O conceito de realeza de Temístio e Amiano Marcelino : o caso do imperador Valentiniano I

Abstract: In the context of Late Antiquity, we observe the ideals of Royalty of two authors who shared the political events between the governments of Constantius II to Theodosius (337-395 AD), namely: the philosopher Themistius (317-388 AD) with his political speeches; and the military Ammianus Marcellinus (325 / 330-395 AD) with his work Res Gestae. During our study, we will seek to observe the characteristics of each author, and converge their life experiences to meet the convergent and divergent points of its concepts around the Imperial responsibilities. In the meantime, we emphasize the interactions between Romans and barbarians, very noticeable at that time; and how this process of interaction of cultures has influenced the thinking of the late-ancient writers studied here. Observing how a philosopher and a military developed such ideals in relation to the ruler: Valentinian I (364-375 AD), for that we made a more specific analysis of VI Speech of Themistius - the Brotherly Love or About humanity - and the XVI - XXX Books of Ammianus Marcellinus. Thus, in a time of great cultural socio-political effervescence, two non-Christian writers have written their work, in order to re-member your audience the importance of the virtues and both based on examples from the classical tradition.

Jesucristo, plenitud de la revelación : el testimonio del Nuevo Testamento

Desde la perspectiva del Nuevo Testamento, el autor se propone un estudio que ayude a comprender y profundizar la enseñanza del Concilio Vaticano II acerca de “Jesucristo, plenitud de la revelación” (DV 2). La exposición se organiza en dos secciones relativas al Antiguo y al Nuevo Testamento: en el primero se presenta cómo Israel fue descubriendo en su historia el proyecto de Dios para sí y para la humanidad; en el segundo se trata sobre Jesús, el “lugar” donde el designio de Dios tuvo y tiene su plena realización. Para todos los discípulos, Jesucristo sigue siendo el camino hacia una vida plena (cf. DA 375).
