation through modern eyes has tended to sever the text's connections to its original first century audience. In particular, the modern understanding of heaven and earth, the modern conceptualization of time, and the modern demarcation between politics and religion produce interpretations of apocalyptic that are alien to the ideology and worldview of its original author and audience. In this thesis I interpret the book of Revelation as looking not to the end of world history, but as an unmasking of the world dominated by the Roman Empire. In other words, Revelation exposes the claims of empire as illusory, and envisions an alternative reality that claims to be revealed and authorized by God. While this understanding runs counter to the modern 'apocalyptic paradigm,' I believe it is in keeping with the 'total conception of reality' in antiquity.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not new and significant developments for the Hindu and Jewish faiths, and the relationship that exists between them, can be demonstrated from the results of the Hindu-Jewish Leadership Summits of 2007 and 2008 in Delhi and Jerusalem. I argue that new and significant developments can be observed with this Hindu-Jewish encounter with regards to official rulings of Halacha (Jewish law), proper understandings of sacred symbols of Hinduism, and even improved Islamic-Jewish relations.
After analyzing the approaches, themes, and unique framework found within this encounter, it is clear that the Hindu-Jewish leadership summits mark new and significant developments in inter-religious dialogue between the two traditions, culminating in the redefinition of Hinduism as a monotheistic religion.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to explore the implications of a parenetic reading of the Book of Revelation as a whole, rather than merely of the seven messages in which this is more commonly regarded as the primary purpose of the text. It examines the validity of this approach in relation to the book�s claims about its purpose in the original communication event of which its text is a witness and its effectiveness in addressing hermeneutical issues in key passages of the book and argues that attention to the function of parenesis facilitates readings of Revelation which connect more directly with the intention of the book free from the need to decipher obscure coded references to past or future history.
Drawing from the text of the Apocalypse a twofold hermeneutical strategy is developed and exemplified by application to key passages of the book. The first aspect of this reading strategy is focussed on the proposed parenetic nature of the book. In an examination of Revelation�s introductory and concluding passages it is argued that as a coherent unity they form a frame around the book. This frame serves to establish the perspective from which the whole book may be read. It does so by giving rise to the expectation that the whole book contains parenetic exhortation to faithfulness in light of the imminent parousia. Consequently this thesis proceeds to interpret the Book of Revelation by focussing primarily on how the various images in the book�s body (4:1-22:9) as well as the explicit parenesis in the seven messages serve to communicate this parenetic exhortation to the original addressees.
The second aspect of interpretation seeks to facilitate scholarly analysis of the parenesis expected to be contained in Revelation�s body with systematic regard for the individual situation of each of the addressees of the book, as documented in the comparatively accessible seven messages. To this end an intra-textual hermeneutic is employed. It builds on an examination of the links between the various parts of Revelation which is part of the examination of both the book�s frame and the seven messages. This intra-textual reading utilizes the many links between the seven messages and Revelation�s body by allowing them to play a determinative role in the investigation of an image�s parenetic implications.
In order to further explore the validity of a parentic reading, the intra-textual principle is applied to two central parts of Revelation�s body, the Babylon vision (Rev 17-19:3) and the seal, trumpet and bowl visions (Rev 6, 8, 9, 11:15-19, 15, 16).
In this reading, the Babylon vision is read not as a general critique of the church�s pagan environment but as a divine commentary on the concrete threats and temptations with which the churches of the seven messages were confronted. In God�s judgment of Babylon those who suffer under her violence against Christians are promised vindication and are thus encouraged to maintain their faithful witness as citizens of the New Jerusalem. The citizens of Babylon however are exhorted to repent and leave her behind, becoming citizens of the New Jerusalem and thus escaping Babylon�s demise.
The seal, trumpet and bowl visions are interpreted as illustrating the dividing line between what constitutes faithful witness to Christ on the one hand and heed to satanic deception on the other. Faithfulness even to the point of death is expected of the followers of the Lamb; the inhabitants of the earth are exhorted to repent from their affiliation with the beast and give glory to God.
Thus such an intra-textual reading of Revelation as parenesis offers a strategy for reading the book in a way that is relevant for the Christian church beyond the limits of end-time phantasms on the one hand and mere historic interest on the other hand and so might facilitate the emergence of the message of the book from the obscurity in which it appears to be hidden to a significant proportion of its contemporary readers.

