Collective Violence and Memory in the Ancient Mediterranean
This book reveals how violent pasts were constructed by ancient Mediterranean societies, the ideologies they served, and the socio-political processes and institutions they facilitated. Combining case studies from Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, Israel/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as “victors” and “vanquished” to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts to literary works, chronicles, monumental reliefs, and other material artefacts such as ruins. It thus paves the way for a new comparative approach to the study of collective violence in the ancient world.
Law and Religion in the Eastern Mediterranean
This volume addresses the similarities and differences in the role played by law and religion in various societies across the Eastern Mediterranean. Approaching these subjects in an all-encompassing manner, it also looks at the notion of law and religion in this region as a whole, in both the geographical as well as the historical space.
Centralizing the Cult
Back cover: In this work, Julia Rhyder examines the Holiness legislation in Leviticus 17-26 and cultic centralization in the Persian period. Rather than presuming centralization as an established norm, Leviticus 17-26 forge a distinctive understanding of centralization around a central sanctuary, standardized ritual processes, and a hegemonic priesthood.
Ester – eine Gewaltgeschichte
The series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZAW) covers all areas of research into the Old Testament, focusing on the Hebrew Bible, its early and later forms in Ancient Judaism, as well as its branching into many neighboring cultures of the Ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman world. BZAW welcomes submissions that make an original and significant contribution to the field; demonstrate sophisticated engagement with the relevant secondary literature; and are written in readable, logical, and engaging prose.
Innerbiblische Auslegung und priesterliche Fortschreibungen in Lev 8-10
"Meike J. Röhrig zeigt auf, wie sich in den Erzählungen über die Einsetzung der Aaroniden ins Priesteramt (Lev 8-10) mehrere Schübe sekundärpriesterlicher Fortschreibungen aneinandergereiht haben, die teilweise in einer 'schriftgelehrten' bzw. auslegenden Beziehung zu ihrem unmittelbaren Nahkontext stehen, und leistet damit zugleich einen Beitrag zur Schärfung des Begriffs der 'innerbiblischen Schriftauslegung'." --Back cover.
Esther against Joseph’s Backdrop
An examination of MT Esther’s relationship to the Joseph story, this study employs recent advances in author-oriented biblical intertextuality to address the debate concerning the religious purpose of the Scroll. While previous scholarship has seen Esther’s divine silence indicating God’s hidden hand, the characters’ or readers’ quiet faiths, or the secular concerns of an ancient Jewish nationalism, key aspects of Esther’s allusive character illustrate how the book purposefully constructs a theology of divine absence. As good-looking Israelites continue to rise in foreign courts to deliver themselves and their people from imminent dangers, the patterns God initiated in the Egypti...
Ecritures digitales
Ecritures digitales aims to demonstrate how digital writing contributes to the emergence of “a new relationship between the human body and the machine” as Jacques Derrida proposed when he considered the effects of new technologies. This reconfigured relationship, not surprisingly, is also influencing the digital future of the Jewish-Christian textual corpus referred to as “the Scriptures”. The French title brings together this duality in one expression: Ecritures digitales. The English subtitle makes explicit the double meaning of the unique French word Ecritures: Digital writing, digital Scriptures. With a full French version and an abbreviated English version, this monograph analyz...
Collective Violence and Memory in the Ancient Mediterranean
This book reveals how violent pasts were constructed by ancient Mediterranean societies, the ideologies they served, and the socio-political processes and institutions they facilitated. Combining case studies from Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt, Greece, Israel/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as "victors" and "vanquished" to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts to literary works, chronicles, monumental reliefs, and other material artefacts such as ruins. It thus paves the way for a new comparative approach to the study of collective violence in the ancient world.
Migration und Theologie
Im Kontext wissenschaftlich reflektierter Theologie sind Migration sowie die zugehörigen Themenfelder Flucht und Vertreibung im gesamten Fächerkanon zu einem breit diskutierten und hochaktuellen Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Forschung geworden. Ein Desiderat ist allerdings die konsequente Reflexion des Themas in der Theologie des Alten wie auch des Neuen Testaments. Die unterschiedlichen theologischen Prägungen der Bücher und Sammlungen der Bibel lassen das Thema Migration in je anderen, aber zentralen Akzentuierungen zum Vorschein kommen. Der innovative Band schließt diese Lücke, indem die Einzelbeiträge thematisch breit aufgestellt die Geltungsansprüche alt- und neutestamentlicher ...
