Abstract

This long-awaited companion volume to The Literature of the Sages , First Part (Fortress Press, 1987) brings to completion Section II of the renowned Compendia series. The Literature of the Sages, Second Part, explores the literary creation of thousands of ancient Jewish teachers, the often- anonymous Sages of late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Essays by premier scholars provide a careful and succinct analysis of the content and character of various documents, their textual and literary forms, with particular attention to the ongoing discovery and publication of new textual material. Incorporating groundbreaking developments in research, these essays give a comprehensive presentation published here for the first time. This volume will prove an important reference work for all students of ancient Judaism, the origins of Jewish tradition, and the Jewish background of Christianity. The literary creation of the ancient Jewish teachers or Sages – also ­called rabbinic literature – consists of the teachings of thousands of Sages, many of them anonymous. For a long period, their teachings existed orally, which implied a great deal of flexibility in arrangement and form. Only gradually, as parts of this amorphous oral tradition became fixed, was the literature written down, a process that began in the third century C.E. and continued into the Middle Ages. Thus the documents of ­rabbinic literature are the result of a remarkably long and complex process of creation and editing. This long-awaited companion volume to 'The Literature of the Sages, First Part' (1987) gives a careful and succinct analysis both of the content and specific nature of the various documents, and of their textual and literary forms, paying special attention to the continuing discovery and publication of new textual material. Incorporating ground-breaking developments in research, these essays give a comprehensive presentation published here for the first time. 'The Literature of the Sages, Second Part' is an important reference work for all students of ancient Judaism, as well as for those interested in the origins of Jewish tradition and the Jewish background of Christianity.

Abstract

Ben Sira prétendait que Siméon le Juste avait « fondé la double hauteur » de la Bible. Il entendait par là que, derrière le sens apparent de la narration biblique, le Grand Prêtre avait codé un sens allégorique que seuls les initiés pouvaient connaître, un sens caché conservé intact jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Les Evangélistes se souvenaient d’un vieillard nommé Siméon, qui était juste et qui devait attendre, aussi longtemps qu’il le faudrait, la venue du Sauveur annoncé par les Écritures. Lorsqu’il vit Jésus, il sut que cette attente interminable prenait fin, attesta que Jésus était bien ce Sauveur et demanda au Seigneur de le rappeler enfin à lui. Les Juifs se souvenaient également d’un personnage nommé Siméon le Juste. Pendant la première partie de sa vie il avait fait partie de la Grande Assemblée où siégeaient les derniers prophètes et avait parlé d’une seule voix avec eux, puis il s’était laissé séduire par les beautés de l’hellénisme, ce qui lui avait valu de mourir à la moitié de ses jours. Par des biais différents, Juifs et Chrétiens s’accordaient à faire de ce Siméon de légende le symbole d’un passé révolu. Derrière la légende se cache l’histoire d’un grand prêtre de la période hellénistique, Siméon fils d’Onias. Sa famille, originaire d’Egypte, avait obtenu des rois grecs d’Alexandrie la charge héréditaire de grand prêtre du Temple de Jérusalem, une charge que Siméon occupa de 220 à 195 avant notre ère. Pour Jésus ben Sira, son contemporain, il avait été, avant tout, celui qui «avait fondé la double hauteur», ce qui signifiait qu’il avait doublé le sens superficiel de la Bible hébraïque d’un sens allégorique caché sous les lettres même de l’Écriture. Aussi improbable que puisse nous paraître une telle thèse, elle méritait d’être vérifiée. Et effectivement, ce monument «à double hauteur» enfoui sous les alluvions de plus de vingt siècles d’histoire de l’interprétation du texte biblique est demeuré intact.

Abstract

Rabbinic texts are often cited in New Testament and Old Testament studies, but hitherto there has been no easy way for a student to grasp the scope and variety of the relevant rabbinic writings. This book introduces the student to the full range of the early rabbinic writings, with a thorough introduction and notes, so that both a bird's eye view of the literature as well as close aquaintance with typical and important texts can be obtained. This will enable the reader to embark on further study with a clearer orientation. The book also aims to correct many mistaken views about rabbinic Judaism arising from outdated conceptions of the relation between Christianity and Judaism.

Abstract

In Jethro and the Jews , Beatrice J. W. Lawrence examines rabbinic texts that address the biblical character of Jethro, a Midianite priest, Moses’ advisor and father-in-law, and the creator of the system of Jewish jurisprudence. Lawrence explores biblical interpretations in Midrash, Targum and Talmud, revealing a spectrum of responses to the presence of a man who straddles the line between insider and outsider. Ranging from character assassination to valorization of Jethro as a convert, these interpretive strategies reveal him to be a locus of anxiety for the rabbis concerning conversion, community boundaries, intermarriage, and non-Jews.

Abstract

Nazirites appear in a number of sources relevant to Judaism of the late Second Temple period. This book surveys the pertinent evidence and assesses what it reveals regarding the role of the Nazirite within Judaism of the late Second Temple and early Christian era. The survey is arranged according to three primary sections: “Direct Evidence for Nazirites”; “Possible and Tangential Evidence for Nazirites”; and a final section, “Making Sense of the Evidence.” It concludes by arguing that the role of the Nazirite portrayed in sources was that of a religious devotee, and concomitant with biblical law, Nazirite devotion typically involved flexibility, personal freedom of expression, and adaptation to outside cultural norms. Those interested in the Nazirite vow as portrayed in the New Testament and other relevant sources will find this study useful, as will those interested in Bible translation and interpretation in late Second Temple and early rabbinic literature.
