Abstract
Milton Schwantes proposes a new way of reading and interpreting the Bible, particularly the Old Testament. Leaving aside the traditional methods, he sees the Torah composed by four sets from literary books as belonging to different groups in Israeli society. Each of these sets hold lessons that reveal the theology of that community. This community uses it as an instrument of worship and deliverance. The main theme of this larger set, the Torah, is the formation of a just society and humanity that has ecumenical reference. The Torah was edited and canonized to educate people. As an example, the whole Exodus 1-15 convey lessons of encouragement for communities of farmers and herdsmen oppressed.
