Back cover: The biblical books Ezra and Nehemiah are not highly regarded because of a painful point. In both books, a call can be found to put an end to marriages with foreign, or strange women. This commentary wants to understnad that summons in the context of the world at that time and to show that other themes play a role in Ezra and Nehemiah. In the time after the return from the Babylonian exile Israel had to search for a new identity. It was found around the temple and from the Torah of Moses which was appropriated for a new era.

In his third volume of collected essays, the former Professor of Hebrew Bible at Edinburgh University assembles studies published since 2017. With one significant modification (on the first Jeroboam), they develop the twin theses of his 2017 monograph, Life in Kings: that the material common to the books of Samuel-Kings and Chronicles is both untypical of Samuel-Kings as a whole and the major source out of which they developed. Most importantly, these fresh essays explore the DNA of what Graeme Auld calls the Book of Two Houses (BoTH): some 150 uniquely paired words (including names) and phrases that occur in its reports of only two kings. The final extended essay (not previously published) sets these pairings in their context throughout the book. As the artistry of this foundational text is revealed, fresh historical questions call for answers.

"Das 5. Buch Esra gehört wohl zu den am wenigsten bearbeiteten 'jüdisch/christlichen' Apokryphen des (wahrscheinlich) 2. Jahrhunderts unserer Zeitrechnung. Dabei wird der Text gemeinsam mit 4 Esra im Anhang der Vulgata überliefert und zeigt vielfältige Beziehungen zu kanonisch gewordenen Texten auf. Auf eben solche Bezugnahmen blickt diese Arbeit und untersucht intertextuelle Bezüge zwischen 5 Esra und dem Buch Baruch, Jeremia 7, dem Matthäus-Evangelium, der Offenbarung des Johannes und 4 Esra. Dabei stehen grö�ere und grundsätzliche Fragen im Hintergrund: Wie lässt sich die 'Kommunikation' verschiedener Texte miteinander erfassen? In welchem Verhältnis stehen 'prophetische' und 'apokalyptische' Texte zueinander? Wie ist das Verhältnis von 'Christentum' und 'Judentum' im zweiten Jahrhundert zu denken? Und wie spiegelt sich die Beziehung und vielleicht auch die Spannung zwischen Israel und der 'Kirche' in den Texten dieser Zeit wider? Spuren für mögliche Antworten sind in 5 Esra, dieser spannenden, kurzen und oft unterschätzten Schrift erkennbar."--

Scheduled to appear in 10 volumes, the scholarly edition of Cotton Mather's Biblia Americana (1693–1728) makes available for the first time the oldest comprehensive commentary on the Bible composed in British North America. Combining encyclopaedic discussions of biblical scholarship with scientific speculations and pietistic concerns, the Biblia represents one of the most significant untapped sources in American religious and intellectual history. Mather's commentary not only reflects the growing influence of Enlightenment thought (Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, and Newton) and the rise of the transatlantic evangelical awakening; it also marks the beginnings of historical criticism of the Bible as text in New England. The third volume of the Biblia Americana contains some 1250 of Mather's »illustrations,« as he called them, on the books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. It follows volumes presenting Mather's extensive commentaries on Genesis (vol. 1) and on Exodus through Deuteronomy (vol. 2, will be published in 2016), both edited by Reiner Smolinski. These entries reveal Mather as a sacred historian, marshaling an array of approaches and disciplines to illuminate and defend the Scripture accounts. He revisits certain themes throughout such as idols and idolatry, parallels between the Hebrew Bible and the history and mythology of »pagan« cultures, and typological significations of events and characters. Other topics warranted sustained attention in a long entry or a series of entries, such as accounts of when the sun stood still, human sacrifice, as instanced in Jephthah's vow, the building, running, and destruction of Solomon's Temple, the nature of prophecy, the dispersion of the Israelites in captivity, and the timing of their eventual return.
