História e religião na análise weberiana sobre o “povo de Israel” como um “povo pária”

Abstract

In order to better evaluate the weberian concept of "Pariah People", is used throughout this dissertation, the selection and analysis of a set of "Laws", called Pentateuch, which were created in the first place, by Deuteronomist’s, as well as a general characterization of the geopolitical area of Palestine/Canaan and the various groups that, according to several scholars, in their analysis, probably contributed to constitute the biblical "People of Israel". Based on these theoretical assumptions that also assess the codification process of the Old Testament and thus better understand how and why the laws of segregationist slant exposed in veterotestament narratives proposed to constitue barriers that would separate the Jews from neighboring peoples with the aim of ensuring the vitality of religion of "People of Israel" in an era characterized by socio-political turbulence and major changes, such as those experienced in the pre-exilic, in Babylonian exilic and return to the Promised Land (afterexilic).
