Religion and Cult in the Dodecanese during the First Millennium BC publishes the proceedings of the conference of the same name, held in Rhodes in October 2018. Religion has always been one of the major components of peoples' lives, an integral part of social, economic and political contexts, contributing to the formation of culture and history. In order to study and understand the religious and cult practices of a particular region, it is necessary to explore their various expressions through material culture and written sources. The oldest known cult remains in the Dodecanese can be dated to the end of the 10th and early 9th centuries BC and throughout the 1st millennium BC. They demonstrate the existence of a vibrant island society with various evolving cult practices. As a major stopover on maritime trade routes, the southeastern Aegean was influenced by contacts from throughout the Greek world and beyond. The contributions to this volume draw on archaeological and literary sources to explore both the development and continuity of cults in the Dodecanese, from the Early Iron Age through to the 1st century BC.

This book deals with the house of prisoners (bit asiri ) at the city of Uruk during the revolt against king Samsu-iluna of Babylon, Hammurabi's son. The political history of this brief period (ca. 1741-1739 BC) is not widely known and until now there has been no comprehensive treatment of the bit asiri. This book includes autograph copies, transliterations, and translations of 42 unpublished cuneiform tablets from various collections, collations, and detailed tables and catalogues. The analysis comprises some 410 documents dated or attributable to king Rim-Anum, one of the insurgents who attained relative independence as the ruler of Uruk. The study of this corpus reveals details about diplomatic dealings between the central power and rebel rulers, about the functioning of the house of prisoners of war, and about the individuals who participated in different echelons of the local administration. This monograph investigates what kind of organization "the house of prisoners" was, how it worked, how it interacted with other institutions, the composition of its labor force, and state management of captive and enslaved individuals.

Humanitarian Islam is an innovative concept that has begun emerging from the traditions of Islam in Indonesia in recent years. The most important contemporary Islamic organizations in Indonesia support it. Nevertheless, it seems to be unknown beyond the Southeast Asian context, despite its global potential, aspirations and claims. Moreover, the concept has not received any academic attention so far. This volume presents reflections on the idea of Humanitarian Islam by Muslim and non-Muslim scholars from Europe and beyond.

Many studies of the prophetic books assume that a text's addressee and audience are one and the same. Sometimes this is the case, but some prophetic texts feature multiple addressees who cannot be collapsed into a single setting. In this book Andrew R. Davis examinesexamples of multiple addressees within the book of Amos and argues that they force us to expand our understanding of prophetic audiences. Drawing insight from studies of poetic address in other disciplines, Davis distinguishes between the addressee within the text and the actual audience outside the text. He combines in-depth poetic analysis with historical inquiry and shows the ways that the prophetic discourse of the book of Amos is triangulated among multiple audiences.

Was ist dieses Projekt, das man Europa nennt? Wie werden Ideen von Europa dargestellt? Woran denkt man, wenn man von Religion in Repräsentation von Europa spricht? Und wie formt Religion diese Imaginationen? Was bewirken sie? Auf diese Fragen gibt es keine einfache Antwort, weil es zu viele unterschiedliche Ideen davon gibt, was Europa und was Religion in Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft sind, sein sollten oder sein müssten. Dieses Buch arbeitet mit Fallstudien, in denen sich Ideen und Konzepte von Europa verdichten: ein Text, ein Kunstwerk, ein Gebäude, eine Ausstellung, eine Karte, ein Filmfestival, ein Lied oder eine Mahlzeit. Mit Beiträgen von Dolores Zoé Bertschinger, Carla Danani, Verena Marie Eberhardt, Natalie Fritz, Anna-Katharina Höpflinger, Ann Jeffers, Stefanie Knauss, Marie-Therese Mäder, Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati, Natasha O'Hear, Alexander Darius Ornella, Sean Michael Ryan, Alberto Saviello, Baldassare Scolari und Paola Wyss-Giacosa.
