The Peshitta and Syro-Hexapla Translations of Amos 1:3-2:16
In The Peshitta and Syro-Hexapla Translations of Amos 1:3-2:16, Petra Verwijs presents the result of a detailed study about the translation techniques used by two Syriac translations of the Biblical passage indicated. The Peshitta is the translation from a Hebrew original and the Syro-Hexapla from a Greek version. The book evaluates the unique characteristics of both through a detailed study of vocabulary and grammar. Previous scholarship has addressed issues of translation technique for the Peshitta of the Dodekapropheton, of which Amos 1:3-2:16 is a part. This is the first detailed study of any part of the Dodekapropheton of the Syro-Hexapla.
Lexical Dependence and Intertextual Allusion in the Septuagint of the Twelve Prophets
This book explores various aspects of intertextuality in the LXX Twelve Prophets, with a special emphasis on Hosea, Amos and Micah. Divided into five parts, the first introduces the topic of intertextuality, discusses issues relating to the Twelve Prophets and their translator and concludes with various methodological considerations. Chapter two deals initially with the lexical sourcing of the prophets in their Hellenistic milieu and tests proposed theories of influence from the Pentateuch. The rest of the book examines specific cases from the books of Hosea, Amos and Micah. The third chapter deals with standard expressions used by the translator, even in places where the Hebrew does not correspond. The fourth chapter investigates the use of catchwords that the Greek translator identified in his Hebrew Vorlage and that function for him as links between two or more texts. Finally, the fifth chapter examines cases where the translator understands the text to be alluding to specific biblical stories, events and characters of particular interest in Hellenistic Judaism.

The Oxford Handbook of the Septuagint
The Septuagint is the term commonly used to refer to the corpus of early Greek versions of Hebrew Scriptures. The collection is of immense importance in the history of both Judaism and Christianity. The renderings of individual books attest to the religious interests of the substantial Jewish population of Egypt during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, and to the development of the Greek language in its Koine phase. The narrative ascribing the Septuagint's origins to the work of seventy translators in Alexandria attained legendary status among both Jews and Christians. The Septuagint was the version of Scripture most familiar to the writers of the New Testament, and became the authoritative...
The Book of Amos
In this commentary on the book of Amos, Daniel Carroll combines a detailed reading of the Hebrew text with attention to its historical background and current relevance. What makes this volume unique is its special attention to Amos’s literary features and what they reveal about the book’s theology and composition. Instead of reconstructing a hypothetical redactional history, this commentary offers a close reading of the canonical form against the backdrop of the eighth century BCE.

Plancyclus in het sociaal-agogisch werk
In de hulpverlening is handelen het belangrijkste wat je doet, maar het is ook het laatste: er gaat een denk– en onderzoeksproces aan vooraf. Vaak zijn hulpverleners al aan het handelen of oplossen wanneer ze ontdekken dat hun oplossing niet goed werkt. Dit komt meestal doordat nog niet goed is onderzocht waar het probleem nu eigenlijk zit. Ook kan het voorkomen dat de diagnose goed is gesteld, maar dat er simpelweg niet naar wordt gehandeld. Veelal ontbreekt dan een concrete planning. En een diagnose zonder planning is als een auto zonder benzine: er gebeurt niets. Dit boek gaat over alle stappen die sociaal–pedagogisch hulpverleners moeten nemen om verantwoord te handelen. De stappen i...
