Abstract

Der Prophet als Autor ist in der europäischen Literatur und Kunst eine prominente Figur von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart; er wurde jedoch in der ausgedehnten Autorschaftsdebatte der letzten Jahrzehnte kaum angemessen beachtet. Zwei Typen haben das Bild prophetischer Autorschaft geprägt: einerseits der alttestamentliche Prophet, wie er zuerst als Autorität, dann auch als Autor in der jüdischen Schrifttradition etabliert wurde (wie Moses, David, die vier großen und die zwölf kleinen Propheten), und andererseits der inspirierte, vom Enthusiasmus erfüllte Seher-Dichter (vates) von Platon bis in die pagane Spätantike. Der Band verfolgt diese Modelle des göttlich inspirierten und legitimierten Autors in ihren situationsbedingten Modifikationen und immer neuen Funktionen durch wechselnde historische Kontexte, um im interdisziplinären Vergleich diese Autorrollen in diversen religiösen und politischen Gemeinschaften und ihrer Schriftproduktion genauer zu beschreiben. Prophetisches Charisma behauptet vor allem in Krisen- und Umbruchzeiten seinen Anspruch auf kritische Gegenwartsanalyse, Zukunftsdeutung und Heilsversprechen. Formen der Autorisierung prophetischer Rede in einer doppelten Autorschaft, die besondere Hermeneutik prophetischer Schriften sowie Vorbehalte gegenüber Pseudoprophetentum bis hin zu kritisch-ironischem Umgang mit den alten prophetischen Traditionen sind Themen der Beiträge von namhaften Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der Theologie, der Klassischen, Mittellateinischen und Neulateinischen Philologie, der Germanistik, Romanistik, Arabistik und Allgemeinen Literaturwissenschaft sowie der Geschichte. Der Band entstand im Rahmen des Exzellenzclusters "Religion und Politik in den Kulturen der Vormoderne und Moderne" an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster.

Abstract

Rather than studying the LXX of Hosea mainly as a text-critical resource for the Hebrew or as a help for interpreting the Hebrew, this commentary, as part of the Septuagint Commentary Series, primarily examines the Greek text of Hosea as an artifact in its own right to seek to determine how it would have been understood by early Greek readers who were unfamiliar with the Hebrew. This commentary is based on the uncorrected text of Vaticanus, and it contains a copy of that text with notes discussing readings that differ from modern editions of the LXX along with a literal translation of that text. This commentary also has an introduction to the Minor Prophets in the Septuagint. It is relevant for anyone studying the LXX or the book of Hosea.

Abstract

Prophets of the Great Spirit offers an in-depth look at the work of a diverse group of Native American visionaries who forged new, syncretic religious movements that provided their peoples with the ideological means to resist white domination. By blending ideas borrowed from Christianity with traditional beliefs, they transformed "high" gods or a distant and aloof creator into a powerful, activist deity that came to be called the Great Spirit. These revitalization leaders sought to regain the favor of the Great Spirit through reforms within their societies and the inauguration of new ritual pr
