The Authenticity of I Peter
No full textThe book of I Peter, when compared to the rest of the New Testament corpus, has been a neglected book. Debate concerning its date, form, and authorship continues in New Testament scholarship. The focus of this study is the authorship of I Peter.
The internal evidence of the text as well as the external attestation of I Peter are examined for their bearing on the question of authorship. Analysis is made of the arguments used to support the authenticity of I Peter and those used to deny it.
The arguments examined to support the authenticity of I Peter include the following: 1) the document claims Petrine authorship; 2) the author claims to have been an eyewitness of Jesus\u27 sufferings; 3) the content of I Peter coincides with the speeches attributed to Peter in Acts; 4) certain phrases in I Peter seem to recall sayings of Jesus; 5) the reference to Mark in I Peter is consistent with the tradition of a close association between the apostle Peter and the Mark who wrote the second Gospel; 6) the testimony of the postapostolic writings are supportive of the genuiness [sic] of I Peter.
These arguments are found to be consistent with the book’s claim of authorship. Significantly, opponents’ response to these arguments produce no interpretations of the text or conclusions that would be inconsistent with Petrine authorship.
The arguments used to deny authenticity concern the nature of the persecutions referred to in the epistle and the excellent Greek exhibited by the author. It is maintained that the persecutions envisaged could not have occurred in Peter\u27s lifetime and that Peter would never have had the literary abilities necessary to write such good Greek.
These arguments do not bear up under scrutiny. The references to persecution in the text of I Peter reflect a situation similar to that found in Acts--Christians were under frequent suspicion and attack. Peter himself experienced such treatment. Further, the archeological evidence points to the widespread use of Greek at all levels of Palestinian Judaism during the first century. Peter\u27s ability in Greek might have been sufficient to produce I Peter. Even if this were not the case, some type of an amanuensis theory to explain the quality of the Greek is suggested by the text (5:12).
I Peter possesses internal consistency and strong external attestation. The life-situation of the recipients is historically similar to what could have occurred in Peter’s lifetime. Thus I Peter is an authentic epistle of the apostle Peter
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ

The multiplied author: in search of Peter Greenaway's artifices
No full textOrientador: Ivan Santo BarbosaTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ArtesResumo: O autor multiplicado: em busca dos artificios de Peter Greenaway Neste trabalho, centrado na obra cinematográfica de Peter Greenaway, investigo questões relativas à sua expressão autoral. Ao tratar da questão da autoria, levo em consideração o curso da obra e a conseqüente detecção de três fases de realização. Assim, sob o impulso do cinema experimental dos anos 60 e já esmaecido na década seguinte, Greenaway produzi14 dirigiu e montou, primeiramente, filmes não muito expressivos, mas, posteriormente, ganharia respaldo institucional para desenvolver projetos ousados na trilha de uma vanguarda tardia; os filmes realizados durante a década de oitenta testemunham um deslocamento abrupto de sua realização assumidamente experimental para o circuito de produção, distribuição e exibição do cinema de arte comercial. Finalmente, para análise do terceiro momento, exploro as relações entre o cinema, a televisão e as novas mídias, o que ID¿ fez retomar à década de 80, momento em que se verifica a exploração do meio por parte do diretor, dando prosseguimento, tal como nos primeiros filmes, ao ideal de resistência às formas dominantes da narrativa audiovisual. Em todo o trabalho, os filmes são analisados textual e contextualmente em suas feições culturais e históricas, direcionadas para decodificar uma explícita estética do artificio ensejada pela assinatura de Peter GreenawayAbstract: The multiplied author: in the search ofPeter Greenaway's artifices In this work, focused on Peter Greenaway's films, I investigate his authorial expression. Dealing with authorship, I took in account the films in their chronological development, to reveal, consequentIy, three realization phases. Thus, under the experimental cinema exploitation from the 60's and, then, faded in the following decade, he produced, directed and edited unexpressed films at first, but, later, he would have institutional sponsorship to develop audacious projects in a late avant-garde route. During the 80's, an abrupt displacement is testified in his films: Greenaway shifted from the experimental ghetto to the art cinema production, distribution and exhibi~ion circuit. Finally, to delimitate the last phase, I consider the relationship among film, television and new media; to accomplish this, a return to the 80's was necessary because Greenaway, since then, has been interacting to the medium, making use of a resistant approach to the dominant audiovisual forms, such as in the early films. In the whole work, the fihns are textually analyzed and a cultural and historical contextualization is envisaged, both aspects addressed to decode an explicit artificial aesthetic fonned under Peter Greenaway's signatureDoutoradoMultimeiosDoutor em Multimeio

Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work
