Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Imperial Visions: The Prophet and the Book of
Book SynopsisIn recent years, an interest in empire(s) has emerged in Assyriology, Old Testament/Hebrew Bible Studies and in other areas of the study of the ancient world. Collaborative research projects are devoted to questions of empire and imperialism, and the prophets of Israel and Judah and the books named after them are explored as agents in the contexts of the empires of their times. To some degree, all of this may be seen as a revival of the intense interest which the works of Oswald Spengler, Arnold Toynbee and Karl Wittfogel generated in the twentieth century, in historical situations very different from our own age. But then we too live in an age of transition characterized by insecurity and a lack of orientation and are driven to study the rise and fall of empires through the ages. The present volume, containing essays which are the fruits of the fifth meeting of the Aberdeen Prophecy Network, at the Lichtenberg-Kolleg of the University of Gottingen in October 2015, provides a distinctive perspective on prophecy in the context of empire. It is inspired by the fact that the book of Isaiah enables us to follow the vagaries of a particular prophetic tradition through five centuries under three different empires. The essays in the present volume focus on the history of composition of the constituent parts of the book of Isaiah as well as their correlations with the political and cultural histories of the empires under which they were produced. The volume thus navigates some of the key points of the history of Isaiah and the book named after him.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Impertinenz Jakobs: Eine relecture der
Book SynopsisPaul Ricoeur's reception in Old Testament biblical studies is eclectic to this day. Martina Weingärtner sets a counterpoint to this and works out the application of his hermeneutics in dialogue with Old Testament exegesis. The achievement of the synthesis consists in bundling the reflections of Ricur and translating them into a methodology of text comprehension that recognizes the proprium of biblical texts. The analysis (explanation) of the episode of the lentil dish (Gen 25.29-34) forms the starting point of the study. In a constructive expansion of historical-critical methodology, the interpretation (understanding) aims to perceive this narrative as a meaningful story and its existential function. In this way, the author can present new findings compared to previous exegeses, which refrain from an Esau concentration and its negative assessment. Reading the sales episode as a guilty tale opens up a deeper theological interpretation of a text that has been neglected in this regard.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Text History of the Greek Ecclesiastes:
Book SynopsisPeter J. Gentry provides a complete and full introduction to the critical edition of Ecclesiastes in the Göttingen Septuaginta series along with user-friendly explanations for non-specialists as well as detailed documentation to demonstrate the basis for the critical text of Greek Ecclesiastes. Text History volumes supporting the critical editions in the Göttingen Septuaginta usually provide evidence and lists to document and demonstrate the recensions existing in the textual history and the best methodology for arriving at the earliest form of the text that we can reach. Gentrys Text History volume provides, in addition, a complete and full introduction which was not given in the critical edition. Since this introduction is in English, it will aid English-speaking scholars who find access to the critical editions difficult because the introductions are in German.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Zwischen Mensch und Gott: Psalm 45 und die
Book SynopsisText in German. Psalm 45 unfolds the basics of the Judaic theology of domination and reflects in a special way the conditions at the royal court with the communication structures and ceremonies customary there. At its center is the king, whose role and office is determined by military and juridical functions and thus encompasses the external and internal dimensions of rulership. As a minister, not as a person, he is placed between man and God, shares divine qualities and can therefore also be called God. At the side of the king, as the female part of the monarchy, is the queen, who also has a special role, as she stands between the king and the people and plays a key role in maintaining the dynasty. Peter Riede works out the compositional, motif and traditional historical connections of the psalm and makes them fruitful for a reconstruction of court and palace life in Judah. This shows that the pictorial constellations that characterize the Psalm are part of a cross-cultural repertoire that can also be found in pictorial art.

