Book excerpt: Im Zentrum dieses Werkes steht das komplexe Verhältnis zwischen Gottesbildern und Weltbildern in den Religionen Griechenlands und Roms sowie in Judentum, Christentum und Islam. Auch die polytheistischen Religionen der römischen Kaiserzeit kennen monotheistische Tendenzen. Konfrontiert man dies mit den unterschiedlichen monotheistischen Konzeptionen von Judentum, Christentum und Islam stellt sich die Frage, welchen Erkenntniswert der Begriff Monotheismus haben kann. Ist Monotheismus ohne Polytheismus überhaupt denkbar? Welchen Einfluß haben die theologischen Konzeptionen auf das Toleranzpotential? Der Band erörtert viele Probleme, die in den bis heute praktizierten Religionen Anlaß zu geistiger, im Extremfall gewaltsam ausgetragener Auseinandersetzung sind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: These volumes contribute to the manifold relationship between polytheism and monotheism in the religions of the Ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world including the current discussions in Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianiy and Islam. In all the religions that are dealt with, the terms polytheism and monotheism prove to be too vague to describe the various manifestations appropriately. German description: Im Zentrum der beiden Bande steht der komplexe Zusammenhang zwischen Gottesbildern und Weltbildern in Agypten, Persien, Mesopotamien, Syrien, Kleinasien, Israel, Griechenland und Rom, im Zoroastrismus, Judentum, Christentum und Islam. Die spannungsvolle Vielfalt hat nicht nur Weltbilder in der orientalischen und hellenistisch-romischen Antike gepragt. In veranderter Gestalt ist sie bis heute in den praktizierten Religionen Anlass zu geistiger, im Extremfall gewaltsam ausgetragener Auseinandersetzung. Der Einfluss auf individuelle Lebensfuhrung und religiose sowie politische Weltanschauung ist unverkennbar. [Es] wird eine Fulle an Material geboten und eine ganze Reihe von Einzelfragen diskutiert. Wer auf der Suche nach neuen Erkenntnissen zur mesopotamischen oder phonizischen Religion ist, wird genauso fundig wie derjenige, der sich fur den Zoroastrismus oder wichtige Aspekte romischer Religion interessiert.Bernd U. Schipper in Zeitschrift fur Religionswissenschaft 15 (2007), S. 95Band I und II liegen nun als Studienausgabe vor. Sie werden nur zusammen abgegeben.

Book Synopsis Death in the Iron Age II and in First Isaiah by : Christopher B. Hays
Download or read book Death in the Iron Age II and in First Isaiah written by Christopher B. Hays and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2011 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death is one of the major themes of 'First Isaiah, ' although it has not generally been recognized as such. Images of death are repeatedly used by the prophet and his earliest tradents.The book begins by concisely summarizing what is known about death in the Ancient Near East during the Iron Age II, covering beliefs and practices in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Syria-Palestine, and Judah/Israel. Incorporating both textual and archeological data, Christopher B. Hays surveys and analyzes existing scholarly literature on these topics from multiple fields.Focusing on the text's meaning for its producers and its initial audiences, he describes the ways in which the 'rhetoric of death' functioned in its historical context and offers fresh interpretations of more than a dozen passages in Isa 5-38. He shows how they employ the imagery of death that was part of their cultural contexts, and also identifies ways in which they break new creative ground.This holistic approach to questions that have attracted much scholarly attention in recent decades produces new insights not only for the interpretation of specific biblical passages, but also for the formation of the book of Isaiah and for the history of ancient Near Eastern religions

Book Synopsis "You Shall Not Kill" by : J. Cornelis de Vos
Download or read book "You Shall Not Kill" written by J. Cornelis de Vos and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Tötung von Menschen wird in vielen biblischen Texten thematisiert. Locus classicus ist das Tötungsverbot im Dekalog (Ex 20,13; Dtn 5,17). Im Kontext von Krieg oder als Strafe für schwerwiegende Verbrechen erschien die Tötung eines Menschen für die Verfasser der biblischen Texte wohl kaum problematisch. Gott selbst wird als jemand beschrieben, der das Töten von Personen anordnet und Menschen töten für ihn. Manchmal ist es sogar Gott selbst, der tötet. Andere biblische Aussagen und Traditionen sperren sich gegenüber dieser Sicht: Wurde der Mensch nicht nach dem Bild Gottes geschaffen (Gen 1,26-27; 9,6)? Die Gottähnlichkeit des Menschen impliziert das Verbot, einen Menschen zu töten. In diesem Kontext steht bekanntlich auch das 5. Gebot des Dekalog: »Du sollst nicht töten!« Die zentrale Frage des vorliegenden Bandes ist, ob und wie biblische und nicht-biblische Tötungsverbote als Norm in der Antike funktionieren. Beiträge aus den Bereichen des altorientalischen und antiken Rechts, der Bibelwissenschaft, der alten Geschichte, des antiken Judentums und der frühen Kirchengeschichte geben Einblicke in diese bis heute aktuelle Thematik. Fachkundige Experten behandeln das Tötungsverbot, indem sie die zentralen Frage- und Problemstellungen, die sich in altorientalischer, patristischer und mittelalterlicher Zeit unterschiedlich darstellen, kritisch beleuchten und diskutieren.
Book Synopsis The Theme of Hardening in the Book of Isaiah by : Torsten Uhlig
Download or read book The Theme of Hardening in the Book of Isaiah written by Torsten Uhlig and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2009 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their hearts and turn and be healed. This call of the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 6 has perplexed readers of all times. Torsten Uhlig reconsiders this text and other related passages. Applying a communicative approach and engaging with recent studies on righteousness, the author presents a new interpretation of the theme of hardening in the Book of Isaiah. He argues that hardening is to be understood in the context of the communicative aspect of righteousness and elucidates the communicative acts involved in the hardening of the people. Describing the role of these passages within the communicative strategy of larger units, this monograph offers a distinctive contribution to the interpretation of the Book of Isaiah as a whole.

