Notions of Time in Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature

Stefan Beyerle, Matthew Goff

Band 2020/2021 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

A comprehensive investigation of notions of "time" in deuterocanonical and cognate literature, from the ancient Jewish up to the early Christian eras, requires further scholarship. The aim of this collection of articles is to contribute to a better understanding of "time" in deuterocanonical literature and pseudepigrapha, especially in Second Temple Judaism, and to provide criteria for concepts of time in wisdom literature, apocalypticism, Jewish and early Christian historiography and in Rabbinic religiosity.
Essays in this volume, representing the proceedings of a conference of the "International Society for the Study of Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature" in July 2019 at Greifswald, discuss concepts and terminologies of "time", stemming from novellas like the book of Tobit, from exhortations for the wise like Ben Sira, from an apocalyptic time table in 4 Ezra, the book of Giants or Daniel, and early Christian and Rabbinic compositions. The volume consists of four chapters that represent different approaches or hermeneutics of "time:" I. Axial Ages: The Construction of Time as "History", II. The Construction of Time: Particular Reifications, III. Terms of Time and Space, IV. The Construction of Apocalyptic Time. Scholars and students of ancient Jewish and Christian religious history will find in this volume orientation with regard to an important but multifaceted and sometimes disparate topic.

Cosmos and Creation

Second Temple Perspectives

Michael W. Duggan, Renate Egger-Wenzel, Stefan C. Reif

Band 2019 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

This volume contains essays by some of the leading scholars in the study of the Jewish religious ideas in the Second Temple period, that led up to the development of early forms of Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity. Close attention is paid to the cosmological ideas to be found in the Ancient Near East and in the Hebrew Bible and to the manner in which the translators of the Hebrew Bible into Greek reflected the creativity with which Judaism engaged Hellenistic ideas about the cosmos and the creation. The concepts of heaven and divine power, human mortality, the forces of nature, combat myths, and the philosophy of wisdom, as they occur in 2 Maccabees, Ben Sira, Wisdom of Solomon and Tobit, are carefully analysed and compared with Greek and Roman world-views. There are also critical examinations of Dead Sea scroll texts, early Jewish prayers and Hebrew liturgical poetry and how they these adopt, adapt and alter earlier ideas. The editors have included appreciations of two major figures who played important roles in the study of the Second Temple period and in the history and development of the ISDCL, namely, Otto Kaiser and Alexander Di Lella, who died recently and are greatly missed by those in the field.

Discovering, Deciphering and Dissenting

Ben Sira Manuscripts after 120 years

James K. Aitken, Renate Egger-Wenzel, Stefan C. Reif

Band 2018 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

The discovery of Hebrew manuscripts of Ben Sira in the Cairo Genizah has shaped and transformed the interpretation of the book. It is argued here that a proper appreciation of the manuscripts themselves is also essential for understanding this ancient work.
Since their discovery 120 years ago and subsequent identification of leaves, attention has been directed to the interpretation of the ancient book, the Wisdom of Ben Sira. Serious consideration should also be given to the Hebrew manuscripts themselves and their particular contributions to understanding the language and transmission of the book. The surprising appearance of a work that was preserved by Christians and denounced by some Rabbis raises questions over the preservation of the book. At the same time, diversity among the manuscripts means that exegesis has to be built on an appreciation of the individual manuscripts. The contributors examine the manuscripts in this light, examining their discovery, the codicology and reception of the manuscripts within rabbinic and medieval Judaism, and the light they throw on the Hebrew language and poetic techniques.
The book is essential reading for those working on Ben Sira, the reception of the deuterocanon, and Medieval Hebrew manuscripts.

Various Aspects of Worship in Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature

Géza G. Xeravits, József Zsengellér, Ibolya Balla

Band 2016/17 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

The volume contains papers read at the International Conference of the ISDCL, held in Budapest in 2015. The contributors explore various aspects of worship as reflected in the literature of Judaism from the Second Temple period to Late Antiquity. The volume provides a fresh reading of various crucial issues especially within Old Testament Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, Rabbinic literature, Gnostic traditions, and the emerging synagogue. The papers analyse texts and artefacts that reveal how various groups of Judaism understood the concept of worship—a pre-eminent form of expressing religious identity and interpreting fundamental traditions.

