Heilige oder Hure?
Die Rezeptionsgeschichte von Juda und Tamar (Genesis 38) von der Antike bis zur Reformationszeit

Die Untersuchung entfaltet die jüdische und christliche Auslegungsgeschichte eines in verschiedener Hinsicht provozierenden Kapitels der Bibel von der Antike bis in die Reformationszeit. Die Geschichte von Juda und Tamar in Genesis 38 scheint hierzu besonders geeignet, weil sich unterschiedliche literarisch-kontextuelle, historische, ethische und gesamtbiblische Problemfelder auftun. Die Analyse der Rezeptionsgeschichte erweist, dass die chronologische Einbindung in die Josefgeschichte immer als problematisch betrachtet wurde, wenn Judas Enkel 22 Jahre später bei der Übersiedlung nach Ägypten dabei gewesen sein sollen. In besonderer Weise wird der Frage nachgegangen, warum die Josefgeschichte durch dieses Kapitel unterbrochen wird und welche Funktion es in seinem jetzigen Zusammenhang erfüllt. Wie ist das Verhalten Judas und Tamars ethisch bewertet worden? Welche Rolle hat dabei gespielt, dass Juda und Tamar Vorfahren von David und vom Messias bzw. von Christus sind? Dr. Walter Hilbrands stellt die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der doppelten Nachgeschichte von Gen 38 übersichtlich dar. Allen originalsprachlichen Quellen wird eine Übersetzung beigefügt. Besonders die lateinischen Kommentare des Mittelalters werden in diesem Zusammenhang neu erarbeitet und bewertet. Ein Ausblick auf die Exegese der Neuzeit erweist in den genannten Fragenkomplexen eine Verarmung gegenüber der reichen und bis heute ertragreichen jüdisch-christlichen Auslegungstradition.

Understanding the book of Revelation means understanding its imagery. This puzzling book contains a fascinating world of pictures and images ¿ every chapter and every page of it is filled with different kinds of images coming from different traditions and developing different sorts of meaning. The search for the origins of the seer's imagery, its cultural, social-historical, and religious meaning, the problem of Johannine rhetoric, and reader responses to the text are important tasks that merit further discussion. The contributions of this collection explore different aspects of this intriguing field by discussing selected issues of the wide range of materials. The contributors different methodological approaches and apply different tools adopted from a variety of disciplines, such as narrative criticism, intertextuality, social/historical criticism, history of religious comparison, gender studies. The book contains contributions by David Barr, Johannes Beutler, Marco Frenschkowski, Steven Friesen, László Attila Hubbes, Konrad Huber, Michael Labahn, Kirsi Siitonen, Rebecca Skaggs / Thomas Doyle, Hanna Stenström and Robyn J. Whitaker. Most of the articles were presented and discussed at the seminar Early Christianity between Judaism and Hellenism at the international meeting of the SBL/EABS in Vienna, Austria, 2007. This collection of essays brings new impulses and new methodological and hermeneutical approaches into the discussion on how to understand the imagery in Revelation.

See Me! Hear Me! Divine/Human Relational Dialogue in Genesis

Fokkelman states, “The Bible does not contain one single instance of small talk.” This thesis examines relational dialogue between the Deity and human individuals in Genesis by separating the conversations from narrative through lines that most often inform biblical analysis. I am interested in snapshots of character developed in intimate conversations, when ‘face to face’ dialogue is allowed to take center stage. These conversations then become surprising and unexpected. In them the Deity talks with the first human to commit murder, not his regarded brother; recognizes a foreign slave as a unique and valued individual yet rebukes the chosen matriarch; potential heirs are dismissed and a legitimate successor only promised. All the while humans argue, cry, wrestle, laugh, express a limited worldview, while demanding a response from their Deity. These conversations challenge our opinion of a distant Deity and push the reader to redefine their understanding of the Divine/Human relationship.

Beyond the Breach
An Exegetical Study of John 4:1-42 as a Text of Jewish-Samaritan Reconciliation

Beyond the Breach: An Exegetical Study of John 4:1-42 as a Text of Jewish-Samaritan Reconciliation focuses on the ethical element of loving the enemy in John which challenges the earlier consensus that one cannot find the theme of loving the enemy/neighbor in John’s gospel, be it explicitly or implicitly. This study defends the position that in the gospel of John there are elements of reconciling love, a depiction of loving one’s enemies, and in particular in the Samaritan episode (John 4:1-42). This book critically analyzes existing research on the theme of Jewish-Samaritan relations and ‘the world behind’ John 4:1-42. It makes use of recent methods in biblical studies to interpret the complexity of texts, underlying themes and concerns in the way John 4:1-42 describes the Samaritan mission of the Johannine Jesus.

Call of the Wilderness
The Narrative Significance of John the Baptist's Wherebaouts

Several geographical settings are associated with John the Baptist in the first-century texts in which he figures. The wilderness of Judea (Matthew), the environs of the Jordan (Luke), and Bethany beyond the Jordan (John) are some of the places where John is said to have preached and baptized. The Baptist’s execution is associated with Machaerus (Josephus), Galilee (Mark), and – as is argued for in the present work – Judea (Matthew). This study focuses on the significance of these and other geographical settings. In contrast to earlier studies it will do so from a narrative-critical rather than a historical angle. It turns out that although the specifics are unique in each case, a common pattern can be discerned in that the geographical settings in which the Baptist appears contribute to the characterization of the Baptist in relation to the main characters and themes in the narratives in question.

