Doutrina milenarista a esperança escatológica cristã no século II

Abstract

The respective thesis presents a broad bibliographical research, which indicates, organizes and links the eschatological-millennialist development based on a historical, biblical and systematic investigation, from its primitive Jewish matrix, to its final sectoral stage with Christianity in the 2nd Century. , seeking from this, to establish as a thesis the existence of ancient Christian belief as a catechetical doctrine, exercised universally, until the end of the identified period. The research also ends up redefining some aspects congruent with the central theme, which were historically incorrectly established through systematic research. Among these is the substantial shift between Jewish and Christian millennialism. From this theme, a broad context begins to be described through a hybrid methodology, which initially presents the historical development regarding the ancient phenomenon from the Jewish movement of the 7th Century BC, to the Christian doctrine of the period highlighted; subsequently, he begins to discuss and comment on the great scriptural and literary relationship that endorse the eschatological predictions about the Millennium; continues examining the potential area that makes their case relationship viable: the systematization of the Parents (Justino, Irenaeus and Tertuliano), who, in an argumentative way, are elevated to a dogmatic perspective; Finally, in an interdisciplinary action, the concept of universality of the ancient doctrine gains shape, projection and viability based on its location and scope in time and in the social environment that has stabilized. In this way, the concept of universality of the ancient doctrine developed alongside Christian practice, considered proto-orthodox, in the final context of the 2nd Century
