Prophetic Polyphony
"Peter A. Heasley demonstrates the allusive presence of the psalms in the prophecy of Isaiah, and through an interpretative approach influenced by Mikhail Bakhtin shows how the presence of the psalms shapes the relationship of the prophetic author and reader"--Page 4 of cover.
Jews and Their Roman Rivals
How encounters with the Roman Empire compelled the Jews of antiquity to rethink their conceptions of Israel and the Torah Throughout their history, Jews have lived under a succession of imperial powers, from Assyria and Babylonia to Persia and the Hellenistic kingdoms. Jews and Their Roman Rivals shows how the Roman Empire posed a unique challenge to Jewish thinkers such as Philo, Josephus, and the Palestinian rabbis, who both resisted and internalized Roman standards and imperial ideology. Katell Berthelot traces how, long before the empire became Christian, Jews came to perceive Israel and Rome as rivals competing for supremacy. Both considered their laws to be the most perfect ever writte...
The Book of Jeremiah
Written by leading experts in the field, The Book of Jeremiah: Composition, Reception, and Interpretation offers a wide-ranging treatment of the main aspects of Jeremiah. Its twenty-four essays fall under four main sections. The first section contains studies of a more general nature, and helps situate Jeremiah in the scribal culture of the ancient world, as well as in relation to the Torah and the Hebrew Prophets. The second section contains commentary on and interpretation of specific passages (or sections) of Jeremiah, as well as essays on its genres and themes. The third section contains essays on the textual history and reception of Jeremiah in Judaism and Christianity. The final section explores various theological aspects of the book of Jeremiah.
A Mirror of Rabbinic Hermeneutics
Rabbinic hermeneutics in ancient Judaism reflects this multifaceted world of the text and of reality, seen as a world of reference worth commentary. As a mirror, it includes this world but perhaps also falsifies reality, adapting it to one's own aims and necessities. It consists of four parts: Part I, considered as introduction, is the description of the "Rabbinic Workshop" (Officina Rabbinica), the rabbinic world where the student plays a role and a reformation of a reformation always takes place, the world where the mirror was created and manufactured. Part II deals with the historical environment, the world of reference of rabbinic Judaism in Palestine and in the Hellenistic Diaspora (Ref...
Comunicación y pragmática en la exégesis bíblica
El presente estudio quiere contribuir a una comprensión de la Sagrada Escritura como acto comunicativo, con la convicción de que toda palabra -sobre todo la bíblica- no solamente "dice", sino que "hace" algo, pues nunca deja, ni pretende dejar, las cosas tal como están. Esto significa que la interpretación de un texto no puede limitarse al estricto ámbito semántico, sino que debe tener en cuenta la complejidad de los mecanismos y agentes implicados en la interacción comunicativa que se realiza en el acto de leer. Este volumen es de alguna manera pionero, puesto que, aunque la pragmática ya ocupa un espacio de primer nivel en el ámbito de la lingüística, en el campo estrictamente bíblico todavía es una gran desconocida. Esta falta de manuales específicos ha animado a los autores a afrontar de manera sistemática la materia, desarrollada en la primera parte del libro desde una perspectiva teórica y mediante ensayos prácticos de exégesis bíblica en la segunda parte.
Deconstruction and Reconstruction in Yhwh's Universal Project
Taking its bearing from the mission statement in prophet Jeremiah’s vocation narrative (Jer 1:10), the book examines YHWH’s events of deconstruction and reconstruction in Israel of the Old Testament. Through the analysis of the six verbs—namely, “pluck up,” “pull down,” “demolish,” “destroy,” “build,” and “plant,” the book gives a different dimension to the common impression that Jeremiah is a prophet of woes and laments; thereby limiting his prophecies to only oracles of destruction, hence total annihilation. Rather, it investigates Jeremiah’s prophecies as flying with two wings: oracles of judgement and oracles of salvation. In other words, the oracles are n...
Allusive Soundplay in the Hebrew Bible
The first study to focus exclusively on the use in the Hebrew Bible of soundplay to allude to and interpret earlier literary traditions This book focuses on the way the biblical writers used allusive soundplay to construct theological discourse, that is, in service of their efforts to describe the nature of God and God's relationship to humanity. By showing that a variety of biblical books contain examples of allusive soundplay employed for this purpose, Kline demonstrates that this literary device played an important role in the growth of the biblical text as a whole and in the development of ancient Israelite and early Jewish theological traditions. Features: Demonstrates that allusive soundplay was a productive compositional technique in ancient Israel Identifies examples of innerbiblical allusion that have not been identified before A robust methodology for identifying soundplay in innerbiblical allusions

Jalkut Schimoni zu Jesaja
Der Jalkut Schimoni ist ein Sammelwerk rabbinischer Auslegungen zur gesamten Hebräischen Bibel. Unerforscht ist, nach welchen Kriterien die Auslegungen ausgewählt wurden und ob das Werk als umfassendes Nachschlagewerk für exegetische Fragen, zur Verbindung von Bibelauslegung in Talmud und Midrasch oder zur Reform der rabbinischen Auslegungstradition konzipiert wurde. Die Übersetzung des Werkes ist ein erster Schritt, diese Fragen zu beantworten.
Völkerwallfahrt im Jesajabuch
Die endzeitliche Völkerwallfahrt ist ein gewichtiges biblisches Motiv. Dennoch wurde ihm noch keine eigene Studie gewidmet. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht es im Rahmen des Jesajabuchs und leistet damit einen Beitrag für eine noch zu schreibende Monographie. In der Einleitung wird ein doppeltes Defizit konstatiert: die “Israel-Vergessenheit” in der christlichen und die “Völker-Vergessenheit” in der jüdischen Liturgie. Danach werden die bisherige Forschung vorgestellt und der intertextuelle Interpretationsansatz begründet. Im Hauptteil werden die elf Verheißungen eines friedlichen Zionszugs der Völker ausgelegt, dem Leseablauf folgend, von Jes 2 bis 66. Das Motiv reichert sic...
