In this book, Guy Darshan explores stories of origins that lie at the heart of Pentateuchal sources in the context of literature created in neighboring societies of the ancient Mediterranean world. A comparative study, his volume analyses the parallels between Biblical origin stories - the narrative traditions arranged in geneaological sequence that recount the beginnings of humanity and origins of peoples -- in tandem with ancient Greek genealogical writings from the 7-5th centuries BCE onwards. He also considers Phoenician and Anatolian sources from the first millennium, several of which have only been published in recent years. This is the first scholarly study to trace the origins of this genre of narrative and the circumstances that led to appearances in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Mediterranean literature. It sheds new light on our knowledge of the history of literature, as well as the interconnections and interrelations between civilizations of the pre-Hellenistic eastern Mediterranean and Near East.

Der Band ist als Gedenkschrift konzipiert, in Erinnerung an die im März 2020 früh verstorbene Paderborner Neutestamentlerin Prof. Dr. Maria Neubrand MC. Wie der Titel schon zeigt, knüpft der Band inhaltlich an ihr besonderes und außergewöhnliches Engagement für den christlich-jüdischen Dialog an. Gemeinsame Grundlage und Ausgangspunkt dieses Dialogs ist die Hebräische Bibel bzw. die Septuaginta zusammen mit den frühjüdischen Schriften bis ins 2. Jh. u.Z. Mehr und mehr setzt sich in der Forschung die Einsicht durch, dass es sich auch bei den Schriften des Neuen Testaments um jüdische Schriften handelt, also um Schriften, die das Christusereignis aus dem Geist und dem Glauben Israels und des antiken Judentums deuten. Die Beiträge im ersten Teil des Bandes stehen unter dieser Prämisse und interpretieren die ntl Schriften entsprechend. Die Beiträge im zweiten Teil des Bandes entwickeln diese Prämisse für den christlich-jüdischen Dialog heute weiter. Zwei Beiträge, einer aus Teil 1 und einer aus Teil 2 nehmen dabei Maria Neubrands Arbeiten zu Röm 9-11 auf. Im Zentrum des dritten Teils stehen persönliche Erinnerungen an Maria Neubrand.

This book compares a variety of biblical narratives with the stories found in several Northwest Semitic inscriptions from the ancient kingdom of Judah and its contemporary Syro-Palestinian neighbors. In genre, language, and cultural context, these epigraphic stories are closer to biblicalnarratives than any other ancient Near Eastern narrative corpus. For the first time, Parker analyzes and appreciates these stories as narratives and sets them beside comparable biblical stories. He illuminates the narrative character and techniques of both epigraphic and biblical stories and in manycases revea
