Salvação integral: uma análise sêmio-discursiva de Isaias 65.17-25

Abstract

This thesis examines the prophetic text of Isaiah 65.17-25 through a semiotic discursive analysis applied to biblical exegesis to demonstrate how this text characterizes the persons, time and space of salvation. It is shown that the salvation described in the text reflect the integration of the human being with God, with the social and life contexts, and it reflects the unity of the local and the cosmic realities. From the identification by form criticism of the literary unit as an oracle of salvation, this analysis seeks to contribute to the theological reflection of the concept of salvation of the Integral Mission movement in the context of the protestant evangelical theology of Latin America. The first chapter examines the history of interpretation of the text, starting with its use by the New Testament writers to the recent developments of biblical exegesis. The second chapter investigates several issues concerning the search for meaning in the hermeneutics, linguistics and exegetical studies. It also presents the theoretical and methodological references for the analysis. Following a semiotic discursive criteria for the analysis of a text, chapter three analyzes the expression of the text and, chapter four, the content.
