Inhalt: The Wisdom of Solomon 10 is a unique passage among Jewish sapiential texts since it both presents Lady Wisdom as God's acting agent in early Israelite history and explicitly categorizes key biblical figures as either righteous or unrighteous. Structurally, Wisdom 10 is a pivotal text that binds the two halves of the book together through its vocabulary and themes. Although chapter 10 is such a unique passage that is central to the work, no full-scale study of this chapter has been attempted. Recent scholarship on the Wisdom of Solomon has focused on the identification of genres in the book's subsections and the author's reinterpretation of Scripture.Through the use of historical and literary criticism, this study especially focuses on the genre and hermeneutical method of Wisdom 10 in comparison to other passages in the book and similar types of literature inside and outside the Bible. Chapter One establishes the purpose and methodology of the study, Chapter Two sets the literary and historical contexts for the Wisdom of Solomon, and Chapters Three to Six analyze the text poetically, form-critically, exegetically, and hermeneutically.This study concludes that Pseudo-Solomon, the book's author, composed and used Wisdom 10 in order to bind the two halves of the book together. Its genre is that of a Beispielreihe, or example list, and its form is an alternation of positive and negative examples that are linked by the repetition of a keyword. The passage also reflects elements of aretalogy, synkrisis, and midrash. Because of the first two of these elements, chapter 10 may be seen as supplementing the encomiastic genre in chapters 6-9. Furthermore, the aretalogical flavor of the text depicts Lady Wisdom in ways similar to the popular Hellenistic Egyptian goddess Isis in order to show Wisdom's superiority to the pagan deity. Lastly, chapter 10 exhibits six primary hermeneutical principles used by the author throughout the book, albeit with differing degrees of focus.Since the Wisdom of Solomon is a late composition, this study illuminates one facet of the Jewish Hellenistic reinterpretation of Scripture and will elucidate similar modes of exegesis in the early rabbinical and early Christian eras.

Serie: Praktische Theologie im Wissenschaftsdiskurs : Practical Theology in the Discourse of the Humanities , 10

Inhalt: Die Marktfähigkeit der Volkskirche, ihre Steigerung, Kritik und theologische Legitimität sind Gegenstand kirchlicher Diskurse seit den frühen 90er Jahren. Die vorliegende Studie behandelt nicht die Themen dieser mit hoher Intensität geführten Debatten, sondern die Art ihrer Diskursivierung und fragt, wie Plausibilität und Akzeptanz hergestellt werden. Michel Foucaults Konzept von Subjekt und Macht und dessen aktuelle Reformulierung in den Gouvernementalitätsstudien bilden Basis und Rahmen der Analyse, die die Veränderungsprozesse der Kirche als Generierung eines "unternehmerischen Selbst" rekonstruiert. Dabei bilden Debatten, wie sie im Deutschen Pfarrerblatt geführt wurden, Internetpräsentationen von Gemeinden und Kirchenkreisen und Techniken der Selbst- und Fremdführung die Grundlage der Untersuchung. Erkennbar wird, wie sich eine an ökonomischer Rationalität orientierte "Regierung des Selbst" bei Person und Organisation auf eine kirchlich spezifische und eigensinnige Weise durchsetzt und dabei widersprüchliche Effekte erzeugt. Den zeitgenössischen kirchlichen Diskursen wird in wissenschaftlicher Selbstaufklärung auf diese Weise ein fokussierter Spiegel vorgehalten.

Inhalt: The marketability of the popular church, its growth, criticism and theological legitimacy have been the subject of an ecclesiastical discourse since the early 1990s. This study not only deals with the subject matter itself, but also looks at how it is addressed in the discourse. Michel Foucault's concept of subject and power and its current reformulation in governmentality studies form the basis and framework of the analysis. In this way scholarly self-enlightenment provides a well-focussed mirror for the current ecclesiastic discourse.