Power in the New Testament

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Influential research by authors like Foucault and Arendt revealed the significant role of power in shaping relationships in society and faith communities. This volume contributes to this research trend by analysing the formative role of power in early Christian documents and communities. An introductory essay investigates theoretical approaches to power and the nexus between power and religion. It functions as orientation for the exegetical analyses of individual texts in the rest of the volume. Two contributions analyse power dynamics in the Bible generally and nine others investigate its use in specific early Christian texts. They attend to the vocabulary of power as well as the networks and actors involved in the execution of diverse forms of power. They focus on how these dynamics operate specifically in the Gospels, Pauline texts and traditions and the Apocalypse. They show that power can be abusive and dangerous, but it also is a positive, restraining force.

Luke's Literary and Theological Genius

The essays of this book show that we do not have to choose between Luke as a theologian and Luke as a writer, between a Greek and a Jewish Luke, between a conservative Luke and an innovative and creative one, between the Luke of the Gospel and the Luke of Acts. Luke’s literary qualities are universally recognized, from the sophistication of his composition and writing, to the way he combines allusions to the Scriptures of Israel and to Hellenistic culture. In both his works, Marc Rastoin argues, Luke shows his knowledge of the historiography of his time, all the while never ceasing to be a theologian. Acts, often considered to be simply an interesting account of the early church, has just as much theological value as the Gospel. It was a key ecclesiological, and thus pneumatological, decision for Luke to have written such a narrative in two parts of equal weight.

Knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord
The High Christology of Philippians 3:7-11
Häftad, Engelska, 1996

Tillfälligt slut
Employing the traditional tools of historical-critical methodology as well as a selected mix of techniques from newer literary criticism, this book provides a close analysis of the syntactic and semantic content of Phil 3:7-11 in its immediate and broader context, concluding that this passage represents a very high christological statement on the part of Paul, and discusses some of the implications of these findings in regard to the interpretation of Phil 2:5-11, the wisdom ambience of the letters of Paul, and relevance for modern christologies.In Philippians 3:7-11, Paul makes a very strong statement about how much Christ Jesus means to him. This study seeks to demonstrate how the passage within its context gives expression to a high christological statement which is frequently disregarded in treatments of Pauline christology.Chapter One presents a concise summary of the history of exegesis of Phil 3:7-11 and identifies the elements present within that history which indicated the desirability of a more in-depth treatment. Chapter Two focuses on the entire letter to the Philippians as the context of interpretation of Phil 3:7-11, beginning with a discussion of the methodology employed in the remainder of the work.Chapter Three focuses on Phil 3:7-11, first considering the textual variants within these verses, then describing in detail the relation of the complex sentence consisting of vv. 8-11. Chapters Four and Five deal with those issues of semantics in vv. 8-11 which require more extensive treatment. Chapter Six returns to a consideration of the meaning of knowledge of Christ, concluding with a consideration of the results of this study for current discussions of New Testament Christology.

Isaiah's Servant Poems According to the Septuagint
An Exegetical and Theological Study
Häftad, Engelska, 1999

Tillfälligt slut
This study analyzes the Septuagint version of Isaiah's Servant Poems (Isaiah 42:1-8; 49:1-9; 50:4-11; 52:13-53:12) as a translation and unique interpretation of the Hebrew text. The Septuagint version of the Servant Poems is of interest not only because it represents one of the earliest (if not the first) interpretations of the Hebrew text and thus an important stage in the history of exegesis of these poems, but also because this translation operates a transition from Hebrew modes of thinking and expression into a Greek language and context. The Septuagint version of the Servant Poems was cited by New Testament writers, read and commented on as Sacred Scripture by the early Church Fathers and continues to be used by the Eastern Church. This study is a helpful resource to Old Testament, New Testament and Patristic scholars and theologians alike.The introduction offers a methodology for classifying Septuagint differences to determine the specific exegesis and underlying theology of a given Septuagint text. Differences with the Hebrew text are categorized according to linguistic explanations (style, the translator's difficulty determining Greek semantic equivalents for obscure Hebrew vocabulary, errors or omissions, etc.) Hebrew Vorlagen, non-linguistic explanations like contextual and intertextual exegesis and combinations of linguistic and non-linguistic factors.The author identifies over 270 differences with the Masoretic Text in a presentation of the Septuagint text of each poem side-by-side with the Masoretic Text. Qumran variants are compared with the Masoretic Text and Septuagint to help classify Septuagint differences to determine which may be signs of the Septuagint's unique exegesis and theology. The Septuagint's numerous differences are bold-faced in the English translation of each poem before the author presents a detailed verse-by-verse literary analysis of the Septuagint in the wider context of Isaiah 1-66 and the Greek Pentateuch.The author argues that the vast majority of Septuagint differences with the Masoretic Text in Isaiah's Servant Poems reflect contextual and intertextual exegesis. The Septuagint version expresses theological perspectives that are at times similar and often distinct from the Masoretic Text. In a final chapter the author draws on the exegesis of each poem in preceding chapters to present the theology visible in the Septuagint version of Isaiah's Servant Poems, concluding with an appendix that catalogues textual differences between the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text and a biblical index.
