The gospel of Mark purposefully employs characters with specific and nuanced representations of dis/ability to portray the unique authority, the engaging message, and the mission of the Markan Jesus.Based on hermeneutical insights from Dis/ability Studies, this monograph is a contribution to the research of culturally and historically normalized corporeality in the biblical scriptures. At the core of the investigation are the healing narratives: passages that explicitly deal with a transformation from a described deviant bodily state to a positively valued corporeality. Lena Nogossek-Raithel not only analyzes the terminological and historical descriptions of these physical phenomena but also investigates their narrative function for the gospel text. The author argues that the images of dis/ability employed are far from accidental. Rather, they significantly influence the narrative's structure and impact, embody its theological claims, and characterize its protagonist Jesus.With this thorough exegetical analysis, Nogossek-Raithel offers a firm historical foundation for anyone interested in the critical interpretation and theological application of the Markan healing narratives.

In Medicine in Ancient Assur Troels Pank Arbøll offers a microhistorical study of a single exorcist named Kiṣir-Aššur who practiced medical and magical healing in the ancient city of Assur (modern northern Iraq) in the 7th century BCE. The book provides the first detailed analysis of a healer's education and practice in ancient Mesopotamia based on at least 73 texts assigned to specific stages of his career. By drawing on a microhistorical framework, the study aims at significantly improving our understanding of the functional aspects of texts in their specialist environment. Furthermore, the work situates Kiṣir-Aššur as one of the earliest healers in world history for whom we have such details pertaining to his career originating from his own time.

Inwiefern bilden medizinische und philosophische Erkenntnisse der Antike eine Grundlage zum Verständnis neutestamentlicher Anthropologie? Annette Weissenrieder und Katrin Dolle eröffnen mit ihrem Quellenbuch Körper und Verkörperung. Biblische Anthropologie im Kontext antiker Medizin und Philosophie. Ein Quellenbuch für die Septuaginta und das Neue Testament neue Zugänge zur biblischen Anthropologie indem sie die grundlegenden anthropologischen Termini wie "Körper", "Seele" oder "Verstand" anhand medizinisch-naturphilosophischer Quellentexte beleuchten. Daneben werden auch Begriffe wie "Blut", "Mann/ Frau" oder "Natur" eingehend besprochen. Die neu übersetzten Quellentexte werden durch einleitende Bemerkungen zu philologischen, medizinischen und philosophischen Fragen vorgestellt. Einleitende Fragen und weiterführende Forschungsanregungen zum Neuen Testament und der Septuaginta komplementieren jedes Kapitel. Eine ausführliche Einleitung in medizinische und naturphilosophische Fragen und weiterführende Besprechungen medizinischer Quellentexte sollen zum eigenen Forschen anregen. To which degree was ancient medical and philosophical knowledge incorporated in New Testament texts? Focusing on the crossroads of the Greek Bible, ancient medicine and philosophy, Annette Weissenrieder and Katrin Dolle are focusing on the anthropology related terms like "soul", "body" or "mind," but also going beyond in integrating terms like "female/male," "blood" or "nature." They are trying to emphasize and highlight are the structures of meaning for key anthropological terms, taking ancient medical philosophical concepts into consideration in order to more clearly make out the distinctions between various terms from a natural philosophical perspective. The source-texts are presented with a fresh translation and with introductory remarks on philological, medical and philosophical questions.