Book Synopsis Oracular Law and Priestly Historiography in the Torah by : Simeon Chavel
Download or read book Oracular Law and Priestly Historiography in the Torah written by Simeon Chavel and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simeon Chavel identifies a distinct story-type in the Torah, the "oracular novella," its contours and poetics, historical background, and use. A very short story of human quandary resolved by divine law, the oracular novella depicts an incident or set of circumstances in Israel, oracular inquiry by Moses, and instruction by Yahweh. The Torah has four such stories, all in the Priestly source, about cursing Yahweh (Lev 24:10-23), Pesa? deferral (Num 9:1-14), woodgathering on the Sabbath (Num 15:32-36), and inheritance by daughters (Num 27:1-11). All four dramatize themes in the divine speeches and divinely directed activities preceding them. But each utilizes the legal climax distinctly, has a separate compositional history, and affected other biblical texts differently. Ancient sources show the oracular novellas to adapt a form of priestly activity for historiography. Together they illuminate the Priestly History deeply troping divine will as law, and highlight Judean priests cherishing oracular inquiry as the nexus of divine and human society.
Book Synopsis "I Undertook Great Works" by : Douglas J. Green
Download or read book "I Undertook Great Works" written by Douglas J. Green and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2010 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, scholars study ancient Near Eastern royal inscriptions to reconstruct the events they narrate. In recent decades, however, a new approach has analyzed these inscriptions as products of royal ideology and has delineated the way that ideology has shaped their narration of historical events. This ideologically-sensitive approach has focused on kings' accounts of their military campaigns. This study applies this approach to the narration of royal domestic achievements, first in the Neo-Assyrian inscriptional tradition, but especially in nine West Semitic inscriptions from the 10th to 7th centuries B.C.E. and describes how these accounts also function as the products of royal ideology.
Book Synopsis From Gods to God by : Baruch Halpern
Download or read book From Gods to God written by Baruch Halpern and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2009 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birth of the West stems from the rejection of tradition. All our evidence for this influence comes from the Axial period, 800-400 BCE. Baruch Halpern explores the impact of changing cosmologies and social relations on cultural change in that era, especially from Mesopotamia to Israel and Greece, but extending across the Mediterranean, not least to Egypt and Italy. In this volume he shows how an explosion of international commerce and exchange, which can be understood as a Renaissance, led to the redefinition of selfhood in various cultures and to Reformation. The process inevitably precipitated an Enlightenment. This has happened over and over in human history and in academic or cultural fields. It is the basis of modernization, or Westernization, wherever it occurs, and whatever form it takes.
Book Synopsis The Exegesis of the Pentateuch by : Jean Louis Ska
Download or read book The Exegesis of the Pentateuch written by Jean Louis Ska and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2009 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies collected in this book represent landmarks in the vast exegetical landscape of the Pentateuch. In the first series of these studies, Jean-Louis Ska examines key texts from different perspectives and draws a map to show the way. These texts are mainly the story of the flood (Gen 6-9), the call of Abraham (Gen 12:1-4), God's covenant with Abraham (Gen 15), the Lord's apparition to Abraham in Mamre (Gen 18), the sacrifice of Isaac (Gen 22), the introduction to the Sinai covenant (Exod 19:3-6), and the meal and the vision on the mountain (Exod 24:9-11). Different methods are used according to the text or the topic treated: literary criticism, redaction criticism, inner-biblical exegesis, and narrative analysis. In the second part, the author grapples with some basic issues in recent debates about exegetical methods: the function of the narrator, the validity of resorting to the category of redactor, the nature and purpose of the biblical law collections, and the legitimacy of a critical reading of the Old Testament. The Pentateuch is a cantata with many voices, and faithfulness to its nature means that the exegete has to use all the instruments at his or her disposal to make this old music be heard once again.
Book Synopsis De-demonising the Old Testament by : Judit M. Blair
Download or read book De-demonising the Old Testament written by Judit M. Blair and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2009 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judit M. Blair challenges the common view that azazel, lilith, deber, qeteb and reshef are names of 'demons' in the Hebrew Bible, claiming that major works on the subject proceed from the assumption that these terms were demons in the ancient Near East and /or later, or that they were deities who became 'demonised' by the authors of the Hebrew Bible. Without questioning the validity of traditional methods she supplements the existing works by making an exegesis based on a close reading of all the relevant texts of the Hebrew Bible in which these five terms occur. Close attention is paid to the linguistic, semantic, and structural levels of the texts. The emphasis is on a close examination of the immediate context in order to determine the function of each term. The author notes different signals within the texts, especially the use of the various poetical/rhetorical devices: personification, parallelism, similes, irony, and mythological elements.
