Abstract

"This collection of essays explores questions that challenge the traditional notion of a wisdom tradition among the Israelite literati, such as: Is the wisdom literature a genre or mode of literature or do we need new terminology? Who were the tradents? Is there such a thing as a "wisdom scribe" and what would that look like? Did the scribes who composed wisdom literature also have a hand in producing the other "traditions," such as the priestly, prophetic, and apocalyptic, as well as other non-sapiential works? Were Israelite sages open to non-sapiential forms of knowledge in their conceptualization of wisdom?"--

Abstract

"Is there evidence for a distinct 'wisdom tradition' in ancient Israel? Mark R. Sneed redefines the wisdom literature as a loosely cohering collection of books that educated scribal apprentices in moral instruction. Sneed discusses the data for scribal culture and pedagogy in the ancient Near East, suggesting that wisdom literature was meant to complement, not to compete with, other modes of literature in the Hebrew Bible. The result is a surprising new picture of the authors and tradents of the wisdom literature"--

Abstract

Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise 2016 ! Die alttestamentliche Polemik gegen andere Götter und deren Abwertung als machtlose Bilder wird häufig als ein randständiges, theologisch wenig gehaltvolles Phänomen angesehen. Die diesen Texten eigene Logik der Argumentation gerät daher nur selten in den Blick.Die vorliegende Studie untersucht anhand von Jes 40-48, Jer 10, Ps 135, Epistula Ieremiae und Sapientia Salomonis 12-15 die literargeschichtliche Entwicklung der Götterpolemik, ihre typischen Aussagen und ihre Funktion im sozialgeschichtlichen Kontext. Viele dieser Texte weisen eine sprachliche und konzeptionelle Nähe zur Weisheitsliteratur auf. Um den Zusammenhang von Götterpolemik und weisheitlicher Tradition an den einzelnen Texten nachzuweisen, die Entwicklung dieser Verbindung zu rekonstruieren und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Argumentation der götterpolemischen Texte nachzuzeichnen, verbindet die Arbeit redaktionsgeschichtliche Analysen mit einem diskurstheoretischen Ansatz. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Götterpolemik keineswegs nur theologische oder kultische Fragen verhandelt; vielmehr werden weisheitliche Elemente genutzt, um Menschen, die andere Götter verehren, abzuwerten und deren Weltanschauung zu diskreditieren. Old Testament polemics against other gods, mocking them as powerless images, are often viewed as lacking great theological import. Drawing on Isa: 40–48, Jer. 10, Ps. 135, EpJer and SapSal, this study examines the history of such polemics and shows their connection to the wisdom tradition. The analysis of links between polemics against pagan gods and wisdom provides a historical context for the polemical strategy of these texts.

Abstract

"This collection of essays examines the wisdom traditions of the Old Testament from a variety of angles. The slipperiness of the concept of 'wisdom literature', the transmission of 'wise' advice for living, rabbinic and patristic approaches to the Bible's wisdom traditions, and cutting-edge modern perspectives on such Old Testament books as Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes are all to be found here. In the tradition of the renowned previous v. from the Oxford Old Testament Seminar - King and Messiah in Israel and the Ancient Near East (1998), In Search of Pre-Exilic Israel (2004), Temple and Worship in Biblical Israel (2005), and Prophecy and Prophets in Ancient Israel (2010)-this new v. again brings the scholarship of the Oxford Seminar, here focused on the rich subject of Old Testament wisdom traditions, to an international readership."-- This collection of essays examines the wisdom traditions of the Old Testament from a variety of angles.

Abstract

Das Buch behandelt die in der Forschung umstrittene Frage, ob es sich bei der personifizierten Weisheit in der Sapientia Salomonis bereits um eine Hypostase oder lediglich um eine Vorstufe im Sinne einer poetischen Personifikation handelt. Auf die traditionsgeschichtliche Analyse der einschlägigen Weisheitstexte in Prov 1-9, Hiob 28, Sirach 1,1-10 und 24 folgt die Auslegung der zentralen Texte der Sapientia Salomonis (Sap 1,1-10; 7,1-8,1; 9,1-18 und 10,1-11,1). Da in der jüdischen Spätschrift zahlreiche philosophische Anleihen zu finden sind, muss auch im Blick auf den Weisheitsbegriff und das damit verbundene Problem der Vermittlung zwischen Gott und Mensch mit einer Beeinflussung durch die Vorstellungen der zeitgenössischen Philosophie (mittlere Stoa: Poseidonios von Apamea; mittlerer Platonismus: Antiochos von Askalon, Eudoros von Alexandrien) gerechnet werden. The author addresses the controversial question of whether the personification of wisdom in the Sapientia Salomonis already represents a hypostasis or whether it is merely a preliminary stage in the sense of a poetic personification. Following an analysis of the historical traditions of the relevant wisdom texts in Proverbs 1-9, Job 28, Ecclesiasticus 1:1-10 and 24, the author proceeds to interpret the central texts of the Sapientia Salomonis (Wisdom 1:1-10; 7:1-8:1; 9:1-18 and 0:1-11:1). When looking at the concept of wisdom and the associated problem of the mediation between God and the human being, one must assume that there are influences from contemporary philosophy, as numerous philosophical borrowings are to be found in the late Jewish text (Middle Stoa: Poseidonios of Apamea; Middle Platonism: Antiochos of Ascalon, Eudoros of Alexandria).

Abstract

The monograph Judging Q and Saving Jesus is characterised by careful textual analysis, showing a piercing critical eye in its impressive engagement with the secondary literature, and sharp and insightful critique. The target audience are specialists in the field of research on the Sayings Source Q (the hypothetical source of certain sayings of Jesus common to Matthew and Luke), historical Jesus, and early Christian theology. The book takes the stance that the hypothetical document Q can be reconstructed with sufficient precision and that this enables biblical scholars to study with confidence its genre and its thematic and ideological profile. The genre issue is central to the book overall structure and the alternative proposals are discussed at length and with sophistication. The author’s inference is that Q’s macrogenre is sapiential with occasional insertions of apocalyptic microstructures and motifs. This finding embodies progress in Historical Jesus studies.