The Metaphorical Use of Language in Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature

Markus Witte, Sven Behnke

Band 2014/15 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

Metaphern stellen sprachlich einen wesentlichen Bestandteil religiöser Rede und Literatur dar und sind kulturell ein entscheidender Indikator für das Selbst- und Weltverständnis der sie gebrauchenden Träger- und Adressatenkreise. In Metaphern spiegeln sich Gottes-, Menschen- und Weltbilder. Gleichzeitig prägen Metaphern mittels ihrer je eigenen Kontexte, die sie bei der Übertragung einbringen, die Rede von Gott und vom Menschen, sie zwingen ihre Adressaten aufgrund ihrer Bildhaftigkeit und ihrer symbolimmanenten Mehrdeutigkeit zu interpretatorischer Mitarbeit, sie verändern die Wirklichkeitswahrnehmung und setzen damit auch gezielt Handlungen frei. Die in diesem Band gesammelten Aufsätze analysieren den Gebrauch, die Funktion und die Struktur von Metaphern in ausgewählten jüdischen Schriften aus hellenistisch-römischer Zeit, einschließlich der Werke Philos und der Texte aus Qumran, sowie in apokryphen frühchristlichen Texten und Inschriften.

Emotions from Ben Sira to Paul

Band 2011 in dieser Reihe

Although our human emotions greatly influence our lives, there have been few studies of emotions in biblical texts. Hence the 2010 meeting of the International Society for the Study of Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature in Salzburg (Austria) was devoted to the topic of “Emotions, Feelings, and Affects within Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature”. This pioneering volume arising from the conference includes medical, musical, philosophical, historical, archaeological, literary, and theological studies of emotions, with a major focus on biblical and related texts.

Visions of Peace and Tales of War

Jan Liesen, Pancratius Cornelis Beentjes

Band 2010 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

In biblical as well as in non-biblical texts war is a widespread theme often embedded in a narrative framework. In this volume that contains the proceedings of a conference in Kerkrade (Netherlands) in July 2009, a whole series of war narratives has been analyzed, such as 1 Maccabees, Ben Sira, the Book of Judith, the Book of Chronicles, Esther. Special attention is paid to the Scrolls of War from Qumran, to the concepts of Holy War and Divine Warrior, to Josephus and to war and peace in the Book of Psalms.
Visions of peace are discussed in contributions that give attention to the Idea of Peace in Antiquity, to peace in Jewish Prayer, to the collocation ‛covenant of peace’, as well as to specific passages in the books of Micha and Isaiah, and in the Gospel of Matthew.

What Makes a People?

Early Jewish Ideas of Peoplehood and Their Evolving Impact

Dionisio Candido, Renate Egger-Wenzel, Stefan C. Reif

Band 2022/2023 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

This set of varied and stimulating papers, by an international group of younger as well as senior scholars, examines the manner in which peoplehood was understood by the Jewish communities of the Second Temple period and by the religious traditions that emerged from those communities and later flourished in Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. The Hebrew and Greek terms for "people" and "nation" and the name "Israel" are closely analyzed, especially in forays into wisdom literature, Jewish apologetic and the Dead Sea Scrolls, and their uses are related to geographical, political and theological developments, as well as statehood, authority and rulership in the Persian world, Hasmonean times and Ptolemaic Egypt. Especially interesting are the carefully argued and documented suggestions about how Jewish peoplehood expressed itself with regard to charitable behavior, pagan deities, and marital regulations. Those interested in the history of cultural and theological tensions will be intrigued by the studies centered on how the opponents of Jews behaved towards "the people of God", how Hellenistic Jewish culture located the Jews on the Roman rather than on the Greek side, and how early Christian discourse saw the mission among the peoples and interpreted earlier sources accordingly. The idea of the Jewish "way of life" is seen to have influenced the writer of the longer Greek version of Esther and works of fiction are shown to have had important historical data within them. Modern social theory also has its say here in a careful consideration of Cognitive theory of ethnicity and the dynamic of ethnic boundary-making.
