Samaritans
The articles in this volume originated from lectures given in two meetings devoted to the Samaritans. The first was the sixth conference of the Société d'Etudes Samaritaines, which took place at the University of Haifa in July 2004. The second meeting was part of the SBL International Conference in Vienna, July 2007. The volume reflects the current state of research on the Samaritans. It presents a wide spectrum of approaches, including historical questions, the political, religious and social context of the Samaritans in the past and present, linguistic approaches, the role of the Samaritans in the Talmudic literature, and questions of identity of the Samaritans up to now.
Hospitality: A Paradigm of Interreligious and Intercultural Encounter
The global community is currently being confronted with an increasing urgent demand for dialogue among cultures and religions. The question arises with regards to efficient concepts or tools which will help to shape the encounter of the different religions and cultures of the world with one another. Indicative here is the cognition that hospitality has to do with a factor which is proven in almost all religions and cultures of the world. Hospitality is primarily an existential encounter and as such it brings also the experience of difference in socio-religious traditions and in intercultural relations. Gegenwärtig wird in der Weltöffentlichkeit mit zunehmender Dringlichkeit die Forderung n...

Turmoil, Trauma and Tenacity in Early Jewish Literature
This volume is written in the context of trauma hermeneutics of ancient Jewish communities and their tenacity in the face of adversity (i.e. as recorded in the MT, LXX, Pseudepigrapha, the Deuterocanonical books and even Cognate literature. In this regard, its thirteen chapters, are concerned with the most recent outputs of trauma studies. They are written by a selection of leading scholars, associated to some degree with the Hungaro-South African Study Group. Here, trauma is employed as a useful hermeneutical lens, not only for interpreting biblical texts and the contexts in which they were originally produced and functioned but also for providing a useful frame of reference. As a consequence, these various research outputs, each in their own way, confirm that an historical and theological appreciation of these early accounts and interpretations of collective trauma and its implications, (perceived or otherwise), is critical for understanding the essential substance of Jewish cultural identity. As such, these essays are ideal for scholars in the fields of Biblical Studies—particularly those interested in the Pseudepigrapha, the Deuterocanonical books and Cognate literature.
„Alle Weisheit stammt vom Herrn ...“
Der Band vereinigt Studien des Salzburger Exegeten Friedrich V. Reiterer zu seiner langjährigen und intensiven Beschäftigung mit Ben Sira. Die einzelnen Beiträge wurden überarbeitet und die Zählung der Ben Sira-Belege der von Reiterer im Jahr 2002 herausgegebenen „Zählsynopse zum Buch Ben Sira“ angeglichen.
Gesellschaft und Religion in der spätbiblischen und deuterokanonischen Literatur
Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes behandeln spätbiblische Schriften (Tobit, Judit, griechische Esther, 1. Makkabäer, 2. Makkabäer, Buch der Weisheit, Ben Sira, Baruch, griechischer Daniel, Qumran,) aus hellenistischer Zeit unter dem Aspekt von Religion, Literatur und Gesellschaft. Den Schwerpunkt bilden Bedrohungsszenarien und die Abgrenzung gegenüber der hellenistisch geprägten Umwelt und die Identitätsfrage der Gläubigen in den vorchristlichen Jahrhunderten. Geboten werden aktuelle Untersuchungen zu einem bislang wenig beachteten Thema. Dieses ist aber zum Verständnis der Notsituation und der Lösungsmechanismen in den letzten Jahrhunderten vor der Zeitenwende und der Entwicklungen des Juden- und Christentums unverzichtbar.
