Did Paul think Christ was a pre-existent being?
Despite the scholarly consensus according to which, to the apostle Paul, Christ was a pre-existent being, that can hardly be considered the only possible interpretation of his thought. In this article, I propose a reading of six passages from his authentic letters in light of the hypothesis of adoptionist Christology. This work puts forward two considerations: on the one hand, arguing for an incarnation Christology imposes on the text a theology …

Hermogenes’ Progymnasmata: How Luke Transformed a Jewish Prophet into a Greek Hero
Relying on the historical-critical method, I propose an analysis of the nature of the Gospel of Luke and its possible dependency on Greek rhetorical conventions. Taking into account the highly literate nature of this Gospel, this paper puts forward the case that its author has been educated in the Greek rhetorical exercise of encomion, as documented in Hermogenes’ progymnasmata. Empowered by his knowledge of encomion, Luke probably used Mark as a…

Student perceptions of homework quality, autonomy support, effort, and math achievement: Testing models of reciprocal effects
Promoting Gypsy children's behavioural engagement and school success: Evidence from a four‐wave longitudinal study
Low schooling, high non‐attendance and school dropout rates are critical phenomena within disadvantaged groups, especially among the Gypsy community. For example, in the UK , 10%–25% of Gypsy children do not attend school regularly and have significantly higher levels of overall absence from school (percentage of half‐day sessions missed) than pupils from other ethnic groups. In Portugal, available data on Gypsy children is sparse, yet data from …
Studying while doing time: Understanding inmates’ conceptions of learning
Low levels of education and dropping out of school are associated with criminal involvement. The Portuguese prison system, similar to other prison systems (e.g. England), offers prison‐based educational programmes so inmates can complete compulsory education. However, the completion rate of these educational programmes is low, and the dropout rate is high. Deepening our understanding of how inmates conceptualise learning and how they engage in le…
