RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Uma Exegese do Capital JF Luso-Brazilian Review JO Luso-Braz Rev FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 59 OP 65 DO 10.3368/lbr.40.1.59 VO 40 IS 1 A1 Pécora, Alcir A1 Cohen, Thomas A1 Schwartz, Stuart B. YR 2003 UL http://lbr.uwpress.org/content/40/1/59.abstract AB This article attempts a reading of the condemned writings of the Portuguese Jesuit Antonio Vieira (1608–1697) in terms of the decisive role of Jewish capital in the preservation of the Portuguese monarchy. It views Vieira’s texts as an example of the political and theological thought of the time rather than as a manifestation of any avant la lettre bourgeois consciousness.
