La Sagesse Mise À Lépreuve - La Visite De La Reine De Saba Dans Le Cycle De Salomon (1 Rois 2 11) : Une Comparaison Entre Le Texte Massorétique Et La Septante

by Emanuelle Pastore

~~101,40€~~ 91,26€ 10% OFF

 La péricope de la reine de Saba se rendant à Jérusalem pour éprouver Salomon par des énigmes (1 R 10,113) constitue la porte dentrée de cette étude. Celle-ci conduit à une réévaluation de la progression narrative du macro-récit sur Salomon en 1 R 211, à sa portée théologique, ainsi quà la reformulation de son histoire rédactionnelle, notamment des péricopes évoquant la sagesse du roi (1 R 3,1-28 ; 5,914 ; 10,113.2325). Lauteur prend part au débat toujours vif de la critique textuelle du livre des Rois. Les variantes entre le TM et la LXX au niveau de la péricope 10,113 et au niveau de lagencement de lensemble 1 R 211 suggèrent que le texte proto-massorétique constitue une nouvelle édition de la Vorlage de la LXX. Le rapport des femmes au Temple et à YHWH est envisagé si différemment dans les deux versions que cet aspect pourrait constituer une des raisons qui a conduit à produire une nouvelle édition. En définitive, cette étude est axée sur lhistoire du texte (critique textuelle) de 1 R 211, la construction littéraire de cet ensemble et les enjeux théologiques soulevés dans les deux versions textuelles, ainsi que la datation des principales interventions rédactionnelles.

Let Us Go To The Seer! - Prophecy, Scribal Culture, And The Invention Of Hebrew Scripture

by Ryan D. Schroeder

~~90,65€~~ 81,59€ 10% OFF

 Prophecy in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) has long been regarded as fundamentally different from the divinatory methods of ancient pagans: while the pagans sought out and solicited messages from the gods, the Hebrew prophets received revelation spontaneously, at the initiative of Israels deity. The trouble with this dichotomy between solicited and spontaneous revelation is that it overlooks or misreads a number of ancient sources, and it obscures the similarities between Hebrew and other societies of the ancient Middle East. In this book, Ryan D. Schroeder re-examines the evidence for prophecy both in the Hebrew Bible and in documents excavated in Israel/Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq since the late nineteenth century. He shows that prophecies were regularly solicited across ancient West Asia. Moreover, the spontaneity of Israelite revelation is largely a mirage produced by ancient Hebrew scribes and reinforced by modern scholars intent on establishing the uniqueness and superiority of biblical religion.

The Dynamics Of Early Judaean Law - Studies In The Diversity Of Ancient Social And Communal Legislation

~~95,26€~~ 85,73€ 10% OFF

 This collection of essays explores aspects of civil and criminal law in ancient Judaea. Whereas the majority of studies on Judaean law focus on biblical law codes (and, therefore, on laws related to sacrifice, cultic purity, and personal piety) this volume focus on laws related to the social and economic dealings of Judaeans in the Neo-Babylonian, Persian, and Greco-Roman periods and on the contribution of epigraphic and archival sources and to the study of this material.

Jewish Manuscripts, Prayers And Scholars - An Anthology Of Historical, Linguistic And Liturgical Essays

by Stefan C. Reif

~~90,65€~~ 81,59€ 10% OFF

 The introduction offers some thoughts on each of the four areas covered by the essays and draws some broad conclusions. Studies of the history of manuscripts and of their acquisition demonstrate their impact on research into Jewish studies and on modern Judaisms understanding of itself. What emerges from liturgical studies here included is how important it is not only to analyze texts but also to identify overall historical, geographical and cultural developments. Prayer may have been used as an educational tool and, in turn, influenced educational ideas and agendas. The liturgical themes that occur and recur over the centuries (and especially in the talmudic and medieval periods) reflect the ideological and theological notions that lie behind prayer texts and the variant forms that they take. Some common prayers are seen to include concepts of time, views of creation, attitudes to non-Jews and definitions of Jewish peoplehood. The appreciations of some leading modern scholars of Jewish studies set them in their educational, historical and religious contexts and indicate what they had in common as experts in scientific Jewish studies as well as what remained individual about their lives, research publications and achievements.

