Abstract:
The Christian eschatological tradition finds its roots in ancient judeo-helenist conceptions of prophetic perspectives. The notion of the final day as the judgment of God on the life of the inhabited world is one of the characteristics of this religious conception, with the Christian faith being markedly influenced by this biblical theological point of view, considering the history of inclusivity present in the organization of the communities of primitive Christianity, albeit the presence of intermittent periods of identitarian exclusivisms occurring throughout the history of the Christian Church.
It is within this understanding that this Final Paper of the Professional Master s Program seeks to analyze the Petrine discourse of Acts 2.14-21, which establishes its textuality within an intertextuality that is present in the linguistic context of the apostle s contemporary world, trying to identify the relevant sources of support for a theological actualization which takes into account the inclusivist elements present in the Joeline prophetic tradition and in the community practices.
The work is structured in three chapters. The first deals with the concept of intertextuality, its origin, its main defenders, the different aspects and levels of intertextuality and its use in the field of theology. In the second chapter, an analysis is made of the texts of Joel and the Acts of the Apostles, based on the interlinear translation of the text from the original language to our vernacular language, its historical contextualization and dealing with key terms and themes. Finally, the marks of intertextuality will be visualized in both texts and the importance of the pouring of the Spirit and the empowerment phenomenon and its importance for an inclusive church will be dealt with.