Book SynopsisThis book is the result of a study analyzing the meaning and role of the ????? terms frequently used in Romans. Seo-Jun Kim shows that Paul's terminology does not fit within the framework of a theological category, but rather has a wide variety of referential meanings and plays a variety of roles in the respective context. Existing studies have mainly focused on the interpretation of the phrase ?????????? ????, arguing that it refers to God's gift (R. Bultmann), God's saving power (E. Käsemann, P. Stuhlmacher), or God's covenant faithfulness (J. D. G. Dunn, N. T. Wright ) trade. This study exhaustively and fundamentally examines all ????? terms in Romans in their respective contexts and illuminates them in correlation to the appropriate reference texts. In addition, the traditional-historical relationships of Paul's ????? terminology, with regard to their conceptual and linguistic similarity to the Old Testament and Jewish literature, are explained in detail in every exegetical analysis. Thus, this book provides a precise categorization of the referential semantics of ????? terms. The reader should be able to better understand the various lines of argument in Romans with a view to this key concept.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Das agyptische Hallel: Eine Untersuchung zu
Book SynopsisThe starting point for Judith Gärtner's study is the observation that the psalm group of the Egyptian Hallel (Ps 113-118) was already perceived as a literary unit in ancient times and is still recited today, especially on the Seder evening of the Jewish Passover festival. Against this background, the study aims to raise the common theological themes of the Psalms group and to ask how the Psalms group came into being in terms of literary history. Central is the question of YHWH as the only powerful God, which is conceptually differently nuanced in the respective Psalms and developed both historically and anthropologically. Gärtner can show that in the dynamic of the sequential reading from Ps 113 to Ps 118 a differentiated monotheistic confession arises, so that the Egyptian Hallel can be described as a small compendium of late Psalm theology.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG The Legacy of Soisalon-Soininen: Towards a Syntax
Book SynopsisIlmari Soisalon-Soininen (19172002) was a Finnish Septuagint scholar and the father of the translation-technical method in studying the nature of translations. The present volume upholds his work with studies related to the syntax of the Septuagint. It is impossible to describe the syntax of the Septuagint without researching the translation technique employed by the translators of the different biblical books; the characteristics of both the Hebrew and Greek languages need to be taken into consideration. The topics in this volume include translation-technical methodology; case studies concerning the use of the definite article, preverbs, segmentation, the middle voice, and the translations of Hebrew stems in the Pentateuch; selected syntactical features in Isaiah and Jeremiah; the connection between the study of syntax and textual criticism, especially in Judges; and lexical distinction between near-synonymous words. The volume concludes with six articles by Soisalon-Soininen, originally written in German and translated into English. These studies pertain to the use of the genitive absolute, renderings of the Hebrew construct state and the personal pronoun, interchangeability of prepositions, segmentation, and Hebraisms. These articles have lasting value as analyses of significant translation-syntactic phenomena and, together with Soisalon-Soininens monographs, they crystallize his translation-technical method. The volume paves way to a description of the syntax of the Septuagint that does justice to its nature as a translation.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Wie die Verwundeten ? derer du nicht mehr
Book SynopsisThis study is the first to present a monograph on psalm exegesis from the perspective of interdisciplinary trauma research. The work reveals how traumatic events have affected the narrative-aesthetic form of representation of the psalms. With the help of classical-philological, literary and psychological approaches, a phenomenology of literary handling of traumatic experiences is shown in the individual psalms. The trauma research serves to develop the texts in two ways: on the one hand for their ancient origins, which processes collective and individual experiences of violence, and on the other hand for the analysis of the processes of appropriation of the texts in terms of reception aesthetics. The work provides important insights into the central themes of psalm research: the hermeneutics of violence, dealing with suffering, the image of God, the role of lamentation, anthropology. In addition, it also gives impulses for the current social discourse of collective memory and for exploring narrative-poetic strategies for coping with trauma.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Das erinnerte Heiligtum: Tradition und Geschichte
Book SynopsisThe place Schilo comes across in texts of different stripes within the Old Testament. With today's Khirbet Sailūn the location is also of archaeological interest. The present study takes up both the archaeological and exegetical perspectives on Schilo and correlates them with one another. In the course of the text analysis, Ann-Kathrin Knittel works out the development and enrichment of the picture within the Old Testament and the connective function of the sanctuary for the construction of the history of Israel. It can show that the Jewish tradition, according to which Schilo was the most important predecessor of Jerusalem, was not only initiated by the design of the individual texts, but that Schilo's literary success story gradually builds up precisely this picture.

Book SynopsisDie Arbeit untersucht den Einfluss der Tora auf die Chronikbücher in einer zweifachen Perspektive. Im ersten Hauptteil der Arbeit werden alle Referenzstellen des Begriffs to^ra¯h auf ihre Bedeutung und ihren Verwendungszusammenhang hin analysiert. Im zweiten Hauptteil der Arbeit wird anhand von fünf synoptischen Studien zum Kult-Personal (1Chr 5,27-6,38), zum Kult-Gegenstand der Bundeslade (1Chr 13-16) zum Kult-Ort (1Chr 21) zum Kult-Kalender (2Chr 5-7) sowie zur Kult-Handlung (2Chr 26) der Nachweis geführt, dass die Tora nicht nur begrifflich zitiert wird, sondern sich auch integral auf die Textkonstitution der Chronik auswirkt. Im Gespräch mit der rezenten Pentateuch-Forschung bestätigt sich die Annahme, dass zwischen den späten Texten des Pentateuchs und den Texten der Chronikbücher enge Verbindungen bestehen und die Schriftgelehrten zur selben Epoche gehören. Die Chronik ist demnach eine Reformulierung der Geschichte des judäischen Königtums aus dem Geiste der Tora.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Singing and Suffering with the Servant: Second Isaiah as Guide for Preaching the Old Testament
Book SynopsisThe Old Testament is transformed from problem to ally when preachers attend to power at work in ancient and modern contexts by mirroring Second Isaiahs proclamation, listening to contemporary servant Israel, and learning from African American preaching in context of domination. This book analyses the impact of domination on Old Testament proclamation and thus leads to several unique contributions. Firstly, it reads Second Isaiah as a homiletic model for proclaiming older (pre-exilic) texts in response to exilic domination. Secondly, it treats the Old Testament as a rich resource for confronting racism and anti-Semitism though teaching and it introduces contemporary Christian-Jewish dialogue in Germany as a model for the Church. Lastly, it highlights preaching traditions within the African American Church as instructive for formulating an effective Old Testament preaching strategy.

