Abstract

The Assyriologist George Smith (1840-76) was trained originally as an engraver, but was enthralled by the discoveries of Layard and Rawlinson. He taught himself cuneiform script, and joined the British Museum as a 'repairer' or matcher of broken cuneiform tablets. Promotion followed, and after one of Smith's most significant discoveries among the material sent to the Museum - a Babylonian story of a great flood - he was sent to the Middle East, where he found more inscriptions which contained other parts of the epic tale of Gilgamesh. In 1876, shortly before his early death, Smith published this work, which drew extraordinary parallels between much earlier cuneiform documents and the biblical book of Genesis. The book was both controversial and very successful. The second edition, reissued here, was published in 1880, with corrections and additional material provided by Archibald Sayce (1846-1933), which reflected recent advances in Middle Eastern studies.

Abstract

Diese erste Monographie zu Luthers Lehre von der creatio ex nihilo zeigt den umfassenden Charakter seiner Interpretation der Formel, betont ihre Gegenwartsbedeutung und fragt nach theologischen und philosophischen Hintergründen. Spricht eine Schöpfung aus dem Nichts auch gegen jede Logik und Erfahrung, so zeigt der Verfasser ausgehend von Luthers Großer Genesisvorlesung, dass die Formel für Luther weder das kausale "Woher" der Schöpfung benennt noch das naturwissenschaftliche "Wie" ihrer Entstehung: Sie beantwortet vielmehr die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Schöpfer und Geschöpf - in Schöpfung, Erhaltung und Neuschöpfung. Die Formel creatio ex nihilo ist damit keine periphere Bestimmung göttlichen Handelns, sondern Grundmatrix seines Umgangs mit Mensch und Welt. This first monograph on Luther's doctrine of the creatio ex nihilo demonstrates the comprehensive character of his interpretation of the phrase, emphasises its present-day significance and inquires into its theological and philosophical backgrounds. If the notion of creation from nothing runs counter to all logic and experience, the author works from Luther's great lecture on Genesis to show that for Luther the phrase names neither the "Whence" of creation nor the scientific "How" of its genesis. Rather, it answers the question of the relationship between creator and creature - in creation, maintenance and re-creation. Thus the formulation creatio ex nihilo is no peripheral determination of divine action, but the basic matrix of the Creator's dealings with humans and the world.
