Book Synopsis The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek by : Benjamin Kantor
Download or read book The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek written by Benjamin Kantor and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 1053 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering, comprehensive study of the pronunciation of Judeo-Palestinian Koine Greek. How was New Testament Greek pronounced? Often students are taught Erasmian pronunciation, which does not even reproduce Erasmus’s own pronunciation faithfully, let alone that of the New Testament authors. In his new book, Benjamin Kantor breaks a path toward an authentic pronunciation of Koine Greek at the time of the New Testament. To determine historical pronunciation, The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek surveys thousands of inscriptions and papyri. Kantor’s work integrates traditional methodology and statistical analysis of digital databases to examine spelling variations in the chosen texts. Kantor covers this cutting-edge approach, the primary sources, and their contexts before explaining the pronunciation of each Greek phoneme individually. Written for interested students and specialists alike, this guide includes both explicatory footnotes for novices and technical analysis for veterans. As the first comprehensive phonological and orthographic study of Judeo-Palestinian Koine Greek, The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek will be an essential resource for years to come.

Book Synopsis Local Self-Governance in Antiquity and in the Global South by : Dominique Krüger
Download or read book Local Self-Governance in Antiquity and in the Global South written by Dominique Krüger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nucleus of society is situated at the local level: in the village, the neighborhood, the city district. This is where a community first develops collective rules that are intended to ensure its continued existence. The contributors look at such configurations in geographical areas and time periods that lie outside of the modern Western world with its particular development of society and statehood: in Antiquity and in the Global South of the present. Here states tend to be weak, with obvious challenges and opportunities for local communities. How does governance in this context work? Scholars from various disciplines (Classics, Theology, Political Science, Sociology, Social Anthropology, Human Geography, Sinology) analyze different kinds of local arrangements in case studies, and they do so with a comparative approach. The sixteen papers examine the scope and spatial contingency of forms of self-governance; its legitimization and the collective identity of the groups behind them; the relations to different levels of state governance as well as to other local groups. Overall, this volume makes an interdisciplinary contribution to a better understanding of fundamental elements of local governance and statehood.

Book Synopsis The Menorah: Evolving into the Most Important Jewish Symbol by : Rachel Hachlili

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Menorah, the ancient seven-armed candelabrum, was the most important Jewish symbol both in the Land of Israel and the Diaspora.

This book is a continuation of Hachlili's earlier comprehensive study, The Menorah, the Ancient Seven-armed Candelabrum: Origin, Form and Significance. Brill, 2001. It entails the compilation and study of the material of the past two decades, presenting the theme of the menorah, focusing on its development, form, meaning, significance, and symbolism in antiquity.

Book Synopsis Roman Rule and Jewish Life by : Hannah M. Cotton
Download or read book Roman Rule and Jewish Life written by Hannah M. Cotton and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannah M Cotton’s collected papers focus on questions which have fascinated her for over four decades: the concrete relationships between law, language, administration and everyday life in Judaea and Nabataea in particular, and in the Roman world as a whole. Many of the papers, especially those devoted to the Judean Desert documents of the 2nd century CE have been widely cited. Others, having appeared in less accessible publications, may not have received the attention they deserve. On the whole, rather than addressing the grand narratives of world or national history, they look at the texture of life, seeking to provide tentative answers to historical questions and interpretations by paying fine attention to the details of literary and, especially, documentary evidence. Taken together they illuminate fundamental, often legal, questions concerning daily life and the exercise of Roman rule and administration in the early imperial period, and especially, their impact on life as it was lived in the province and the period where Roman and Jewish history fatefully intersected. The volume includes a complete bibliography of her publications.

Grabbe's four-volume history of the Second Temple period, collecting all that is known about the Jews during the period in which they were ruled by the Roman Empire.