Book SynopsisMit seiner Arbeit füllt David Bindrim eine Forschungslücke, deren Zustandekommen eigentlich unerklärlich ist: Obwohl gerade im alltäglichen Gemeindeleben aller christlichen Denominationen das Thema der Liebe theologisch reflektiert wird und das Doppelgebot der Liebe häufig sogar als der wesentliche Kern des Christentums dargestellt wird, hat eine umfassende Untersuchung der Liebe im Alten Testament, die Kern- und Ausgangspunkt der neutestamentlichen Liebesrede ist, bisher auf sich warten lassen. David Bindrim betrachtet daher alle Stellen, an denen „Liebe“ (אהב) im Alten Testament vorkommt, um das dahinterliegende Konzept von Liebe zu ergründen. Ausgangspunkt ist die scheinbar simple Frage: „Ist das Liebe, wie wir sie verstehen?“ Diese Untersuchung zeigt sowohl große strukturelle Gemeinsamkeiten als auch tiefgreifende Unterschiede auf. Der Autor betrachtet in seinem Werk sämtliche Belege und fokussiert nicht von vorneherein die theologischen Texte. Zudem zieht er die Emotionsforschung zurate, die fruchtbare Erträge bei der Betrachtung einer Emotionsvokabel mit sich bringt.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Novum Testamentum et Orbis Antiquus / Studien zur
Book SynopsisWere there any potential law critical motives in Jewish texts from which Paul could pursue linguistically and factually? Ines Pollmann examines this and makes the origin of Pauline law criticism historically plausible. In four texts such motives become manifest but they are usually rejected: the repression of the law in Ant. 4.145-149, the impossible fulfilment of the law in 4Esra 8.20-36, the spiritualisation of ritual laws in Philo migr. 89-93 and the posterior addition of the states law in Philo Jos. 28-31.Pollmann then demonstrates that these four motives are representative and embedded in mentality trends of Judaism. The trends within Judaism itself give evidence of general traditions of antiquity: the sophistic law criticism, the consciousness of the imperfection of the human nature, the allegorical interpretation of religious praxis and the high esteem of unspoilt origins. Paul was the first to combine these diverse motives and, as a consequence of his belief in Christ, turned them into law criticism. His attitude towards the law is ambivalent and combines the respect for the law with a criticism on the law's downside.

BC, but also testify to a discussion on how to deal with suffering. On the one hand, God is accused of having caused the suffering, on the other hand, he is exonerated and the reason for the suffering is sought in the guilt of those affected. On the one hand there is fierce lamentation, on the other hand it is demanded that suffering be endured in silence. The commentary offers an interpretation of the individual songs as well as the composition as a whole.

Neukirchener Verlagsgesellschaft mbH Und der Herr wohnt in Zion (Joel 4,21)
Book SynopsisDie äußerst komplexe Struktur der Joelschrift, vor allem der letzten zwei Kapitel Joel 3 und 4, lädt dazu ein, sich ihr unter verschiedenen Perspektiven zu nähern. Der markante Schlusssatz, der den Titel der Arbeit bildet, fordert geradezu heraus, danach zu fragen, wie die Schrift denn nach den Höhen und Tiefen (Verheißung, Gericht und Heil) der letzten beiden Kapitel zu der starken Aussage über die Gegenwart Gottes kommt. Das vorliegende Werk möchte sich durch verschiedenen literaturwissenschaftlichen Zugängen und theologischen Fragestellungen damit auseinanderzusetzen. Die literaturwissenschaftliche Analyse arbeitet dabei primär unter synchroner Hinsicht, die redaktionsgeschichtlichen Entwicklungen der Joelschrift und des Zwölfprophetenbuches werden auf Grund vom aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Stand vorausgesetzt und sollen mit einem literaturwissenschaftlich-theologischen Ansatz ergänzt werden. Methodische Schwerpunkte sind eine detaillierte Strukturanalyse, die Darstellung eines Raumkonzepts, eine gezielte Sprechaktanalyse und eine Auswertung der Zeitstruktur, die jeweils die intertextuell-leserorientierte Perspektive aufgreifen. Mit Amos 9, Sacharja 8 und Ezechiel 48 wird der Blick auf andere Endpunkte prophetischer Literatur gelenkt, die gleichfalls Aussagen über die Präsenz Gottes treffen, und ihre theologische Zielrichtung mit der Joelschrift verglichen.

