Abstract

SOTELO, Daniel Martins. The Torah and the Deuteronomic History: Revisions under persian influence in the socio-historical context of the post- exilic period. Post-Graduate Program Stricto sensu in Religious Studies Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás, 2010. The state of the question concerning the terminologies of the Tetrateuch, Pentateuch, Hexateuch and Enneateuch is revisited in this thesis. The social, political, religious, literary questions as well as the end of the persian empire are emphasized. One can verify that during this period the texts were reformulated due to Persian demands. It can be observed in this composition of texts that there were evident modifications and insertions from priestly and deuteronomist editions in the books of the Torah and the Former Prophets. The socio-historical context and the documentary sources of the Persian Period are analyzed in order to comprehend the reconstruction of the Torah texts and the Deuteronomic History. These revisions are discussed in terms of the North American model of the Canonical Approach, in terms of a Latin American reading of the Torah and Deuteronomic History, in terms of the Law in and beyond Torah. The reformulations of the writings of the Torah and Deuteronomic History are described and the reformulations of these texts in the Post-Exilic Period. The edition and the deuteronomist revisions in the writings of the Deuteronomic History that occurred due to the influence of the Law and the socio-historical context of this period as well as the later editions and the deuteronomist traditions in the narratives of Samuel and Kings are studied together with later editions and deuteronomist traditions of the Joshuah and Judges narratives.
