The voice of Jesus in six parables and their interpreters
No full text'Figures of speech' provide a suggestive key for approaching the question of Jesus' individual tone of voice. Apprehending a figure implies insight into an intention, and beyond intention to discern unconscious influences upon the speaker. This is the conceptual framework for a study of the 'voice of Jesus' in six parables peculiar to Luke (10:25-37; 15:11-32; 16:1-9; 16:19-31; 18:1-8; 18:9-14) and in commentaries upon them. In the premodern era commentators approached the parables with an immediacy of insight, seeking the divine intention behind the texts. Nevertheless we may hear the voice of Jesus echoing in their commentaries in morally specific tones. In the work of Jülicher 'insight', though repudiated, is still important, as he seeks the intention of Jesus through the figure of simile. Jülicher offers insight into Jesus as a passionate communicator, but goes beyond Jesus' intention in making him a propounder of generalities. More recently a concern with the intention of Jesus is replaced by a concern with how his voice was heard. The necessity of insight remains apparent in B.B. Scott's use of metaphor as an interpretative key. An impression is given of Jesus as a provocative subversive. In their context in Luke-Acts, the parables function as metonymies of the gospel, and yield an impression of the voice of Jesus as suggestively concerned with the life of this world. In the ministry of Jesus the parables function as synecdoches, offering hearers a realistic and hopeful 'part' of the world from which they must fashion a 'whole’. Against the background of Scripture the parables display a deep continuity with older forms of discourse, but also important tokens of newness. A stream of influence can be traced from the Old Testament, through Jesus and Luke, and on through their interpreters, though recently its course has been somewhat diverted

The anger 01- jesus in mark's gospel
No full textThe textual variants in Markan passages depicting the anger of Jesus coupled with Matthaean and Lukan amendments to and omissions from them, suggest that discomfort at the thought of Jesus' anger is no merely modern phenomenon. Nevertheless its possibility still strikes some as bizarre and some as impossible. However, in this thesis I argue that, far from being extraneous or peripheral. Jesus' anger is integral to Mark's presentation of the gospel First, it illustrates Mark's claim that Jesus was the son of God. Many of the themes associated with God's anger in the Old Testament are discernible also in Mark's Gospel. Furthermore, in Mark Jesus alone expresses 6prn . and, while the indignations of others are invariably condemned, Jesus' expressions of anger are always cast in a positive and even divine light. Secondly the anger of Jesus highlights the importance of the various issues which were the subject of intense debate between Christians and Jews, within Judaism itself and among his own followers. The status of the law, the nature and purpose of miracles, the meaning of suffering, the roles of children, outsiders and Gentiles are all very much to the fore in the Markan pericopae which depict Jesus' anger. His anger proclaims their seriousness and the urgency with which they should be tackled The notion of Jesus' anger involves, inevitably, some recognition of the mystery surrounding his character and his relationship with God However, one of Mark's main points seems to be that Jesus is an enigma only to the hard of heart and the blind in perception. In the six Markan passages, which are the subject of this thesis, Jesus lays down clear principles for faith, action and discipline. His anger underlines their importance and his own authority
Sophia and the Johannine Jesus
No full textThis thesis examines the relationship between the Jewish figure of Sophia and the Johannine Jesus, Recognising the problem of identifying the female Sophia with the male Jesus, we ask how the Fourth Evangelist has tackled it and what effect, if any, the solution may have had on the portrayal of women within the Gospel. Following an introductory chapter outlining the scope of the thesis, Chapter Two examines the context from which John has drawn on Sophia. Bearing in mind always the monotheistic character of Judaism, we discover the way in which traits of ANE Goddesses have influenced the development of Sophia as a figure within Jewish thought. We find that by the time of the writing of John's Gospel, on the one hand there was a highly developed picture of Sophia as a feminine expression of God active in Israel's history, while on the other hand there were efforts to repress her gender significance. Chapter Three examines the relationship between this female figure and John's picture of Jesus. The Logos of the Prologue, found to be influenced at almost every turn by Sophia speculation, proves to be a useful cover employed by the Fourth Evangelist to