Abstract

This ground-breaking study offers a reassessment of Moses' book of the law from a narrative theory perspective. Concerned for the long-term viability of his people, Moses legislates a public reading of his document which is deposited next to the ark of the covenant as a national testament. Through the mechanics of narrative mediation, the narrator reveals to the reader of Deuteronomy the contents of Moses' enshrined publication. Deuteronomy's simulcast of Moses' book invites external readers to compare and evaluate their readings with story-world readers who access the same text within the Bible's Primary Narrative.

Abstract

King Jehoiachin, the last Judahite king exiled to Babylon, became the focus of conflicting hopes and fears about a revived Davidic kingship after the exile. As Sensenig demonstrates, this conflict stemmed from a drastic oracle from Jeremiah that seemed to categorically reject Jehoiachin, while the canon records that he not only survived but thrived in exile.

Abstract

According to narratives in the Bible the threats of the people's end come from various sources, but the most significant threat comes, as learned from the Pentateuch, from God himself. What is the theological meaning of this tradition? In what circumstances did it evolve? How did it stand alongside other theological and socio-political concepts known to the ancient authors and their diverse audience?The book employs a diachronic method that explores the stages of the tradition's formation and development, revealing the authors' exegetical purposes and ploys, and tracing the historical realities of their time.The book proposes that the motif of the threat of destruction existed in various forms prior to the creation of the stories recorded in the final text of the Pentateuch. The inclusion of the motif within specific literary contexts attenuated the concept of destruction by presenting it as a phenomenon of specific moments in the past. Nevertheless, the threat was resurrected repeatedly by various authors, for use as a precedent or a justification for present affliction.

Abstract

Die Studie entwickelt ein neues Modell der Entstehung der Erzählungen um das Ende des davidisch-salomonischen Großreichs und den Anfang der beiden Reiche im Norden und Süden. Ausgangspunkt ist eine intensive Diskussion der textlichen Bezeugung, in die neben den hebräischen Texten insbesondere die verschiedenen griechischen Überlieferungen, aber auch die syrische und lateinische Texttradition einbezogen werden. Dabei wird methodisch nicht einfach ein Kunsttext rekonstruiert, sondern mit parallelen Textversionen gerechnet, die in die weitere Analyse einzubeziehen sind. Gerade dadurch ergeben sich darauf aufbauend neue Einsichten in den Charakter der einzelnen Erzählungen, sodass sich 1Kön 11-14 als ein Sammelbecken erweist, in dem unter dem Bogen einer Geschichtskonzeption ursprünglich voneinander unabhängige Erzählungen Aufnahme gefunden haben, in denen verschiedene Aspekte politischen und religiösen Lebens kritisch diskutiert werden. Using Hebrew, Greek, Syriac, and Latin textual references, this study develops a model for the origins of 1 Kings 11–14. Its methodological innovation is to consider multiple traditions and combine them in the analysis. The stories of the end of the great kingdom and the founding of the northern kingdom are shown to be a reservoir of narratives that critically address various aspects of political and religious life.

Abstract

There is to date no comprehensive treatment of eye disease texts from ancient Mesopotamia, and no English translation of this material is available. This volume is the first complete edition and commentary on Mesopotamian medicine from Nineveh dealing with diseases of the eye. This ancient work, languishing in British Museum archives since the 19th century, is preserved on several large cuneiform manuscripts from the royal library of Ashurbanipal, from the 7th century BC. The longest surviving ancient work on diseased eyes, the text predates by several centuries corresponding Hippocratic treatises. The Nineveh series represents a systematic array of eye symptoms and therapies, also showing commonalities with Egyptian and Greco-Roman medicine. Since scholars of Near Eastern civilizations and ancient and general historians of medicine will need to be familiar with this material, the volume makes this aspect of Babylonian medicine fully accessible to both specialists and non-specialists, with all texts being fully translated into English.

Abstract

Die Studie untersucht das Phänomen der innerbiblischen Schriftauslegung am Beispiel der Heilsprophetien in Ez 34-39. In einer redaktionsgeschichtlichen Gesamtanalyse dieser Kapitel wird das literarische Wachstum unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Schriftauslegung in den Blick genommen, indem für jede Stufe der redaktionsgeschichtlichen Rekonstruktion nach vorgegebenen Texten im Buch selbst wie außerhalb des Buches gefragt wird. Dabei wird zuerst ein differenziertes Entstehungsmodell der Kapitel Ez 34-39 vorgelegt, das nicht nur die abweichende Kapitelanordnung des griechischen Textzeugen Pap. 967 berücksichtigt, sondern auch neues Licht auf die Genese des Buches als Ganzes wirft. Weiterhin kann in der literatur- und theologiegeschichtlichen Entwicklung eine Entwicklung der Schriftauslegung als hermeneutisches Prinzip nachgewiesen werden, die hier zum ersten Mal beschrieben wird. In seiner "Schriftgelehrsamkeit" erweist sich das Ezechielbuch als Kompendium prophetischer Überlieferung und ist insbesondere auf die Überbietung und Erfüllung des Jeremiabuches hin angelegt.