Ezekiel'S Sign-Acts - Methods And Interpretation

~~129,19€~~ 116,27€ 10% OFF

 The Ezekiel passages describing the instructions for, and dramatization of, divine messages (Ezekiel 3-5; 12; 24; 37) are among the most bizarre in the Hebrew Bible. The prophet is commanded to embody his message of judgment to Jerusalem, and these actions clarify the oracles they surround. Yet, these sign-acts are frequently overlooked within Ezekiel studies, which tend to focus on the book’s strange visions and controversial oracles. This volume addresses the growing diversity in approaches in Ezekiel studies by inviting international senior and junior scholars to focus on the texts concerning Ezekiel’s sign-acts. It aims to redirect scholarly attention to these often-ignored texts, which stand so central to understanding the nature of prophecy as well as the overall book of Ezekiel.

Qui Aura Sa Vie Comme Butin? - Échos Narratifs Et Révélation Dans La Lecture Des Oracles Personnels De Jérémie

by Erwan Chauty

~~163,64€~~ 130,91€ 20% OFF

 In this research, the oracles destined to five secondary characters are analyzed by reframing them synchronically into their narrative context. The book opens with two preambles, at the crossing of narrative theory, Hebrew syntax, and specificities of Jr : the characteristics and relations of the literary forms of narration and reported speech ; the different types of characters along the history of literature and the best-fitted categories for analyzing Jr’s characters. Then are studied the oracles intended for Pashhur, Ebed-Melech, Baruch, Gedaliah, and Zedekiah. The "character-effect" soon appears to be quite limited, calling for a solution situated out of the fabula to the puzzle created by the narration. The causality for the divine judgments expressed in the oracles can be reconstructed thanks to the discovery of verbal echoes and resonances between preceding oracles and the narrativization of characters. This exegetical result intersects with the theology of revelation and challenges the paradigms upon which it was built both at the beginning of Christianism and at Vatican II. The thinking of the revelation of the paternity of God can be founded anew upon a theological interpretation of the reader’s new capacities.

These characteristic features originate from the universalism of creation theology of the Holiness Code: the sabbatical year law in Leviticus aims to practice the Gods creation order in Gn 12,4a in human history. Moreover, this law functions as a criterion of the interpretation of the history of Israel; the exilic tragedy in Babylonia has been caused by the negligence of the rest of the Israels land. The study on the sabbatical year law in Leviticus contributes not only to the research on the compositional history of the Hebrew Bible, but also offers the precious messages on the political, socio-economic, and ecological problems in our times.</body></html>

Talio Esto - Recherches Sur Les Origines De La Formule 'Oeil Pour Oeil, Dent Pour Dent' Dans Les Droits Du Proche-Orient Ancien, Et Sur Son Devenir Dans Le Monde G

It attempts to show that talionic justice was not simply a theory of punishment, but also existed as a restorative justice model. The argument for this interpretation of the talionic formula rests on analysis of the salient Biblical verses in the light of the cuneiform models and also utilizes more recent evidence from the Mediterranean region dating from the first centuries of the Christian era. Talionic justice emerges as a complete and constructive principle of justice from the time of its inception, one that cannot be reduced solely to its punitive elements.</body></html>

Rétribution Et Intercession Dans Le Deutéronome

by Vincent Sénéchal

~~316,68€~~ 253,34€ 20% OFF

 <html> <head><meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head> <body> In this book Vincent Sénéchal presents a detailed inquiry to solve an enigma: Why does the retelling of the Golden Calf narrative in Deut. 9-10 keep silent on the punishments described in the original account of Exod. 32-34? The absence of punishment in Deut. 9-10 is more than surprising in Deuteronomy, since its theology is strongly oriented to obedience to the law given by YHWH and since it stresses particularly the seriousness of violation of the first commandment. This dissertation aims to investigate the reasons why such an omission occurred in the course of the redactional process and in what sense it is meaningful for the characterization of divine justice in the whole book. The author first offers a comprehensive state of recent exegetical research on Deuteronomy and the Pentateuch. In the course of the investigation, he reflects on categories such as sin, retribution and intercession and analyses the different kinds of retribution present in the book. He then studies the redaction history of Deut. 9:7-10:11 and describes its place and function both in the composition of the Pentateuch and in the history of Israel during the first decades of the Persian period. This historical contextualization leads to several hypotheses to solve the puzzling enigma. </body> </html>

