Book Synopsis The Samaritans and Early Judaism by : Ingrid Hjelm
Download or read book The Samaritans and Early Judaism written by Ingrid Hjelm and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an examination of various sources mentioning Samaritans or questions that can be related to a possible Samaritan-Judaean conflict, this book offers a new understanding both of Samaritanism and Judaism in their formation. The literature under examination dates from the Persian period to well into the Roman period and stems from Jewish, Christian, Hellenistic and Samaritan circles. This study concentrates on the anachronisms of the writers as well as those of our readings of the texts.
Book Synopsis Priests in Exile by : Meron M. Piotrkowski
Download or read book Priests in Exile written by Meron M. Piotrkowski and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Priests in Exile is the first comprehensive scholarly opus in English to reconstruct the history of the mysterious Temple of Onias, a Jewish temple built by a Jerusalemite high priest in his Egyptian exile that functioned in parallel with the Temple of Jerusalem. Piotrkowski’s book addresses a topic that is mysterious, important and anomalous: a Jewish community of mercenary priests in the (Egyptian) Diaspora in which the priestly sacrificial ritual was carried out daily over a period of more than two hundred years until the first century CE, outlasting the Jerusalem Temple by about three years. Although the book focuses on the very circumscribed topic of the parallel Temple it casts a wide net, placing the story in the context of Jewish Diaspora life in ancient times. Ancient topics and texts are brought to bear, including papyri, epigraphy, archaeology, as well as the modern literature. Piotrkowski throws new light on a fascinating episode of ancient Jewish history that is usually left in the dark.
Book Synopsis Samaritans and Jews in History and Tradition by : Ingrid Hjelm
Download or read book Samaritans and Jews in History and Tradition written by Ingrid Hjelm and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an anthology of 19 seminal studies, some for the first time in English, that explore the history and tradition of the ancient relationship between Samaritans and Jews. The book is arranged into three parts: Methods, Traditions, and History; Samaritan and Jewish Pentateuchs; and Studies in Bible and Tradition, each of which is chronologically ordered. It represents a collection of the author’s previous publications on the relationship between Samaritans and Jews, expanding and supplementing the conclusions of her published books. Recent archaeological developments on Mount Gerizim have demonstrated that our paradigms for writing the ancient histories of the kingdoms and provinces of Samaria and Judah in the Iron II, Persian, and Hellenistic periods must change. These developments also affect how we evaluate and read ancient literary traditions, and several chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes, narratives, and compositions in this subject area. Samaritans and Jews in History and Tradition: Changing Perspectives 10 will be of interest to students and scholars of biblical studies, theology, comparative religion, the ancient Near East, and in particular, Samaritan and Jewish studies.
Book Synopsis The Septuagint Version of Isaiah and Cognate Studies by : Isaac Leo Seeligmann
Download or read book The Septuagint Version of Isaiah and Cognate Studies written by Isaac Leo Seeligmann and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2004 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume makes accessible once more the groundbreaking work The Septuagint Version of Isaiah (1948) by Isac Leo Seeligmann (1907-1982), accompanied by two studies that have to be seen as prolegomena to the book. Both studies were published originally in the Dutch language, and the English translation of one of them appears in this volume for the first time. Seeligmann aims to understand the Septuagint as a witness of Hellenistic Judaism striving to maintain the text's special character as a document of faith. At the same time all of Seeligmann's works edited in this volume are documents of the suffering of European Judaism during the time of National Socialism. The new edition provides evidence of Seeligmann's approach to the Septuagint as a witness of Hellenistic Judaism which strives to maintain the text's special character as a document of faith. Because of this new access from the perspective of content and method, Seeligmann's influence on Septuagint research became so strong that it has lasted up to the present. The reader will realise that the history of Israel during the Hellenistic period does not simply represent an object of scholarly research for Seeligmann but also serves as the background for the interpretation of the history of the Jewish people in his own time.

Book Synopsis The Construct of Identity in Hellenistic Judaism by : Erich S. Gruen
Download or read book The Construct of Identity in Hellenistic Judaism written by Erich S. Gruen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects twenty two previously published essays and one new one by Erich S. Gruen who has written extensively on the literature and history of early Judaism and the experience of the Jews in the Greco-Roman world. His many articles on this subject have, however, appeared mostly in conference volumes and Festschriften, and have therefore not had wide circulation. By putting them together in a single work, this will bring the essays to the attention of a much broader scholarly readership and make them more readily available to students in the fields of ancient history and early Judaism. The pieces are quite varied, but develop a number of connected and related themes: Jewish identity in the pagan world, the literary representations by Jews and pagans of one another, the interconnections of Hellenism and Judaism, and the Jewish experience under Hellenistic monarchies and the Roman empire.
Book Synopsis Opening the Sealed Book by : Joseph Blenkinsopp
Download or read book Opening the Sealed Book written by Joseph Blenkinsopp and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the texts in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, perhaps no book has a more colorful history of interpretation than Isaiah. A comprehensive history of this interpretation between the prophet Malachi and the first days of Christianity, Joseph Blenkinsopp's Opening the Sealed Book traces three different prophetic traditions in Isaiah -- the "man of God," the critic of social structures, and the apocalyptic seer. Blenkinsopp explores the place of Isaiah in Jewish sectarianism, at Qumran, and among early Christians, touching on a number of its themes, including exile, "the remnant of Israel," martyrdom, and "the servant of the Lord." Encompassing several disciplines -- hermeneutics, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Second Temple studies, Christian origins -- Opening the Sealed Book will appeal to Jewish and Christian scholars as well as readers fascinated by the intricate and influential prophetic visions of Isaiah.
Book Synopsis Scripture and Theology by : Tomas Bokedal
Download or read book Scripture and Theology written by Tomas Bokedal and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academic disciplines of Biblical Studies and Systematic Theology were long closely linked to one another. However, in the modern period they became gradually separated which led to increasing subject specialization, but also to a lamentable lacuna within the various branches of Divinity. As the lack of dialogue between Biblical Studies and the various theological disciplines increased, a minority-group of scholars in the past few decades reacted and sought to re-establish the time-honoured bonds between the disciplines. The present volume is part of this intellectual response, with contributions from scholars of various professional and denominational backgrounds. Together, the book's 25 chapters seek to reinvigorate the crucial cross-disciplinary dialogue, involving biblical, narrative, historical, systematic-theological and philosophic-theological perspectives. The book opens the horizon to contemporary research, and fills a lamentable research gap with a number of fresh contributions from scholars in the respective sub-disciplines

Book Synopsis The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism by : John J. Collins
Download or read book The Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism written by John J. Collins and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 2790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Early Judaism is the first reference work devoted exclusively to Second Temple Judaism (fourth century b.c.e. through second century c.e.). The first section of this substantive and incredible work contains thirteen major essays that attempt to synthesize major aspects of Judaism in the period between Alexander and Hadrian. The second — and significantly longer — section offers 520 entries arranged alphabetically. Many of these entries have cross-references and all have select bibliographies. Equal attention is given to literary and nonliterary (i.e. archaeological and epigraphic) evidence and New Testament writings are included as evidence for Judaism in the first century c.e. Several entries also give pertinent information on the Hebrew Bible. The Dictionary of Early Judaism is intended to not only meet the needs of scholars and students — at which it succeeds admirably — but also to provide accessible information for the general reader. It is ecumenical and international in character, bringing together nearly 270 authors from as many as twenty countries and including Jews, Christians, and scholars of no religious affiliation.
