Ashmon puts forth a structural analysis of birth annunciations in the Hebrew Bible, and Ancient Near Eastern texts. By studying the topic in this way, the author shows a shared culture between Egyptian Hittite, Sumerian, Ugarit cultures and Biblical narratives. It explores an aspect of the Bible that has yet to be the subject of an extensive study. There have been numerous accounts of the birth annunciations of Jesus in the New Testament, but this is the first book to do a scholarly examination of the way prophecies about the birth of special children occur prior to Christ.

Diese Studie geht der Frage nach, wie und warum literarische Texte des Alten Orients, des Alten Testaments und des Qumrankorpus Krisen und Katastrophen metaphorisch darstellen. Ausgehend von einer kurzen Einführung zur Metaphertheorie und zu altorientalischen Vorstellungen von Geburt im Allgemeinen werden Texte untersucht, die das Konzept ,Geburt' metaphorisch mit dem Konzept ,Krise' verbinden und hiermit sowohl das eine wie auch das andere in einem neuen Licht erscheinen lassen. Das Hauptaugenmerk des Buches liegt auf alttestamentlichen Texten und den persönlichen, historischen und universalen Krisen, die sie mit Hilfe der Geburtsmetapher beschreiben. Hierbei ist es besonders interessant, dass nicht der glückliche Ausgang einer Geburt im Zentrum der Metapher steht, sondern der Schmerz, die Unsicherheit und die Unabwendbarkeit der Geschehnisse, die ,Krise' und ,Geburt' verbinden. An einem Text aus den Hodayot von Qumran wird gezeigt, wie spätere eschatologische Vorstellungen die altorientalische und alttestamentliche Geburtsmetapher weiterentwickeln.
