RT Article T1 O templo como símbolo de poder: percepções sobre o segundo templo e relações com o processo político brasileiro JF Plura, revista de estudos de religião VO 14 IS 1 SP 111 OP 126 A1 Guedes, Mateus LA Portuguese PB ABHR YR 2023 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1850957355 AB This article proposes from a qualitative method, observing and describing how the second temple is built under social and religious aspects that allow it to be observed not only as a religious symbol, but also as a symbol of power, granting those who had a connection with it, aristocratic positions. From this perception we understand a relationship of this symbol with the aspects of current Brazilian politics, trying to observe how the figure of the temple itself, makes it intrinsically linked to brazilian political processes.