Le Livre D’Amos - La Place Et La Fonction Des Éléments Supposés Tardifs

by Nicodème Bakimani Kolani

~~168,28€~~ 134,62€ 20% OFF

 Lire le livre d’Amos comme une œuvre cohérente est le défi majeur de l’exégèse contemporaine. Cette étude montre que les exégètes sont parvenus à la conviction que lire le livre d’Amos comme un tout est la voie la mieux indiquée pour entrer dans son processus d’interprétation. Le premier chapitre est consacré aux approches diachroniques qui tentent de reconstituer les ipsissima verba du prophète Amos. Ces travaux conduisent au morcellement du livre en de petits fragments et à la dévalorisation des passages perçus comme secondaires. Le second chapitre révèle que les études synchroniques ne s’accordent pas sur la structure du livre. Les trois derniers chapitres consacrés à l’analyse des textes souvent tenus pour secondaires cherchent à montrer que, loin d’être des éléments inopportuns, ces passages sont accordés à leurs contextes et que leur présence est essentielle à l’équilibre littéraire et théologique du livre. En révélant la place primordiale de ces neuf passages, cette monographie dévoile que le sacrifice d’un seul de ces éléments désarticulerait son unité littéraire et théologique. Cet ouvrage présente un état de recherche exhaustive sur le livre d’Amos et ouvre de nouvelles pistes de lecture de ce texte prophétique.

Speaking To Job In Greek - Text, Translation Technique, Literary And Theological Profile Of Og Job 38:1-42:6

by Maximilian Häberlein

~~132,50€~~ 119,25€ 10% OFF

 This study investigates the Old Greek translation of Job regarding its text, Vorlage, translation technique, literary contexts, and theological profile. To situate OG Job within its ancient contexts, both the strategies employed by the translators and the literary profile of the translated text have to be taken into account. Thus, an approach is employed encompassing a thick description of translational strategies; and a reading of the translated text in its own right. This framework is applied in an investigation of God’s answer to Job in OG Job 38:1-42:6. The results show that the translators worked from a Vorlage similar to, but not fully identical with MT, and produced a coherent, stylized text. The transformations undertaken, including double translations, intertextual renderings, minuses, small-scale rewritings and paraphrases, can be situated in an environment influenced by Greek educational and philological practices, but are also deeply indebted to Jewish scribal traditions. While not introducing sweeping theological changes, the translation nevertheless shows a tendency to emphasize divine sovereignty. The study thus contributes to a deeper understanding of this important witness to the book of Job an Jewish literature in the Hellenistic period.

Esther Against Joseph'S Backdrop - The Theology And History Of An Intertextual Relationship

by Gabriel Fischer Hornung

~~113,29€~~ 101,96€ 10% OFF

 An examination of MT Esther’s relationship to the Joseph story, this study employs recent advances in author-oriented biblical intertextuality to address the debate concerning the religious purpose of the Scroll. While previous scholarship has seen Esther’s divine silence indicating God’s hidden hand, the characters’ or readers’ quiet faiths, or the secular concerns of an ancient Jewish nationalism, key aspects of Esther’s allusive character illustrate how the book purposefully constructs a theology of divine absence. As good-looking Israelites continue to rise in foreign courts to deliver themselves and their people from imminent dangers, the patterns God initiated in the Egyptian past are shown to extend into the Persian present even when the divine remains out of sight. Since this diachronically-oriented analysis suggests this theological interest was developed by Esther’s authors, it engages with Esther’s ancient Greek witnesses to demonstrate that the MT redactors altered an earlier version of the Scroll to position the Hebrew Megillah alongside Joseph’s instructive backdrop. By attending to these historical and interpretive issues, this work thus speaks to both Scroll scholarship and the study of inner-biblical allusions.

Judah'S Desire And The Making Of The Abrahamic Israel - A Contextual And Functional Approach

by Hong Guk-Pyoung

~~129,19€~~ 103,35€ 20% OFF

 In this refreshing exploration of Judah’s identity formation, the emphasis is placed on the psychological underpinnings of Judah’s sentiments towards Israel, aiming to illuminate the significance of Judah''s appropriation of Israel. Richly contextual, this book draws parallels observed in Asian contexts, notably those of North and South Korea, and China with its marginal Others. Central to the thesis is that Judah’s perceived inferiority to Israel played a crucial role in its quest to appropriate Israel’s legacy and identity. Adopting a functionalist lens, Judah’s rewriting of Israel’s ancestral past is examined. The Abraham and Jacob traditions are understood as competing "identity narratives," serving as critical discursive tools to construct their pasts. The study scrutinizes how the southern Abraham tradition fundamentally reoriented the Jacob tradition, North Israel’s standalone ancestral myth. Set against the broader canvas of continued efforts to redefine and embody "Israel" within the history of Judeo-Christian religions, this exploration underscores how Judah''s pivotal appropriation of Israel has established a paradigm for all future endeavors of "becoming Israel."

