RESUMO
How should a culture or a lost community in biblical times be studied? This is a compelling issue for the author. This is how his interest in discussing the possibility of the use of the cosmogonic myth for the understanding of the community of the captives in Babylon appeared. An initiative which needed to be tracked by researchers who could be available for the study of the cultures of the biblical world. The topic the cosmogonic myth in the First Testament as an instrument to deepen the biblical research was thus elected. The myth is kind of an obvious choice for its capacity of functioning as a paradigm, pragmatic and traditive counter hegemonic within a social interethnic context. These were ponderings which came from the matrices such as those from the phenomenologist Mircea Eliade, from de Anthropologist Roger Bastide and from the theologist and phenomenologist José Severino Croatto. This is the reason why a parallel is traced between the myth of Marduk and the text of Isaiah 51,9-11 which talks about Javé as the creator of the world and the one who fights against forces of the chaos. This is done at the sight of the perception of the prophecy of Isaiah from exile, as a relative and its juxtaposition with the Babylonian mythology, and both approach enough in a syntagmatic and historical social way. Yet it had to be clarified, if the prophecy of the Deutero Isaiah acted in the same way as the poem Enuma elish worked for the Babylonians. This means that social patterns were caused to appear to the slaves communities inside the Neo Babylonian empire; in these chants, the captives managed to build an orderliness for their communities which enjoyed a certain autonomy such as colonies and ghettos; if owning this daring prophecy, the Jews of the golah were able to elaborate a civil disobedience in terms of nourishing in the hearts, an Utopia which would break up with the status quo of the past, committing them with the hope in Javé the Creator(AU)
