Together these twenty papers reflect our appreciation for his exemplary scholarship and lifelong commitment to acquaint our world with the theological and cultural riches of Jewish Studies.This collection reflects the breadth of Prof. Reif’s interests insofar as it is a combination of Second Temple studies and Jewish studies on the roots of Jewish prayer and liturgy which is his main field of expertise. Contributions on biblical and second temple studies cover Amos, Ben Sira, Esther, 2 Maccabees, Judith, Wisdom, Qumran Psalms, and James. Contributions on Jewish studies cover nuptial and benedictions after meals, Adon Olam, Passover Seder, Amidah, the Medieval Palestinian Tefillat ha-Shir, and other aspects of rabbinic liturgy.Moreover, the regional diversity of scholars from Israel, continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Ireland and North America mirrors Stefan’s travels as a lecturer and the reach of his publications.

This volume contains essays by some of the leading scholars in the study of the Jewish religious ideas in the Second Temple period, that led up to the development of early forms of Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity. Close attention is paid to the cosmological ideas to be found in the Ancient Near East and in the Hebrew Bible and to the manner in which the translators of the Hebrew Bible into Greek reflected the creativity with which Judaism engaged Hellenistic ideas about the cosmos and the creation. The concepts of heaven and divine power, human mortality, the forces of nature, combat myths, and the philosophy of wisdom, as they occur in 2 Maccabees, Ben Sira, Wisdom of Solomon and Tobit, are carefully analysed and compared with Greek and Roman world-views. There are also critical examinations of Dead Sea scroll texts, early Jewish prayers and Hebrew liturgical poetry and how they these adopt, adapt and alter earlier ideas. The editors have included appreciations of two major figures who played important roles in the study of the Second Temple period and in the history and development of the ISDCL, namely, Otto Kaiser and Alexander Di Lella, who died recently and are greatly missed by those in the field.

Beauty is an unexplored theme in studies of Second Temple Jewish texts. Yet disclosing the aesthetic beauty in literary works has affinities with current methodologies such as reader response criticism and explorations of emotion and affectivity in prose and poetry. Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, aesthetic analyses enhance the reader’s subjective experience of the text and thereby are capable of reaching an audience beyond that of biblical specialists.This volume explores Hebrew Scriptures, deuterocanonical texts, and extra-canonical Jewish literature. To disclose the aesthetics in the texts, the 20 essays apply a variety of interpretive methodologies, including literary-critical, cultural-historical, linguistic, and art-historical. Essays will examine beauty in postexilic Hebrew Bible texts, apocryphal/ deuterocanonical writings, and other Second Temple texts such as Qumran. Besides literary aesthetics, the essays will explore the beauty of female figures and the natural world, as well as spiritual beauty. While this volume is intended primarily for scholars in the fields of Second Temple Judaism, early Christianity, and ancient society, it will also be of interest to students in their classrooms.
