Abstract

This volume offers a womanist and feminist analysis of the books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah, attending to translation and textual issues, use of power and agency, and constructions of gender and its significance for the real and metaphorical women in the texts. The unit on Nahum takes an unflinching look at God's role and rhetoric in the rape of Nineveh and considers implications for the women of Nineveh and Israel and for contemporary readers. Habakkuk is read employing a womanist stratagem, talking back to God. The section on Zephaniah explores the racialized history of interpreting "Cushi" in Zephaniah's genealogy and the figures of Daughter Zion/Jerusalem. The commentary also assesses these texts as scriptures of synagogue and church, their use and utility. A Jewish feminist reading and womanist hermeneutic accompanies each biblical book.

Abstract

Der Band untersucht die Thematisierung von "Armut" in Qumran, im Psalter sowie in prophetischen Texten (Jes, Jer und Zef) und die sich darin abzeichnenden religiösen Konfliktlagen. Dabei wird die in neueren Arbeiten verstärkt vertretene These überprüft, daß für die sogenannte "Armenfrömmigkeit" eine Art Armenbewegung in ausgebeuteten, völlig verarmten und verelendeten Unterschichtskreisen zu veranschlagen sei. Die vorliegende Veröffentlichung kommt zu dem Ergebnis, daß das "Armsein" eine religiös fundierte Existenzweise ist. Die Defizite, über die geklagt wird, sind nicht materieller Art. Da mehrfach theologische Positionen und Oppositionen der Armenfrömmigkeit an die Qumran-Essener erinnern, ist es keineswegs abwegig, dort geradezu eine Strukturparallele zur Armenfrömmigkeit wahrzunehmen und geistes- bzw. theologiegeschichtliche Zusammenhänge herzustellen. This study examines the thematisation of "poverty" in the Qumran, the Psalms and in the Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zephaniah) and the emerging religious conflict situation. It tests the thesis presented to an increasing degree in recent research that the so-called "piety of the poor" pre-supposes some "paupers' movement" among the exploited and destitute under-classes. The author concludes that "poverty" is a form of existence with a religious foundation. The deficits which are bemoaned are not material in nature. As a number of the theological positions and oppositions of the piety of the poor are reminiscent of the Qumran Essenes, it is not unreasonable to see there a structural parallel to the piety of the poor and to postulate historical connections of an intellectual and a theological nature.

Abstract

Although many scholars recognize literary similarities between Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah, defining the compositional relationship between these texts remains a matter of debate. Following the scholarly trajectory of exploring the compositional relationship between the Twelve prophets, several scholars argue that these four prophetic texts formed a precursory collection to the Book of the Twelve. Yet even among advocates for this ‘Book of the Four’ there remain differences in defining the form and function of the collection. By reexamining the literary parallels between these texts, Werse shows how different methodological convictions have led to the diverse composition models in the field today. Through careful consideration of emerging insights in the study of deuteronomism and scribalism, Werse provides an innovative composition model explaining how these four texts came to function as a collection in the wake of the traumatic destruction of Jerusalem. This volume explores a historic function of these prophetic voices by examining the editorial process that drew them together.
