Abstract

Gen 14:18–20 is a brief episode depicting the encounter between Abram and Melchizedek. Taking this episode and its context in the Pentateuch as the starting point, Mathews sets out to analyze the text as it has been composed, in order to understand the biblical and theological significance of this priest-king Melchizedek. The thesis proposed and investigated is that Melchizedek’s royal priestly portrayal in Genesis initiates a priesthood that is intentionally presented as an alternative to Aaron and his priesthood. The claim is that this distinct priestly order is evident in the biblical text as we have it, and it may be discerned by reading the text carefully, on its own terms, with close attention to its compositional features. Chapter 1 introduces the study and offers an overview of the history of interpretation related to Genesis 14 and Melchizedek. In ch. 2, various hermeneutical issues and approaches are examined in order to clarify methodology and identify some of the problems being addressed. In ch. 3, the heart of the book, Mathews considers Gen 14:18–20 in the context of the Pentateuch, focusing on Melchizedek in relation to the Abrahamic narrative and covenant, the royal message of the Pentateuch, and Aaron’s priesthood. Beginning with Psalm 110, ch. 4 identifies echoes of Melchizedek and his priesthood in several texts in the Prophets and Writings. The book concludes in ch. 5 with a summary and synthesis of the preceding analysis as well as some implications and suggestions for further research.

Abstract

Obwohl die Leviten eine der prominentesten Gruppen in der Hebräischen Bibel sind und ihnen in der Forschung einige Aufmerksamkeit zuteilwurde, sind wesentliche sie betreffende Fragen nach wie vor ungeklärt. Nichtsdestoweniger gilt die unterschiedliche Rollenzuschreibung von levitischen Priestern in der deuteronomisch-deuteronomistischen Literatur bzw. von Priestern und Leviten in den priesterschriftlich geprägten Texten als entscheidend für die Verhältnisbestimmung beider Literaturbereiche. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht unter Einbeziehung der neuesten Diskussion zur Gestaltwerdung des Enneateuch konsequent literarkritisch die einschlägigen Passagen der Hebräischen Bibel, um den Weg von den levitischen Priestern des Deuteronomiums zu Levi, dem Priester, in den Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer nachzeichnen zu können. Auf diese Weise soll eine gesicherte Quellenbasis für künftige historische Rückfragen gewonnen werden, wobei sich die große Dynamik der Diskussion um die Stellung der Leviten vor allem in nachexilischer Zeit zeigt. Zugleich können die Ergebnisse der Arbeit als ein Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte um die Entstehung des Pentateuch dienen.

Abstract

This book tells the story of Bunchi (1619-1697), daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo and founder of EnshMji. Bunchi advocated strict adherence to monastic precepts while devoting herself to the posthumous welfare of her family. As the first full-length biographical study of a premodern Japanese nun, this book incorporates issues of gender and social status into its discussion of Bunchi's ascetic practice and religious reforms to rewrite the history of Buddhist reform and Tokugawa religion.