Book SynopsisThe Books of Kings are an important source on the history of Israel. The section 1 Kings 17-22 is shaped by the complex of the Elijah traditions, the miracle stories contained therein and their interdependence with the history of the Israelite kings. The passages from the second part of the 1st Book of Kings commented on in this volume include such central and well-known Bible texts as the ordeal on Mount Carmel, Elijah''s flight and the appearance of God on Mount Horeb or the conflicts with the queen''s wife Jezebel. Winfried Thiel gives an impression of this and develops his own profiled interpretation in dealing with numerous different research positions.

Neukirchener Verlagsgesellschaft mbH Im Spannungsfeld von Universität und Politik,
Book SynopsisRolf Rendtorff war einer der bedeutendsten Alttestamentler des 20. Jh., der mit seinen vielfach übersetzten Lehrbüchern und Einzelstudien eine hohe internationale Ausstrahlung besaß. In seinem Lebenswerk vereinte er Komponenten, die sonst getrennt sind: Er war einerseits ein kreativer Wissenschaftler an der Universität Heidelberg, der u.a. das priesterliche Denken im Alten Testament erforschte, die klassische Quellenscheidung durch ein überlieferungsgeschichtliches Modell erschütterte, schließlich aber eine Wende hin zum Endtext vollzog und zu einem Hauptvertreter der kanonischen Schriftauslegung wurde. Ebenso hat sich Rendtorff in der Kirche engagiert, wo er für eine Überwindung antijüdischer Traditionen und ein erneuertes Verhältnis zur Synagoge kämpfte. Ein drittes bedeutendes Element war sein hochschulpolitisches Wirken v.a. als Rektor der Universität Heidelberg. Er war eine Leitfigur der 68er Generation und ein Kopf der Reformuniversität, womit auch sein parteipolitisches Engagement als Bundestagskandidat der SPD zusammenhing. Als besondere Komponente seines Oeuvres muss man viertens seine außergewöhnlich enge Verbindung zu Israel herausstellen, die sich wissenschaftlich-theologisch, kirchlich und politisch in z. T. dramatischen Umbrüchen niederschlug. Ein internationaler Schülerkreis legt hier eine kritische Würdigung von Werk und Auftrag dieses politisch und kirchlich engagierten Wissenschaftlers und Freund Israels vor, von dem hier erstmals Predigten abgedruckt sind.

Neukirchener Verlagsgesellschaft mbH 1 Samuel 27 2 Samuel 8
Book SynopsisThe books of Samuel are not only an important source on the history of Israel, they also set important ethical and theological standards, and they rank among the great literary works of the world. They have been reinterpreted from antiquity to the present - in the entire history of Judaism and Christianity, as well as in the history of art, literature and music, and especially in the more recent research history. This commentary gives an impression of all of this, and it certainly develops its own positions on it. The texts laid out here deal with David''s rise from the leader of a militia to the ruler of a dual monarchy: a process that has often been doubted recently, but in essence it is not implausible. However, the sources only partially go back to the 10th century; only around 700 BC BC, older individual traditions and two narrative wreaths were combined into a courtly narrative work, which was further edited in the 6th century on several Deuteronomistic editorial levels. The Biblical Commentary offers an opportunity to explore all these aspects. It is based on the tried-and-tested scheme of the series: all available special literature is listed for each pericope. Under Text there is a separate translation that stays close to the original text and is extensively substantiated with textual criticism. Under Form the formal design of the text, its composition, its structure, the linguistic devices used (e.g. key words and chiasms), the characterization of the narrative characters, etc. come into view. The Location section examines the locations mentioned, but also the literary-historical location of the text or its layers, as well as the historical location of its statements. Under Word the individual sections, sentences and words are interpreted and conspicuous details - such as linguistic, factual, historical, theological - are discussed. Finally, under goal, the question, often with recourse to the history of reception, is what is particularly striking and lasting about the respective text.as besonders Auffallende und Bleibende ist.