Judah In The Biblical Period - Historical, Archaeological, And Biblical Studies Selected Essays

by Oded Lipschits

~~169,60€~~ 135,68€ 20% OFF

 The collection of essays in this book represents more than twenty years of research on the history and archeology of Judah, as well as the study of the Biblical literature written in and about the period that might be called the "Age of Empires". This 600-year-long period, when Judah was a vassal Assyrian, Egyptian and Babylonian kingdom and then a province under the consecutive rule of the Babylonian, Persian, Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires, was the longest and the most influential in Judean history and historiography. The administration that was shaped and developed during this period, the rural economy, the settlement pattern and the place of Jerusalem as a small temple, surrounded by a small settlement of (mainly) priests, Levites and other temple servants, characterize Judah during most of its history. This is the formative period when most of the Hebrew Bible was written and edited, when the main features of Judaism were shaped and when Judean cult and theology were created and developed. The 36 papers contained in this book present a broad picture of the Hebrew Bible against the background of the Biblical history and the archeology of Judah throughout the six centuries of the "Age of Empires".

When God Wanted To Destroy The Chosen People - Biblical Traditions And Theology On The Move

by Gili Kugler

~~146,41€~~ 117,13€ 20% OFF

 According to narratives in the Bible the threats of the people’s end come from various sources, but the most significant threat comes, as learned from the Pentateuch, from God himself. What is the theological meaning of this tradition? In what circumstances did it evolve? How did it stand alongside other theological and socio-political concepts known to the ancient authors and their diverse audience? The book employs a diachronic method that explores the stages of the tradition’s formation and development, revealing the authors’ exegetical purposes and ploys, and tracing the historical realities of their time. The book proposes that the motif of the threat of destruction existed in various forms prior to the creation of the stories recorded in the final text of the Pentateuch. The inclusion of the motif within specific literary contexts attenuated the concept of destruction by presenting it as a phenomenon of specific moments in the past. Nevertheless, the threat was resurrected repeatedly by various authors, for use as a precedent or a justification for present affliction.

David In The Desert - Tradition And Redaction In The “History Of David’S Rise"

~~159,66€~~ 127,73€ 20% OFF

 In the course of the last two decades, both the historical reconstruction of the Iron I-Iron IIA period in Israel and Judah and the literary-historical reconstruction of the Books of Samuel have undergone major changes. With respect to the quest for the "historical David", terms like "empire" or "Großreich" have been set aside in favor of designations like "mercenary" or "hapiru leader", corresponding to the image of the son of Jesse presented in I Sam. At the same time, the literary-historical classification of these chapters has itself become a matter of considerable discussion. As Leonhard Rost’s theory of a source containing a "History of David’s Rise" continues to lose support, it becomes necessary to pose the question once again: Are we dealing with a once independent ‘story of David’ embracing both the HDR and the "succession narrative" are there several independent versions of an HDR to be detected, or do I Sam 16-II Sam 5* constitute a redactional bridge between older traditions about Saul on the one hand and David on the other? In either case, what parts of the material in I Sam 16-II Sam 5 are based on ancient traditions, and may therefore serve as a source for any tentative historical reconstruction? The participants in the 2018 symposium at Jena whose essays are collected in this volume engage these questions from different redaction-critical and archaeological perspectives. Together, they provide an overview of contemporary historical research on the book of First Samuel.

Scribes As Sages And Prophets - Scribal Traditions In Biblical Wisdom Literature And In The Book Of The Twelve

~~163,64€~~ 130,91€ 20% OFF

 Scholars of the Hebrew Bible used to look at „Prophecy" and „Wisdom" as clearly distinct realms represented by antagonistic and mutually exclusive roles of their central characters: the loyal sage, the pillar of administration, on the one side and the rebellious prophet, criticizing the establishment, on the other. While the influence of wisdom thought on prophetic texts has been a topic in the scholarly debate, the complementary question of the influence of prophetic thought on wisdom texts has rarely been asked. The contributions in this volume look at both questions: They start from the assumption that texts from the Hebrew Bible and the cultures surrounding Ancient Israel all originated from a social stratum of educated scribes, who authored and transmitted these texts. It then seems plausible that wisdom texts might show similar traces of prophetic influence to those of wisdom thoughts found in prophetic texts. The essays give a multifaceted picture concerning the mutual perception of prophets and sages and thus provide a deeper understanding of both wisdom literature and prophecy.
