University Press of America Matthew 12 and the Virginal Conception In Light
Book SynopsisMatthew 1-2 and the Virginal Conception examines early Palestinian and Hellenistic Jewish accounts of the birth of Israel's first redeemer, Moses. The author shows how these accounts provide the background of Mary's "virginal conception" of Jesus, Israel's final redeemer, in Matthew 1-2.Trade ReviewAs ever with Aus, there are always plenty of new things for the reader to learn, especially with his typically impressive array of rabbinic interpretations…Ultimately, there are few scholars who can match Aus's proficiency in both rabbinic sources and the NT texts, coupled with a genuinely critical attitude…Is it really worth the risk for historically and literary minded scholars to ignore Aus's profound expertise in such areas any longer? * Review of Biblical Literature *Perhaps the most systematic presentation available of all the possible connections between the [Matthean story and elements of haggadic midrash about the birth of Moses]. -- Wayne Meeks, Yale University * Review of Biblical Literature *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction: The Septuagint; Ezekiel the Tragedian; Jubilees; Philo; Pseudo-Philo; Josephus; The Midrashim Chapter 2 Flight to Egypt Because of Mortal Danger, and Return from there at the Death of the Persecutor Chapter 3 Astrologers' Announcement to the King of the Birth of Israel's Savior, and the King's Dread Chapter 4 Search for the Newborn Child in Order to Destroy It, Up to the Age of Two, and Jer 31:15: Searching For; Destroying/Killing the Future Deliverer; Children Two Years and Under in the Region of Bethlehem: Children Two Years and Younger; The "Region Chapter 5 Mary, Miriam and the Holy Spirit, and the Infants Jesus and Moses as Future Saviors: Mary and Miriam; The Holy Spirit and Mary/Miriam; Mary and Jochebed to Bear the Savior of Israel Chapter 6 The Marriages of Joseph and Mary, and Amram and Jochebed: Joseph and Amram: Taking a Wife; Divorcing One's Fiancée/Wife; Being Righteous; Divine Assurance to Joseph and Amram in a Dream; Taking One's Wife Back; Quietly; Apparent Illegitimacy; Chapter 7 Summary Chapter 8 Other Parallels to the Virginal Conception from the History of Religions; Judaic Allegations of Jesus' Illegitimacy; Haggadah and the Historicity of the Virginal Conception Chapter 9 An Ecumenical Epilogue Chapter 10 Sources and References Works Chapter 11 About the Author Chapter 12 Index of Modern Authors

University Press of America Daniels Spiel
Book SynopsisThe hostile regime that set out to annihilate the Jewish religion and culture forms the background of the Book of Daniel. Jin Hee Han''s book, Daniel''s Spiel: Apocalyptic Literacy in the Book of Daniel, identifies the main agenda behind the creation of the book of Daniel, explaining how Daniel promotes an alternative discourse in opposition to the Hellenistic regime in the second century B.C.E. The word Spiel in the title refers to Daniel''s strategy of using apocalyptic language to give the people hope, as he offered them a discourse of resistance meant to keep alive their anticipation of God''s inevitable triumph over the evil regime that tormented them. Author Jin Hee Han provides modern readers with useful insights into why the Book of Daniel was created and offers clues of how it might be interpreted today.Trade ReviewIn this important and groundbreaking book Jin Han expounds the significance of the social function of apocalyptic language as pedagogy for an oppressed people. He demonstrates the central place which the apocalyptic texts have in Second Temple Judaism as epistemological transforming texts, in which dreams of another world are crucial for maintaining hope, by forming an alternative outlook on the world. -- Christopher Rowland, Dean Ireland Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture, University of OxfordA brief summary of the main thrust of Han's work does not do justice to the sophistication and broad range of the interdisciplinary scholarship that Han brings to bear on his basic argument. * Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Spring 2009 *Han's book probes the complexities of Daniel and its larger apocalyptic environment with great acumen and presents his results in compelling fashion. Readers will find that reading and writing are topics of large significance in understanding apocalyptic. Both an introduction to apocalyptic and an exploration of Daniel as an example, this book is written in a "language" that opens up both subjects with clarity and depth. The result for the reader is a new literacy in things and language apocalyptic. The book is powerfully theological and in touch with the issues of contemporary life about how we may think and believe in situations of hopeless adversity. -- Patrick D.
