Losing the Temple and Recovering the Future: An Analysis of 4 Ezra
ISBN: 9781107006188 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the Jewish community's response to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. The focus is 4 Ezra, a text that reboots the past by imaginatively recasting textual and interpretive traditions. Instead of rebuilding the Temple, as Ezra does in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, the Ezra portrayed in 4 Ezra argues with an angel about the mystery of God's plan and re-gives Israel the Torah. Drawing on Walter Benjamin, 4 Ezra is analyzed in terms of a constellation composed of elements from pre-destruction traditions. Ezra's struggle and his eventual recommitment to Torah are...

Past Renewals: Interpretative Authority, Renewed Revelation and the Quest for Perfection in Jewish Antiquity
ISBN: 9789004180468 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How did ancient Jewish authors claim authority for their interpretations? How, after the "end of prophecy," could they claim the authority of revelation? Whom did one have to be, or aspire to be, in order to merit authority? Hindy Najman addresses these questions through close readings of ancient Jewish texts, e.g., Ezra-Nehemiah, Philo of Alexandria, 4Ezra, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Jubilees. In Seconding Sinai (Brill, 2003), Najman reconceived pseudepigraphy, developing the idea of a Mosaic discourse that comprised a series of ancient texts attributed to Moses. Here she develops the broader...

Jeremiah's Scriptures focuses on the composition of the biblical book of Jeremiah and its dynamic afterlife in ancient Jewish traditions.

The papers and responses collected here approach Jeremiah's scriptures from a variety of perspectives in biblical and...

The Significance of Sinai: Traditions about Sinai and Divine Revelation in Judaism and Christianity
ISBN: 9789004170186 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The theme of this collection of essays is ancient and modern Jewish and Christian views of the revelation at Sinai. The theme is highlighted in studies on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Paul, Josephus, rabbinic literature, art and philosophy. The essays here show that Sinai as the location of the revelation soon became less significant than the narratives about it. Those narratives were themselves transformed, not least to explain problems in the text's plain sense. Miraculous theophany, anthropomorphisms, the role of Moses, and the response of Israel were all handled with exegetical skills by each...

The Dead Sea Scrolls: Transmission of Traditions and Production of Texts
ISBN: 9789004185845 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How were Jewish texts produced and transmitted in late antiquity? What role did scribal practices play in the shaping of both scriptural and interpretive traditions, which are--as the Scrolls show so decisively--intimately intertwined? How were texts assembled from a variety of earlier sources, both oral and written? Why were they often attributed to pseudonymous authors from the remote past such as Moses and David? How did the composers of these texts understand the enterprise in which they were engaged? This volume furthers current debates about Qumran Scribal Practice and the transmission...