Inhalt: Die Studie untersucht das literarische Phänomen, dass an entscheidenden Wegpunkten die Verheißungslinie "Israel" über den jüngeren Bruder und nicht über den sonst so bedeutenden Erstgeborenen fortgesetzt wird. Gleich zwölfmal erscheint dieses Vertauschungsmotiv in der Genesis und durchzieht sie vom Anfang bis zu ihrem Ende, findet hingegen faktisch keine Verwendung in anderen alttestamentlichen Texten. Die Formen und Kontexte dieser Vertauschungserzählungen werden vom Autor analysiert und die literarischen, theologischen und kanonischen Funktionen dieses Motivs herausgearbeitet. Die Lektüre der Erzählungen in ihren vorliegenden Kontexten lässt das Phänomen der Vertauschungen als ein schlüssig gestaltetes und stringent aufgebautes Erzählkonzept erscheinen, das im narrativen Zusammenhang lesbar ist: Es leistet eine Identifikationsbestimmung Israels, die dessen Sonderrolle unter den Völkern begründet, literarisch legitimiert und theologisch profiliert. Die Untersuchung bleibt dabei nicht bei der Synthese rein literaturwissenschaftlicher Arbeit stehen, sondern zieht die notwendigen Konsequenzen in realhistorischer Sicht, die für die Joseph-Juda-Erzählung den Konflikt zwischen Juda und Samaria im Hintergrund wahrscheinlich werden lassen.

Inhalt: This study explores the literary phenomenon that, at crucial crossroads, the line of promise of "Israel" is continued through the younger brother instead of the firstborn son, which is so important otherwise. This motif of subversion is limited to the book of Genesis, where it is used not less than twelve times. The analysis of forms, contexts and functions of this motif reveals a strictly constructed narrative concept. This construction enables an attribution of identity to Israel which justifies Israel's special role among other peoples, legitimizes it and shapes its profile theologically.

Serie: Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft , 425

Inhalt: Der Alttestamentler und Orientalist Karl Heinrich Graf (1815-1869) hat, obwohl ihm zeit seines Lebens ein akademisches Amt versagt blieb, durch seine bahnbrechenden Studien zur Pentateuchkritik im 19. Jahrhundert wesentlich zur Etablierung der mit Julius Wellhausen verbundenen "Neueren Urkundenhypothese" beigetragen. Von seinem Lehrer Eduard Reuß in Straßburg angeregt, hat er der bis heute unangefochtenen Spätdatierung der priesterlichen Gesetze im Pentateuch zum Durchbruch verholfen und damit den Grund für ein neues Bild von der altisraelitischen Kultgeschichte gelegt. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit, die auf eine Leipziger Habilitationsschrift des Verfassers aus dem Jahr 1970 zurückgeht, wird das wissenschaftliche Werk Grafs zum Alten Testament im Kontext seiner teils tragischen Biographie dargestellt und forschungsgeschichtlich gewürdigt. Der Herausgeber zieht in seiner Einleitung die Linie bis zur Gegenwart und fragt nach der heutigen Bedeutung der Graf'schen Erkenntnisse.

Inhalt: Through his groundbreaking studies on Pentateuchal criticism, Karl Heinrich Graf (1815-1869), Old Testament scholar and Orientalist, made a major contribution to research on the origin of the Pentateuch and on the reconstruction of the history of religion in ancient Israel. Despite his importance as a 19th century scholar, Graf never held a chair at a German university. This book describes and recognizes Graf's Old Testament scholarship, placing it into the context of his biography and within the history of research.

Serie: Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Studies , 10

Inhalt: Apart from Genesis, Tobit contains more information about marriage than any other biblical book. It reflects third-century beliefs and customs yet also serves a didactic function, teaching Diaspora Jews what they should value in their own marriages. This monograph elucidates these elements by asking four questions: 1) Whom should one marry? 2) How does one get married? 3) What role does God play in marriage? 4) What do actual marriages look like? By contextualizing Tobit in light of the Old Testament and relevant Ancient Near Eastern texts, one can appreciate the book's unique claims. Endogamy is defined more narrowly than in other Old Testament texts as Israelites are now enjoined to marry close relatives. Monetary matters such as the payment of the bride-price are downplayed, while adherence to the Mosaic Law is emphasized in the marriage contract and the wedding ceremony. Furthermore, intertextual links with Genesis 24 cast Tobiah and Sarah as founders of a "new Israel", showing that God becomes involved in their marriage so that the nation of Israel will not die out. Finally, the author's portrayal of three married couples in the book reveals much about gender roles and also creates a realistic portrait of the marital relationship in terms of communication, cooperation, and conflict.

Inhalt: After a survey of recent approaches to the study of Paul's use of Scripture, the four main chapters explore the use of Isa. 54:1 in Gal. 4:27, the catena of scriptural texts in 2 Cor. 6:16-18, Hos. 1:10 and 2:23 in Rom. 9:25-26 and Isa. 57:19 in Eph. 2:17.In each case, the ancienwriter seeks to place the letter in its historical context and rhetorical situation, identify the significance of any conflations or modifications that have taken place in the citation process, analyse the citation's function within its immediate context, compare its use by Paul with the various ways in which the text is interpreted and appropriated by other Second Temple writers, and evaluate the main proposals offered as explanations for the riddle posed by the citation. That done, he offers his own account of the hermeneutic at work, based on an analysis of the explicit and implicit hermeneutical pointers through which the letter guides its readers in their appropriation of Scripture.This book compares the hermeneutical approaches of the four letters and draws conclusionsconcerning the interplay of continuity and discontinuity between Scripture and gospel in Paul's letters and the relationship between grace and Gentile inclusion in his theology.