effect the switch of gender from Sophia to Jesus. Further study shows that all the main themes of the Prologue are worked out in detail in the body of the Gospel. Hardly a major Johannine theme remains untouched by some measure of Sophia's influence. This leads us to the conclusion that John has intentionally presented us with Jesus as Jesus Sophia Incarnate. Chapter Four examines the possibility of a connection between the discerned Sophia christology and the prominent role played by women in the Gospel. We find that all the stories concerning women appear at important christologlcal points in the Gospel. Further investigation shows that all the women demonstrate the essential characteristics of discipleship, in a way in which the traditional male disciples of the Synoptic tradition do not. The women are seen to function as paradigms of discipleship for the community to which the Gospel Is addressed. In addition, traces of influence from Sophia speculation are also to be found in the way in which the stories concerning women are told. Finally, some reflections are offered on the wider implications of the findings in chapters three and four, along with some suggestions for further research

Harmony and discord within the English ‘counter-culture’, 1965-1975, with particular reference to the ‘rock operas’ Hair, Godspell, Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar
No full textPhDThis thesis considers the discrete, historically-specific theatrical and musical sub-genre of ‘Rock Opera’ as a lens through which to examine the cultural, political and social changes that are widely assumed to have characterised ‘The Sixties’ in Britain. The musical and dramatic texts, creation and production of Hair (1967), Tommy (1969), Godspell (1971), Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) and other neglected ‘Rock Operas’ of the period are analysed. Their great popularity with ‘mainstream’ audiences is considered and contrasted with the overwhelmingly negative and often internally contradictory reaction towards them from the English ‘counter-culture’. This examination offers new insights into both the ‘counter-culture’ and the ‘mainstream’ against which it claimed to define and differentiate itself.
The four ‘Rock Operas’, two of which are based upon Christian scriptures, are considered as narratives of spiritual quest. The relationship between the often controversial quests for re-defined forms of faith and the apparently precipitous ‘secularization’ and ‘de-Christianization’ of British society during the 1960s and 1970s is considered.
The thesis therefore analyses the ‘Rock Operas’ as significant, enlightening prisms through which to view many of the profound societal debates – over ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ in the widest senses, sexuality, the Vietnam war, generational conflict, drugs and ‘spiritual enlightenment’, and race – which were, to some considerable extent, elevated onto the national, political agenda by the activities of the broadly-defined ‘counter-culture’. It considers subsequent representations of the ‘counter-culture’ as the root of a contested but enduring popular legacy of ‘The Sixties' as a period of profound cultural change
Structuring Early Christian Memory: Jesus in Tradition, Performance, and Text
No full textSocial memory research has complicated the relationship between past and present as
that relationship finds expression in memorial acts (storytelling, music- and image-making, textproduction,
and so on). This relationship has emerged as a dialectic in which the phenomena
'past' and 'present' are mutually constitutive and implicating. The resultant 'messiness' directly
affects the procedures and products of 'historicaI Jesus' research, which has especially depended
upon the assumption that we can neatly and cleanly separate 'authentic' (past) from
'inauthentic' (present) traditions. This thesis establishes some problems that attend to this
assumption and attempts to establish a 'historical Jesus' programme that is more sensitive to the
entanglement of past and present. Social memory research has especially identified 'reputation' .
as a vehicle of this entanglement in the memory of specific historical persons. Therefore, Jesus'
reputation' plays a key analytic role in this project.
Another consequence of social memory research has been the emphatic insistence that
all memorial acts are culturally and socially conditioned; the meaning of 'memories', the
products of memorial act? emerges from the relationship of memorial acts and their social
contexts. One aspect of the gospels' social context that has been underappreciated in most New
Testament research is the contextualisation ofour written gospels within the vibrant and fluid
oral traditional milieux ofJesus and Israelite communities. This project examines and applies
the poetics of oral traditional narrative, including the textualisation of oral tradition, to our
written gospels.
