Cognitive Perspectives on Israelite Identity
It presents a vision of Israel as an epistemological rather than an ontological entity; a perspective on the world rather than an entity in it. >
Adopting the Stranger as Kindred in Deuteronomy
Investigate how Deuteronomy incorporates vulnerable, displaced people Deuteronomy addresses social contexts of widespread displacement, an issue affecting 65 million people today. In this book Mark R. Glanville investigates how Deuteronomy fosters the integration of the stranger as kindred into the community of Yahweh. According to Deuteronomy, displaced people are to be enfolded within the household, within the clan, and within the nation. Glanville argues that Deuteronomy demonstrates the immense creativity that communities may invest in enfolding displaced and vulnerable people. Inclusivism is nourished through social law, the law of judicial procedure, communal feasting, and covenant ren...

Judges 1
This groundbreaking volume presents a new translation of the text and detailed interpretation of almost every word or phrase in the book of Judges, drawing from archaeology and iconography, textual versions, biblical parallels, and extrabiblical texts, many never noted before. Archaeology also serves to show how a story of the Iron II period employed visible ruins to narrate supposedly early events from the so-called "period of the Judges." The synchronic analysis for each unit sketches its characters and main themes, as well as other literary dynamics. The diachronic, redactional analysis shows the shifting settings of units as well as their development, commonly due to their inner-textual reception and reinterpretation. The result is a remarkably fresh historical-critical treatment of 1:1-10:5.
Jewish Ethnic Identity and Relations in Hellenistic Egypt
In Jewish Ethnic Identity and Relations in Hellenistic Egypt, Stewart Moore investigates the foundations of common assumptions about ethnicity. To maintain one’s identity in a strange land, was it always necessary to band tightly together with one’s coethnics? Sociologists and anthropologists who study ethnicity have given us a much wider view of the possible strategies of ethnic maintenance and interaction. The most important facet of Jewish ethnicity in Egypt which emerges from this study is the interaction over the Jewish-Egyptian boundary. Previous scholarship has assumed that this border was a Siegfried Line marked by mutual contempt. Yet Jews, Egyptians and also Greeks interacted in complicated ways in Ptolemaic Egypt, with positive relationships being at least as numerous as negative ones.
Write that They May Read
Write That They May Read is a collection of essays written in honor of our mentor, friend, and fellow scholar, Professor Alan R. Millard. Respectful of his contribution to our understanding of writing and literacy in the ancient biblical world, all the essays deal with some aspect of this issue, ranging in scope from archeological artifacts that need to be "read," to early evidence of writing in Israel''s world, to the significance of reading and writing in the Bible, including God''s own literacy, to the production of books in the ancient world, and the significance of metaphorical branding of God''s people with his name. The contributors are distributed among Professor Millard''s peers and...
Sworn Enemies
Sworn Enemies explains how the book of Ezekiel uses formulaic language from the exodus origin tradition – especially YHWH’s oath – to craft an identity for the Judahite exiles. This language openly refutes an autochthonous origin tradition preferred by the non-exiled Judahites while covertly challenging Babylonian claims that YHWH was no longer worthy of worship. After specifying the layers of meaning in the divine oath, the book shows how Ezekiel uses these connotations to construct an explicit, public transcript that denies and mocks the non-exiles’ appeals to a combined Abraham and Jacob tradition (e.g. Ezek 35). Simultaneously, Ezekiel employs the oath’s exodus connotations to ...

History, Politics and the Bible from the Iron Age to the Media Age
As biblical studies becomes increasingly fragmented, this collection of essays brings together a number of leading scholars in order to show how historical reconstruction, philology, metacriticism, and reception history can be part of a collective vision for the future of the field. This collection of essays focuses more specifically on critical questions surrounding the construction of ancient Israel(s), 'minimalism', the ongoing significance of lexicography, the development of early Judaism, orientalism, and the use of the Bible in contemporary political discourses. Contributors include John van Seters, Niels Peter Lemche, Ingrid Hjelm, and Philip R. Davies.
Od judaizmu do antyjudaizmu i literatury rabinicznej
Judaizm ma swoje korzenie w Królestwie Judy z epoki żelaza i judaizmie Drugiej Świątyni. Zawiera trzy istotne i powiązane elementy: Studium spisanej Tory (Księgi Rodzaju, Wyjścia, Kapłańska, Liczby i Powtórzonego Prawa); uznanie Izraela (zdefiniowanego jako potomstwo Abrahama przez jego wnuka Jakuba) jako lud wybrany przez Boga jako odbiorców prawa na Górze Synaj, jego naród wybrany; oraz wymóg, aby Izrael żył zgodnie z prawami Bożymi podanymi w Torze. Antyjudaizm, czyli odrzucenie określonego sposobu myślenia o Bogu, różni się od antysemityzmu, który jest bardziej zbliżony do formy rasizmu. Uczeni, którzy widzą mniej wyraźną granicę między teologią a rasizmem, ukuli termin religijny antysemityzm. Niemniej jednak,koncepcja judaizmu była kwestionowana w ciągu ostatnich dwóch tysięcy lat przez badaczy zarówno chrześcijaństwa, jak i islamu. Zawartość: Początki judaizmu, jahwizm, judaizm drugiej świątyni, judaizm hellenistyczny, pochodzenie judaizmu rabinicznego, judaizm rabiniczny, domy Hillela i Szammaja, Mesjasz w judaizmie, anty-judaizm, literatura rabiniczna