Inhalt: Old Testament texts frequently offer a theological view of history. This is very evident in the Books of Chronicles and in the final section of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus). Today there is renewed interest in both these works as significant theological and cultural Jewish documents from the centuries before Jesus. Both Chronicles and Ben Sira aim to recreate a national identity centered on temple piety. Some chapters in this volume consider the portrayal of Israelite kings like David, Hezekiah, and Josiah, while others deal with prophets like Samuel and Elijah.

Inhalt: The Books of Chronicles and Ben Sira 44-50 both rewrite previous biblical history in different ways. While the postexilic Books of Chronicles rewrite earlier narratives from Samuel and Kings, Ben Sira's Praise of the Ancestors offers a new presentation of biblical history from the Genesis patriarchs to Nehemiah, prior to the praise of the high priest Simon. Whereas older scholarship regarded the historiography of Chronicles and Ben Sira as secondary and derivative, today there is renewed interest in these works as significant theological and cultural documents. Both Chronicles and Ben Sira present a theological message that involves the creation of a national identity centered on temple piety. The essays in this volume investigate how both works rewrite their source materials on particular biblical characters and themes. Some chapters consider the portrayal of kings like David, Rehoboam, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Josiah, and Zedekiah. Other chapters deal with prophets like Samuel and Elijah, while further essays offer perspectives on Ben Sira's Praise of the Ancestors as a whole. This Festschrift honors Professor Pancratius C. Beentjes, who has made a significant contribution to scholarly research into the Books of Chronicles and Ben Sira.

Inhalt: The volume On Stone and Scroll addresses biblical exegesis from the historical, archaeological, theological, and linguistic perspectives, and discusses many of the issues central to the interpretation of the Bible. It is written by colleagues and former students of Graham Davies in his honour on his retirement. It covers three main areas central to his work: inscriptional and archaeological, including socio-historical, studies; theological and exegetical studies, especially of Exodus and the Prophets; and semantic studies. A lasting focus of Graham's work has been the combination of sources that he has utilised in the interpretation of the biblical text. His approach has been distinctive in biblical studies in his combining of archaeological, inscriptional, linguistic and theological evidence for a deeper understanding of text. His work has ranged from archaeological studies, through an edition of Hebrew inscriptions, contributions to Hebrew semantics and biblical theology, to exegesis of the Pentateuch and Prophets. The essays in this volume reflect that broad view of Old Testament study.

Inhalt: This work is of importance to anyone with an interest in whether women, especially Jewish Ashkenazic women, had a Renaissance. It details the participation in the Querelle des Femmes and Power of Women topos as expressed in this hagiographic work on the lives of biblical women including the apocryphal Judith. The Power of Women topos is discussed in the context of the reception of the Amazon myth in Jewish literature and the domestication of powerful female figures. In the Querelle our author pleads with husbands for generosity and respect for their wives' piety. Whether women living in the Renaissance experienced a renaissance is a debate raging since Joan Kelly raised the possibility that this historic phenomenon essentially did not affect women. The question is raised with reference to the women depicted in Many Pious Women. These topics find their expression in a richly annotated translation with extensive introductory essays of a unique 16th-century manuscript in Western Yiddish (Judeo-German) written in Italy. The text will also be useful to scholars of the history of Yiddish and theorists of its development. Women everywhere, gender and Renaissance scholars, Yiddishists and linguists will all welcome this work now available for the very first time in the original text with an English translation.

Inhalt: "An End to Enmity" casts light upon the shadowy figure of the "wrongdoer" of Second Corinthians by exploring the social and rhetorical conventions that governed friendship, enmity and reconciliation in the Greco-Roman world. The book puts forward a novel hypothesis regarding the identity of the "wrongdoer" and the nature of his offence against Paul. Drawing upon the prosopographic data of Paul's Corinthian epistles and the epigraphic and archaeological record of Roman Corinth, the author shapes a robust image of the kind of individual who did Paul "wrong" and caused "pain" to both Paul and the Corinthians. The concluding chapter reconstructs the history of Paul's relationship with an influential convert to Christianity at Corinth.