espetáculo Paixão de Cristo.
Importante descrever processos e materiais, registrando fotograficamente os
figurinos existentes no acervo de Nova Jerusalém e os croquis do acervo do referido
artista e outras imagens de livros de Carlos Reis, Jamildo Melo e Diva Pacheco, pois
resgata parte da história do teatro histórico, religioso e cultural pernambucano,
nordestino e até brasileiro. Somada a investigação fontes bibliográficas, e levando
em consideração à história oral, nas entrevistas e depoimentos de Victor Moreira,
Marina Pacheco, Arnaldo Siqueira e Antonio Lopes, sendo este último quem me
levou a Victor Moreira, bem como, à análise do acervo do artista formatando o meu
objeto da pesquisa enquanto história e cultura.
Faço estudo qualitativo, descritivo e analítico das montagens do ano de 1954 ao ano
de 2004, pontuando como se deu a evolução dos figurinos de Herodes, Pilatos e
Demônios. A transformação vista etimologicamente como mudanças nos figurinos de
Herodes e Pilatos, e a transfiguração, estabelecida enquanto etimologia, dos três
Demônios ao assimilar formas diferentes. Levando-me a estabelecer nos meus
relatos os processos criativos como processo de trabalho que incorpora pesquisa do
artista, técnicas da produção, no que concerne a elaboração dos figurinos do
espetáculo como um todo e no particular das personagens Herodes, Pilatos e
Demônios.<br>The research show and analyze the Victor Moreira’s costume creations, for the

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the changes in the Israeli and Jewish-American public perception of Holocaust memory in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and offers an elaborate comparative analysis of public reactions to art about the Holocaust. Created by the inheritors of Holocaust memory, second and third-generation Jews in Israel and America, the artworks titled Your Colouring Book (1997) and Live and Die as Eva Braun (1998), and the group exhibition Mirroring Evil. Nazi Imagery/Recent Art (2002) were hosted at art institutions emblematic of Jewish culture, namely the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and the Jewish Museum in New York. Unlike artistic representation by first generation, which tends to adopt an empathetic approach by scrutinizing experiences of Jewish victimhood, these artworks foreground images of the Nazi perpetrators, and thus represent a distancing and defamiliarizing approach which triggered intense media discussions in each case. The public debates triggered by these exhibitions shall constitute the domain for analyzing the emergent counter-positions on Holocaust memory of post-war generations of Jews and for delineating their ideological views and divergent identity stances vis-à-vis Holocaust memory. This thesis proposes a critical discourse analysis of public debates carried out by leading Jewish intellectuals, politicians and public figures in Israel and in America. It suggests that younger generations developed a global discourse which challenges a dominant meta-narrative of Jewish identity that holds victimization and a sacred dimension of the Holocaust as its fundamental tenets.

Wilkins, Ryan T. "The Influence of Israelite Temple Rites and Early Christian Esoteric Rites on the Development of Christian Baptism." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2011. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2908.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to answer the question of the origin of some of the most fundamental additions made to early Christian baptism. Christian baptism began in a relatively simple liturgical form, but became, by the fourth century, a much more dramatic set of initiation rituals. Among the added elements to baptism were washing ceremonies in the nude, physical anointing with oil, being marked or signed with the cross on the forehead, and receiving white garments. Scholars have proposed different theories as to the origins of these baptismal rituals. Some claim the elements existed in the New Testament practice of the rite. Others have supposed that the Christian church adopted the elements from either the Jewish synagogue or from contemporary pagan modes of initiation. This thesis argues that the initiation rituals of the Israelite tabernacle and temple provide a much more likely source for the added elements of Christian baptism. The esoteric practices of the temple priests became the esoteric tradition of early Christianity. The rites of this temple-oriented esoteric tradition in both the Old and New Testaments parallel, and may have been the origin for, the evolutions made to Christian baptism during the third and fourth centuries of the church. Christian groups such as the Valentinians provide evidence of higher esoteric rites being interpreted as baptism. Somehow the esoteric rites of the Israelite temple and the esoteric rites of early Christianity were adopted into the practice of Christian baptism.

