Johann Andreas Schmeller
"Schau 'mal im ,Schmeller' nach", heißt es, wenn man einen unbekannten bairischen Mundartausdruck sucht. Gemeint ist das "Bayerische Wörterbuch", mit dem Johann Andreas Schmeller (1785–1852) die moderne Mundartforschung begründet hat. Für ihn gehörte der Dialekt zur kulturellen Identität. Den hochbegabten Sohn eines armen Korbflechters trieb es in die Ferne, wo er als Pädagoge arbeitete und als Soldat diente. Nach entsagungsvollen Jahren fand er eine Anstellung an der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek, zu deren weltweitem Ansehen seine Tätigkeit beitrug. Diese Biografie begleitet ein bewegendes und bewegtes Leben in unruhiger Zeit, sie beschreibt einzigartige Leistungen und verschweigt auch nicht das Gefühl sozialer Benachteiligung, das dem berühmten Gelehrten seit Kindheitstagen wie ein Schatten folgte.
The World is Full of Assholes
The ULTIMATE book on Assholes is here! This isn’t your typical coming-of-age story about first crushes, first kisses, and unexpected boners. It’s about assholes, unlawful partying, emotional torment, and getting even. Benjamin Dover was six years old when he realized his father wasn’t a decent man. He was nine years old the first time he jumped on his drunken father’s back to stop him from hurting his mom. Benjamin grew up bathed in asshole behavior and spent the rest of his life trying to scrub it off. If you’ve ever had to tolerate assholes, partied your brains out, had a humiliating first sexual experience, or enjoy getting even, then you’ll love this book.
Speech-in-Character, Diatribe, and Romans 3:1-9
In Speech-in-Character, Diatribe, and Romans 3:1-9, Justin King argues that the rhetorical skill of speech-in-character (prosopopoiia, sermocinatio, conformatio) offers a methodologically sound foundation for understanding the script of Paul’s imaginary dialogue with an interlocutor in Romans 3:1-9. King focuses on speech-in-character’s stable criterion that attributed speech should be appropriate to the characterization of the speaker. Here, speech-in-character helps to inform which voice in the dialogue speaks which lines, and the general goals of diatribe help shape how an “appropriate” understanding of the script is best interpreted. King’s analyses of speech-in-character, diatribe, and Romans, therefore, make independent contributions while simultaneously working together to advance scholarship on a much debated passage in one of history’s most important texts.

Pauline Communities as 'scholastic Communities'
Edwin Judge's description of early Christian communities as 'scholastic communities' provides the starting point of a search for a sociological description of the Christian communities portrayed in 1 Corinthians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. An original methodology uses a multi-layered exegetical approach to study every occurrence of the vocabulary of 'teaching' in the letters. The focus is on the activity of teaching (e.g., participants, method, manner, purpose, result, etc). The vocabulary represents ten semantic groupings, which shed further light on the place and practice of education in the communities ( core-teaching, speaking, traditioning, announcing, revealing, worshipping, commanding, correcting, remembering / imitation, and false teaching ). Claire S. Smith supports and develops Judge's 1960 description, advancing on it by showing that the communities are better described as 'learning communities' with horizontal (human-human) and vertical (divine-human) dimensions.
Konstruktion sozialer Identität: Studien zum Reinheitsverständnis im antiken Judentum und im Neuen Testament
Why do questions of purity play a minor role in the New Testament when the majority of the texts are of Jewish origin and character? To answer this question, the present study analyses the forming of identity as a central function to purity in ancient Jewish sources. Using the theory of social identity according to Henri Taijfel and John Turner, Milena Hasselmann examined the importance of purity texts in the New Testament and in other ancient Jewish sources for the construction of social identity. On a broad basis of sources and with the help of Hebrew-language literature, which is little received in the German and English-language scientific context, it becomes a meaningful picture that pl...
In Babel's Shadow
A comprehensive cultural history of the language sciences in nineteenth-century Germany. In contrast to fields like anthropology, the history of linguistics has received remarkably little attention outside of its own discipline despite the undeniable impact language study has had on the modern period. In Babel's Shadow situates German language scholarship in relation to European nationalism, nineteenth-century notions of race and ethnicity, the methodologies of humanistic inquiry, and debates over the interpretation of scripture. Author Tuska Benes investigates how the German nation came to be defined as a linguistic community and argues that the "linguistic turn" in today's social sciences ...
