Resumo: The purpose of the present article is twofold. (1) It analyzes Stephen’s speech, a controversial New Testament passage in the book of Acts chapter 7. In it, Stephen, a Hellenist Christian Jew, criticizes the Jerusalem temple arguing that “the Most High does not dwell in houses made with human hands (cheiropoietois)” (Acts 7:48). Calling the temple a cheiropoietos was considered blasphemy once prior to the New Testament that term was only used for idols/false gods in the Hebrew Bible. (2) As Stephen’s speech seems to recover historical material, the article, then, examines Hellenistic Jewish texts written around 1st century BCE and 1st century CE which present negative references to the Jerusalem Temple in order to reconstruct a plausible Hellenistic Jewish background for Acts 7:48.

(1) Ele busca analisar o discurso de Estevão, uma passagem controversa no capítulo 7 do livro neotestamentário Atos dos Apóstolos. Nele, Estevão, um judeu cristão helenista, critica o templo de Jerusalém ao argumentar que “o Altíssimo não habita em obras de mãos humanas (cheiropoietos)” (At. 7:48). O uso do termo pejorativo cheiropoietos para designar o templo judaico constituía uma blasfêmia na medida em que, no período anterior à produção dos textos do Novo Testamento, este termo fora usado na Bíblia hebraica somente para templos e estátuas de divindades politeístas, os chamados ‘ídolos’. (2) Uma vez que o discurso de Estevão parece recuperar certo material histórico, o artigo, então, examina textos judaico-helenísticos escritos entre o século I a.C. e o século I d.C. e que apresentam menções negativas ao Templo de Jerusalém de forma a situar historicamente a crítica de Estevão em Atos 7:48.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2017-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionHistorical researchPesquisa históricaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/3160610.5433/1984-3356.2017v10n20p1063Antíteses; Vol. 10 No. 20 (2017): Dossie - Cultura Intelectual e Cultura Material (séculos XVII-XIX); 1063-1080Antíteses; v. 10 n. 20 (2017): Dossie - Cultura Intelectual e Cultura Material (séculos XVII-XIX); 1063-10801984-3356reponame:Antítesesinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELenghttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/31606/23141Copyright (c) 2017 Antítesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSelvatici, Monica2021-08-26T13:26:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/31606Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antitesesPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/oaiantiteses@uel.br||1984-33561984-3356opendoar:2021-08-26T13:26:23Antíteses - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