Previous issue date: 2017-08-07<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Fundação São Paulo - FUNDASP<br>The purpose of this thesis is to construct a proposal for the analysis of the power relations, induced especially after the début of the IURD´s New Temple of Solomon, in the city of São Paulo, in July 2014. Given the prevalence of the theme, it implies, firstly, that an Interpretative Sociology of Power Game, as an initial contribution, can avail itself of contiguous conceptualizations to the work of Pierre Bourdieu. The theory of power or the symbolic game translated sociologically into "spaces of dispute and power game"; parallels in analytical key instances to the characterization of the surrounding mythical environment to the Temple of Solomon. We also work with the possibility that the concept of cluster, borrowed from Economics field could better describe certain peculiarities of our object in its relation/imbrication with a throng of other institutions and religious associations; in particular, from other Pentecostal churches of the most diverse denominations located at Av. Celso Garcia, Bairro do Brás, São Paulo, SP and surrounding area. This church passes through the media´s symbolic power construct (imagery) of the Solomon´s Temple, in its Jewish envelopment, undertaken by the whole universal company jointly with its media ecosystem: news networks, multiple channels on the Web, soap opera, cinema, dramatics; By the construction - physical erection of the building itself, mediated by the largest nationally and internationally renowned companies, sectorial focused, while: the largest real estate brokers, the most prominent consulting and audit offices, large contractors and builders, and leading suppliers, thus supporting the entire period from the construction project presentation in 2010 to its opening in 2014 - passing through leadership speeches, launching of the foundation stone, scale model exhibition to the press and to the general public; description of all construction steps, the twelve unofficial inaugurations, the official inauguration and the entire functionality of the enterprise<br>A realização da presente tese consiste em construir uma proposta de análise das relações de poder deflagradas sobretudo após o début do Novo Templo de Salomão da IURD, na cidade de São Paulo, em julho de 2014. Dada a prevalência da temática, insinua-se, nesse primeiro momento, que uma Sociologia Interpretativa do Jogo de Poder, possa como contributo inicial, valer-se de conceptualizações contíguas à obra de Pierre Bourdieu. A teoria dos jogos ou a metáfora do jogo traduzida sociologicamente em “espaços de disputa e jogo de poder”; paraleliza em instâncias fulcrais analíticas à caracterização do entorno mítico circundante ao Templo de Salomão. Trabalhamos também com a possibilidade de que o conceito de cluster, tomado de empréstimo da Economia, pudesse melhor descrever certas peculiaridades de nosso objeto em sua relação/imbricação com um aglomerado de outras instituições e agremiações religiosas; em especial, de outras igrejas pentecostais das mais diversas denominações presentificadas na Av. Celso Garcia, no Bairro do Brás, São Paulo, SP e entorno. Tal passa pelo constructo simbólico-midiático (imagético) do Templo de Salomão, no seu envoltório judaico, empreendido por toda a empresa universal conjuntamente ao seu ecossistema midiático: agências de notícias, múltiplos canais na Web, teledramaturgia, cinema, teatro; pela construção – erguimento físico do prédio – em si, mediada pelas maiores empresas renomadas nacionalmente e internacionalmente, setorialmente focadas, enquanto: as maiores intermediadoras de negócios imobiliários, os mais destacados escritórios de consultoria e auditoria, grandes empreiteiras e construtoras, e fornecedores de ponta; cobrindo, assim, todo o transcurso desde a apresentação do projeto de construção no ano de 2010 a sua inauguração em 2014 – passando pelos discursos da liderança, lançamento da pedra fundamental, exposição da maquete à imprensa e ao público em geral; descrição de todas as fases da construção, das doze cerimônias inaugurais não oficiais, da inauguração oficial e da plena funcionalidade do empreendimento

