Works on Old Testament historiography, the 'Conquest', and the origins of ancient Israel have burgeoned in recent days. But while others have been issuing new reconstructions this novel work presents a close reading of the biblical text. The focus is on the literary techniques that ancient writers employed in narrating stories of conquest, and the aim is to pinpoint their communicative intentions in their own contexts. This reading is enhanced by engagement with the important discipline of the philosophy of history. Ancient Conquest accounts, replete with extensive quotations from Assyrian, Hi

Historians of religion face complex interpretive issues when examining religious texts, practices, and experiences. Faithful Narratives presents the work of twelve eminent scholars whose research has exemplified compelling strategies for negotiating the difficulties inherent in this increasingly important area of historical inquiry. The chapters range chronologically from Late Antiquity to modern America and thematically from the spirituality of near eastern monks to women's agency in religion, considering familiar religious communities alongside those on the margins and bringing a range of spiritual and religious practices into historical focus.Focusing on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the essays address matters central to the study of religion in history, in particular texts and traditions of authority, interreligious discourse, and religious practice and experience. Some examine mainstream communities and traditions, others explore individuals who crossed religious or confessional boundaries, and still others study the peripheries of what is considered orthodox religious tradition. Encompassing a wide geographical as well as chronological scope, Faithful Narratives illustrates the persistence of central themes and common analytical challenges for historians working in all periods.Contributors: Peter Brown, Princeton University; Nina Caputo, University of Florida; Carlos Eire, Yale University; Susanna Elm, University of California, Berkeley; Anthony Grafton, Princeton University; Susannah Heschel, Dartmouth College; Phyllis Mack, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Kenneth Mills, University of Toronto; David Nirenberg, University of Chicago; Mark A.

What came before 'postmodernism' in historical studies? By thinking through the assumptions, methods and cast of mind of English historians writing between about 1870 and 1970, this book reveals the intellectual world of the modernists and offers a full analysis of English historiography in this crucial period. Modernist historiography set itself the objective of going beyond the colourful narratives of 'whigs' and 'popularizers' in order to establish history as the queen of the humanities and as a rival to the sciences as a vehicle of knowledge. Professor Bentley does not follow those who deride modernism as 'positivist' or 'empiricist' but instead shows how it set in train brilliant new styles of investigation that transformed how historians understood the English past. But he shows how these strengths were eventually outweighed by inherent confusions and misapprehensions that threatened to kill the very subject that the modernists had intended to sustain.

L’Histoire religieuse est devenue, pour les périodes moderne et contemporaine, un secteur de recherche historique particulièrement active dans l’Université française. Colloques, thèses, éditions scientifiques de documents, se sont multipliés au cours des dernières décennies, permettant la reconnaissance des facteurs religieux dans l’histoire. Etienne Fouilloux a pu évoquer « une percée de l’histoire religieuse en France ». Il est important, d’un point de vue méthodologique, de ne pas réduire les recherches aux observations franco-françaises, particulièrement face aux phénomènes religieux qui ont une dimension universelle. Or les historiographies ont trop souvent tendance à s’ignorer et à n’évoluer que dans un cadre national. Dans les limites géographiques et thématiques qui sont les siennes (de nombreux espaces sont absents, et le propos se limite pour l’essentiel au christianisme), ce volume propose d’établir des ponts entre des universitaires confrontés à des question semblables, mais qui restent séparés par les logiques nationales, voire par les langues. L’équipe Religions, Sociétés et Acculturation (RESEA) du Laboratoire de Recherche historique Rhône-Alpes (LARHRA, UMR 5190) a donc organisé deux Journées d’Études en 2008 et 2009, afin de confronter les points de vue, à partir de cadres nationaux divers : pays où l’histoire religieuse occupe une place notable et quasiment traditionnelle dans le paysage universitaire (Belgique, Italie, Allemagne, Suisse, Pays-Bas), la France où elle s’insère dans la dimension laïque, des pays où elle a été confrontée au contrôle et à l’instrumentalisation de la dictature (Pologne, Espagne), l’Afrique où le poids de l’histoire missionnaire et de la colonisation reste grand, l’Amérique du Nord où elle s’est développée dans un contexte de grande diversité religieuse. Les approches, les thématiques, les évolutions sont différentes, les méthodes restent proches.

The aspiration to relate the past 'as it really happened' has been the central goal of American professional historians since the late nineteenth century. In this remarkable history of the profession, Peter Novick shows how the idea and ideal of objectivity were elaborated, challenged, modified, and defended over the last century. Drawing on the unpublished correspondence as well as the published writings of hundreds of American historians from J. Franklin Jameson and Charles Beard to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and Eugene Genovese, That Noble Dream is a richly textured account of what American historians have thought they were doing, or ought to be doing, when they wrote history - how their principles influenced their practice and practical exigencies influenced their principles.

History provides one way of marking time. But there are others, and the Judaism of the dual Torah, set forth in the Rabbinic literature from the Mishnah through the Talmud of Babylonia, ca. 200-600 C.E., defines one such alternative. This book tells the story of how a historical way of thinking about past, present, and future, time and eternity, the here and now in relationship to the ages, « that is, Scripture's way of thinking » gave way to another mode of thought altogether. This other model Neusner calls a paradigm, because a pattern imposed meaning and order on things that happened. Paradigmatic modes of thought took the place of historical ones. Thinking through paradigms, with a conception of time that elides past and present and removes all barriers between them, in fact governs the reception of Scripture in Judaism until nearly our own time. Neusner here explains through the single case of Rabbinic Judaism, precisely how that other way of reading Scripture did its work, and why, for so many centuries, that reading of the heritage of ancient Israel governed. At stake are [1] a conception of time different from the historical one and [2] premises on how to take the measure of time that form a legitimate alternative to those that define the foundations of the historical way of measuring time. Fully exposed, those alternative premises may prove as logical and compelling as the historical ones. The approach follows the documentary history of ideas, and individual chapters describe the treatment of historical topics in the Mishnah, the Talmud of the Land of Israel (a.k.a., the Yerushalmi), Genesis Rabbah, that is, ca. 200, 400, and 450 CE, and Pesiqta deRab Kahana, ca. 500 CE.

Historiographical documents from Ancient Greece have existed at least since the time of Herodotus; an historical awareness developed before his time, as evidenced in historical omnia, epic literature from Mesopotamia, in the texts of Hittite letters and treaties, and in Egyptian sources. The book explores the conceptual and formal characteristics of texts from different contexts and epochs from the 3rd millennium until the 5th century AD, together with the evolution of historical awareness and interest in historiography.

Die Arbeit bietet die erste Untersuchung aller heptadisch strukturierten Geschichtsentwürfe aus der Zeit des Zweiten Tempels. Behandelt werden Dan 9, das äthiopische Henochbuch, das Jubiläenbuch, die Qumrantexte und das Testament Levis. Durch detaillierte Einzelexegesen wird gezeigt, dass jeder Text ein individuelles geschichtstheologisches Profil aufweist. Im Hintergrund der zu verzeichnenden Gemeinsamkeiten steht keine universell gültige Referenzchronologie, sondern die Arbeit mit denselben chronologischen Traditionen, die je nach theologischem Interesse überformt werden. This study presents the first analysis of all the heptadically structured models of Jewish history from the time of the Second Temple. It deals with Daniel 9, the Ethiopian Book of Henoch, the Book of Jubilees, the Qumran texts and the Testament of Levi. Detailed individual exegesis shows that each text displays an individual theology of history. There is no universally valid reference chronology behind those commonalities which can be registered; instead, the writers work with the same chronological traditions, but restructure them according to their own theological interests.
