Bisherige Betrachtungen einer jüdischen Rezeptionsgeschichte Jonas beschränken sich auf die Deskription vermeintlich wichtigster oder bekanntester Rezeptionsquellen. AUS DEM LEBEN DES BUCHES JONA untersucht die frühjüdischen und rabbinischen Rezeptionen des biblischen Propheten Jona auf ihre überlieferungsdynamischen Aushandlungsprozesse und ermittelt, woraufhin und mit welcher traditionsdynamischen Konsequenz im Wandel soziokultureller Kontexte rezipiert wurde. Die Rezeptionsgeschichte wird dabei, in Abgrenzung zur Auslegungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte, als Arbeitsfeld und nicht als Gegenstand der Forschung verstanden. Einer eigens entwickelten Methodik folgend werden Rezeptionen Jonas diskursanalytisch kontextualisiert und entlang einheitlicher Analysekategorien vergleichend untersucht. Dabei fließen sowohl historisch-kritische Denkansätze des New Historicism, als auch eine hermeneutische Skepsis hinsichtlich der Re-Konstruktion von Geschichte sowie methodologische Grundlagen der Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft und Religionswissenschaft, insbesondere in Auseinandersetzung mit Intertextualitätstheorien, in die Arbeit ein. Das Ergebnis ist ein detailreicher Bildausschnitt eines innerjüdischen Rezeptionsdiskurses. Daniel Vorpahl examines the early Jewish and rabbinic receptions of the biblical prophet Jonah for their narrative-dynamic negotiation processes. Following a specially developed methodology, Jonas’ receptions are contextualized in terms of discourse analysis and analyzed in a comparative manner along uniform analysis categories. The result is a detailed image section of an intra-Jewish reception discourse.

This volume charts the interpretation of Genesis 3:16-21 in a number of patristic and classical rabbinic sources. It is a case study in the reception of a biblical fragment in two intrinsically related yet distinct interpretative communities: early Christianity and rabbinic Judaism. Following the lead of the biblical text, this study sheds new light on each traditions' view of the human condition, more specifically on the way Church Fathers and Rabbis approach the themes of procreation, labour, mortality and corporeality. The book carefully studies the reading of the biblical text as proposed by a number of representative and influential authors or documents, including Ambrose of Milan, Didymus the Blind, John Chrysostom and Augustine, as well as Genesis Rabbah and Avot de Rabbi Nathan. The introductions at the beginning of each chapter enable also the non-specialist to enter the distinct literary worlds of midrash and patristic Bible interpretation.