The resultant theoretical perspective dramatically affects gospels and 'historical Jesus'
research. Since both these fields are too vast to encompass here, this project focuses its attention
on We appearance of Jesus' healing and exorcistic praxis in the sayings tradition. Afterwards, we
will suggest a few areas in which critics might fruitfully pursue future research in the gospels and
on tile historical Jesus

Produção familiar e cooperativismo na comunidade Sagrado Coração de Jesus - Paraná da Eva/Itacoatiara-AM
No full textA ocupação da área da pesquisa remonta a meados da década de 1950. A família do Senhor Galego, vinda do nordeste brasileiro se fixa na região em busca de uma vida melhor. Após morar no ambiente de várzea e enfrentar inúmeras enchentes/cheias, como a de 1953, a maior registrada até o presente momento, decidem migrar definitivamente para o Lago Bela Vista, nome dado pela família do Senhor Galego, que também denominou a comunidade de Bela Vista. Com a prática econômica do plantio de cana-de-açúcar para extrair o melado, o qual sempre foi produzido por meio de trabalho familiar, o então lago passa a ser chamado de Lago do Engenho. Em 1968 por influência da prelazia de Itacoatiara, a comunidade que era reconhecida por Bela Vista, cede lugar, a então Comunidade Sagrado Coração de Jesus. Por meio dos princípios comunitários nasce, em 1986, no interior da Comunidade Sagrado Coração de Jesus, o movimento de Pequenos Agricultores Familiares, os Lavradores em Ação, que tinha como base reunir as famílias dos associados em ações que trouxesse benefícios a todos. Em 1993, os Lavradores em Ação deixa de ser um movimento político e passa a ser a Associação de Desenvolvimento Comunitário dos Trabalhadores Rurais do Paraná da Eva (ASCOPE), legalmente constituída, com estatutos elaborados e registrada em cartório. A criação da associação trouxe profundas transformações na produção agrícola familiar da comunidade Sagrado Coração de Jesus do Paraná da Eva, pois possibilitou aos associados ter acesso as linhas de crédito disponíveis para a região, principalmente o Fundo Constitucional do Norte (FNO) e realizar inúmeros investimentos produtivos nas suas propriedades. A maior parte dos recursos oriundos dos empréstimos foram aplicados na produção do consórcio cupuaçu abacaxi. É diante desse contexto que esse projeto de pesquisa surge com a necessidade de compreender a produção familiar camponesa em comunidades do interior do Amazonas, especificamente a Comunidade Sagrado Coração Jesus-Paraná da Eva, município de Itacoatiara-AM.CNP
O RELATO DA INFÂNCIA DE JESUS SEGUNDO O EVANGELHO DE MATEUS
No full textOs relatos da infância de Jesus contidos no evangelho de Mateus, nos capítulos 1 e 2, refletem o plano teológico do autor sagrado, que situa Jesus de Nazaré, o Messias esperado, na história do povo de Israel, e, por conseguinte, na história da humanidade. O objetivo desta breve investigação bíblica e revisão bibliográfica é evidenciar os elementos centrais da infância do Nazareno como coordenadas necessárias para uma compreensão da historicidade dos acontecimentos frente à reflexão teológica, bem como da articulação entre os dados da fé e da história. A metodologia utilizada é a de uma leitura crítica da Bíblia com análise da bibliografia exegética sobre o tema. Esperamos com este método lançar uma luz sobre a leitura do texto com ênfase nos elementos históricos como forma de complementação à investigação cristológica. Acreditamos que a investigação da pessoa histórica de Jesus não contradiz sua qualidade de Cristo da fé, quando feita em respeito dos textos sagrados
