The article aims to compare the results of Israel's main political-religious reforms in the name of monotheism with the message of Joel. It describes the reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, and also the ethnic reform of Ezra and Nehemiah. Later, these reforms are compared with Joel's universalist and liberating message, stressing on the pericopes of Joel 3,1-5 and 4,4-8. Thus, this is mainly a bibliographical research. The result of this research shows that the institution of monotheism was ambiguous and it oscillated between oppression and humanization. While Ezra and Nehemiah's monarchist reform served to political and domination purposes, Joel's message contributed to more inclusive and liberating actions. ; O artigo tem por objetivo comparar os resultados entre as principais reformas políticoreligiosas em nome do monoteísmo em Israel com a mensagem de Joel. Descrever-se-á as reformas de Ezequias e Josias, e a reforma étnica de Esdras e Neemias. Na sequência, é apresentada a mensagem universalista e libertadora de Joel, com destaque para as perícopes de Joel 3,1-5 e 4,4-8, visando a comparação entre esta e aquelas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa essencialmente bibliográfica. O resultado evidencia que a instituição do monoteísmo foi ambígua, oscilando entre opressão e humanização. Enquanto as reformas monárquicas e de Esdras e Neemias serviram mais a objetivos políticos e de dominação, a mensagem de Joel contribuiu para ações mais inclusivas e libertadoras.

Feminists in Politics: A Panel Analysis of the First National Women's Conference provides a systematic study of the impact of the National Women's Conference held in Houston, Texas, in November 1977, on the participants. It traces the past political activities of the conference participants; what they actually did during the conference; the impact of the conference on their commitment to political action in the future; and their aspirations for holding elected office in American politics or in organizations associated with the feminist movement.