Spanning from the reign of Herod Archelaus to the war with Rome and Roman control up to 150 CE, this volume concludes with Grabbe's holistic perspective on the Jews and Judaism in the Second Temple Period.
Book Synopsis Text and Intertext in Greek Epic and Drama by : Jonathan J. Price
Download or read book Text and Intertext in Greek Epic and Drama written by Jonathan J. Price and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents 19 interconnected studies on the language, history, exegesis, and cultural setting of Greek epic and dramatic poetic texts ("Text") and their afterlives ("Intertext") in Antiquity. Spanning texts from Hittite archives to Homer to Greek tragedy and comedy to Vergil to Celsus, the studies here were all written by friends and colleagues of Margalit Finkelberg who are experts in their particular fields, and who have all been influenced by her work. The papers offer close readings of individual lines and discussion of widespread cultural phenomena. Readers will encounter Hittite precedents to the Homeric poems, characters in ancient epic analysed by modern cognitive theory, the use of Homer in Christian polemic, tragic themes of love and murder, a history of the Sphinx, and more. Text and Intertext in Greek Epic and Drama offers a selection of fascinating essays exploring Greek epic, drama, and their reception and adaption by other ancient authors, and will be of interest to anyone working on Greek literature.
Book Synopsis The Gospel of Mark by : Gabriel Nieto Zahino
Download or read book The Gospel of Mark written by Gabriel Nieto Zahino and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few works have gazed on the Marcan topic with as much a detail as this one. The tradition on the origin and authorship of the second Gospel looms up from the shadows in southern central Anatolia, closing the first third of the first century AD, pointing out the relation of Mark, one of the most consistent secondary figures of the New Testament, and Peter the apostle. In no more than fifty years, tradition will stress the link of Mark’s work with the imperial see, Rome. Nieto Zahíno’s monograph takes pains to submit all the available diagnostic material in the Marcan tradition from the first century to the early third century AD to unceasing examination, presenting the reader with historical, archaeological, geographical, grammatical, and codicological approximations while surveying afresh three of the chief candidates for the critical reconstruction of the second Gospel: Rome, Jewish Palestine, and the especial blend between the former two that once existed, Caesarea Maritima. More than an autopsy over a dead document, Nieto Zahíno’s analysis returns us to the living force of Scripture, an odyssey through ancient Christianity that will not leave the heart of the most exigent scholars untouched.
Book Synopsis The History of the Diadochoi in Book XIX of Diodoros’ ›Bibliotheke‹ by : Alexander Meeus
Download or read book The History of the Diadochoi in Book XIX of Diodoros’ ›Bibliotheke‹ written by Alexander Meeus and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diodoros of Sicily’s book XIX is the main source for the history of the Diadochoi, Alexander the Great’s Successors, from 317 to 311 BCE. With the first full-scale commentary on this text in any language Alexander Meeus offers a detailed and reliable guide to the complicated historical narrative and the fascinating ethnographic information transmitted by Diodoros, which includes the earliest accounts of Indian widow burning and Nabataean culture. Studying both history and historiography, this volume elucidates a crucial stage in the creation of the Hellenistic world in Greece and the Near East as well as the confusing source tradition. Diodoros, a long neglected author indispensable for much of our knowledge of Antiquity, is currently enjoying growing scholarly interest. An ample introduction discusses his historical methods and sheds light on his language and style and on the manuscript transmission of books XVII-XX. By negotiating between diametrically opposed scholarly opinions a new understanding of Diodoros’ place in the ancient historiographical tradition is offered. The volume is of interest to scholars of ancient historiography, Hellenistic history, Hellenistic prose and the textual transmission of the Bibliotheke.
Book Synopsis Empresses-in-Waiting by : Christian Rollinger
Download or read book Empresses-in-Waiting written by Christian Rollinger and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-20 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empresses-in-Waiting comprises case studies of late antique empresses, female members of imperial dynasties, and female members of the highest nobility of the late Roman empire, ranging from the fourth to the seventh centuries AD. Situated in the context of the broader developments of scholarship on late antique and byzantine empresses, this volume explores the political agency, religious authority, and influence of imperial and near-imperial women within the Late Roman imperial court, which is understood as a complex spatial, social, and cultural system, the centre of patronage networks, and an arena for elite competition. The studies explore female performance and representation in literary and visual media as well as in court ceremonial, and discuss the opportunities and constraints of female power within a male dominated court environment and the broader realms of imperial activity. By focusing on imperial women, the volume not only addresses questions of gendered rhetoric and agency but throws into relief general dynamics in the exercise of imperial power during a period in which the classical Mediterranean world at large, as well as the Roman monarchy, underwent crucial transformations.
Book Synopsis Diversity and Rabbinization by : Gavin McDowell
Download or read book Diversity and Rabbinization written by Gavin McDowell and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains Hebrew and Syriac text. Please, check that your e-reader supports texts set in left-to-right direction before purchasing the epub and azw3 editions of the book. This volume is dedicated to the cultural and religious diversity in Jewish communities from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Age and the growing influence of the rabbis within these communities during the same period. Drawing on available textual and material evidence, the fourteen essays presented here, written by leading experts in their fields, span a significant chronological and geographical range and cover material that has not yet received sufficient attention in scholarship. The volume is divided into four parts. The first focuses on the vantage point of the synagogue; the second and third on non-rabbinic Judaism in, respectively, the Near East and Europe; the final part turns from diversity within Judaism to the process of "rabbinization" as represented in some unusual rabbinic texts. Diversity and Rabbinization is a welcome contribution to the historical study of Judaism in all its complexity. It presents fresh perspectives on critical questions and allows us to rethink the tension between multiplicity and unity in Judaism during the first millennium CE. L’École Pratique des Hautes Études has kindly contributed to the publication of this volume.

Book Synopsis For the Freedom of Zion by : Guy MacLean Rogers
Download or read book For the Freedom of Zion written by Guy MacLean Rogers and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive account of the great revolt of Jews against Rome and the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple “A lucid yet terrifying account of the 'Jewish War'—the uprising of the Jews in 66 CE, and the Roman empire’s savage response, in a story that stretches from Rome to Jerusalem.”—John Ma, Columbia University This deeply researched and insightful book examines the causes, course, and historical significance of the Jews’ failed revolt against Rome from 66 to 74 CE, including the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. Based on a comprehensive study of all the evidence and new statistical data, Guy Rogers argues that the Jewish rebels fought for their religious and political freedom and lost due to military mistakes. Rogers contends that while the Romans won the war, they lost the peace. When the Romans destroyed the Jerusalem Temple, they thought that they had defeated the God of Israel and eliminated Jews as a strategic threat to their rule. Instead, they ensured the Jews’ ultimate victory. After their defeat Jews turned to the written words of their God, and following those words led the Jews to recover their freedom in the promised land. The war's tragic outcome still shapes the worldview of billions of people today.