Previous issue date: 2015-10-21<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This doctoral thesis aims to present what came to be built through the Solomon s First Temple Imaginary, which many people still believe in the nowadays that it is factual. However, the Temple as presented in the Hebrew Bible never existed, because no more than an annex king s palace; it s also not factual the myths circulating the kings David and Solomon, which were not as grand as the Hebrew Bible points. Nevertheless, on two occasions in the history of Judah, the Deuteronomist Revolution and the Return of the Captivity, the Temple had a centralizating function and required many founding myths to legitimize it. With such myths, the people who were near the Temple felt more part of the House of Yahweh for believing participate of a plan established by the Creator of the Universe and all the stories invented and developed by the Deuteronomist and the Priestly gave them greatest joy and hope. What happened in fact was the king s power legitimacy in the context of Deuteronomist Reform and the priest s power in the return of the Captivity in the early Persian period. As for the post-exile, for being a more recent period, is greater amount of elements that characterize the stimulation of popular imaginary regarding the First Temple than in the period of the Deuteronomist Reform, despite the latter being period of prosperity for the Kingdom of Judah<br>A presente tese de doutorado visa apresentar o que veio a ser construído através
do imaginário sobre o Primeiro Templo de Salomão, o qual muitas pessoas ainda
acreditam nos dias de hoje que seja factual. Entretanto, o Templo, conforme o
apresentado na Bíblia Hebraica, jamais existiu, pois não passava de um anexo do
palácio do rei; tão pouco são factuais os mitos que circulam em torno dos reis Davi e
Salomão, que não foram tão grandiosos quanto a Bíblia Hebraica aponta. Apesar
disso, em dois momentos da História de Judá, na Revolução Deuteronomista e no
Retorno do Cativeiro, o Templo teve uma função centralizadora e necessitava de
diversos mitos fundantes para ser legitimado. Com tais mitos, o povo que estava
próximo ao Templo sentia-se mais parte da Casa de Yahweh por acreditar fazer
parte de um plano estabelecido pelo Criador do Universo e todas as histórias
inventadas e elaboradas pelo Deuteronomista e pelo Sacerdotal lhes davam maior
alegria e esperança. O que houve, de fato, foi a legitimação do poder do rei, no
contexto da Reforma Deuteronomista, e do poder do Sacerdote, no retorno do
Cativeiro, no começo do Período Persa. No pós-exílio, por ser um período mais
recente, encontra-se maior quantidade de elementos que caracterizam o estímulo do
imaginário popular sobre o Primeiro Templo do que no período da Reforma
Deuteronomista, apesar deste último ser um período de prosperidade para o Reino de
Judá

Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit der Bedeutung der Nationen aus Offb 21,24.26 auseinander. Wie

Die These erhärtet sich, dass das Alte Testament in Bezug auf die Beziehung des Gottesvolks zu den
Nationen eine Vorschau auf die zukünftigen, himmlischen Zustände ist und dass die Zeit des Neuen
Testaments eine Zeit des Übergangs darstellt, in der das Gottesvolk neu formiert wird.
Der gegenseitigen Beziehung kommt eine enorme Bedeutung zu. Das Gottesvolk ist dazu eingesetzt,
zusammen mit Gott über die Nationen zu herrschen. Die Nationen ihrerseits sollen durch diese
göttliche Herrschaft zur Erkenntnis und zur Anbetung Gottes geführt werden. Es ist ein fester
Bestandteil der Identität des Gottesvolks, dass es zwischen Gott und den Nationen steht und vermittelt.
Somit begründet sich die Präsenz der himmlischen Nationen in ihrer Notwendigkeit als Gegenüber des
Gottesvolks.<br>The following dissertation examines the meaning of the nations mentioned in Revelation 21:24.26.
How is it possible that there will be nations as counterpart to God's people?
In the course of the study, the thesis is confirmed that the relationship between God's people and the
nations shown in the Old Testament is a preview to the future state in heaven and that the New
Testament stands for a time of transition and new formation of God's people.
An outstanding meaning is attributed to this mutual relationship. God's people is appointed to rule
over the nations along with God. By divine rule the nations are to be led to recognition and adoration
of God. It is an inherent part of the identity of God's people to stand and to intercede between God and
the nations. Thus the presence of heavenly nations is justified by its necessity as counterpart of God's
people.<br>Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics<br>M. Th. (Systematic Theology)

Bibliography: leaves 289-298<br>Source-criticism of the Pentateuch suggests that the priests (Source P) alone authored the
Holiness Code – the premise being that Source P forms one religious, literate and elite group
of several. Through the endeavor to redefine Israelite identity during the Neo-Babylonian
Empire of 626–539 BCE and the Achaemenid Persian Empire of 550–330 BCE, various
ideologies of Israelite identity were produced by various religious, literate and elite groups.
Possibly, the Holiness Code functions as the compromise reached between two such groups,
these being: the Shaphanites, and the Zadokites. Moreover, the Holiness Code functions as
the basis for the agreed identity of Israel as seen by the Shaphanites and the Zadokites.
Specifically, in Leviticus 19:1-19a – as being the Levitical decalogue of the Holiness Code,
and which forms the emphasis of this thesis – both Shaphanite and Zadokite ideologies are
expressed therein.
The Shaphanite ideology is expressed through the Mosaic tradition: i.e., through the Law;
and the Zadokite ideology is expressed through the Aaronide tradition: i.e., through the Cult.
In the debate between the supremacy of the Law, or the Cult – i.e., Moses or Aaron – the
ancient Near Eastern convention of the ‘rivalry between brothers’ is masterfully negotiated
