Abstract

Das Buch behandelt die in der Forschung umstrittene Frage, ob es sich bei der personifizierten Weisheit in der Sapientia Salomonis bereits um eine Hypostase oder lediglich um eine Vorstufe im Sinne einer poetischen Personifikation handelt. Auf die traditionsgeschichtliche Analyse der einschlägigen Weisheitstexte in Prov 1-9, Hiob 28, Sirach 1,1-10 und 24 folgt die Auslegung der zentralen Texte der Sapientia Salomonis (Sap 1,1-10; 7,1-8,1; 9,1-18 und 10,1-11,1). Da in der jüdischen Spätschrift zahlreiche philosophische Anleihen zu finden sind, muss auch im Blick auf den Weisheitsbegriff und das damit verbundene Problem der Vermittlung zwischen Gott und Mensch mit einer Beeinflussung durch die Vorstellungen der zeitgenössischen Philosophie (mittlere Stoa: Poseidonios von Apamea; mittlerer Platonismus: Antiochos von Askalon, Eudoros von Alexandrien) gerechnet werden. The author addresses the controversial question of whether the personification of wisdom in the Sapientia Salomonis already represents a hypostasis or whether it is merely a preliminary stage in the sense of a poetic personification. Following an analysis of the historical traditions of the relevant wisdom texts in Proverbs 1-9, Job 28, Ecclesiasticus 1:1-10 and 24, the author proceeds to interpret the central texts of the Sapientia Salomonis (Wisdom 1:1-10; 7:1-8:1; 9:1-18 and 0:1-11:1). When looking at the concept of wisdom and the associated problem of the mediation between God and the human being, one must assume that there are influences from contemporary philosophy, as numerous philosophical borrowings are to be found in the late Jewish text (Middle Stoa: Poseidonios of Apamea; Middle Platonism: Antiochos of Ascalon, Eudoros of Alexandria).

Abstract

Central to debates about Jesus is the issue of whether he uniquely embodies the divine. While this discussion continues unabated, both those who affirm and those who dismiss, Jesus' divinity regularly eclipse the reality that in many of the earliest strands of the Christian tradition when Jesus' divinity is proclaimed, Jesus is imaged as the female divine. Sally Douglas investigates these early texts, excavates the motivations for imaging Jesus as Woman Wisdom and the complex reasons that this began to be suppressed in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The work concludes with an exploration of the powerful implications of engaging with the ancient proclamation of Jesus-Woman Wisdom in contemporary context.

Abstract

"In Sirach and Its Contexts an international cohort of experts on the book of Sirach locate this second-century BCE Jewish wisdom text in its various contexts: literary, historical, philosophical, textual, cultural, and political. First compiled by a Jewish sage around 185 BCE, this instruction enjoyed a vibrant ongoing reception history through the middle ages up to the present, resulting in a multiform textual tradition as it has been written, rewritten, transmitted, and studied. Sirach was not composed as a book in the modern sense but rather as an ongoing stream of tradition. Heretofore studied largely in confessional settings as part of the Deuterocanonical literature, this volume brings together essays that take a broadly humanistic approach, in order to understand what an ancient wisdom text can teach us about the pursuit of wisdom and human flourishing"--
