Like an Everlasting Signet Ring: Generosity in the Book of Sirach
ISBN: 9783110223668 / Angielski / Twarda / 395 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work explores the theological and social dimensions of generosity in the book of Sirach and contextualizes them within the culture and thought of Second Temple Judaism. Ben Sira's understanding of generosity is predicated on the tension between affirming the classic wisdom principle of retributive justice and recognizing its breakdown in the socio-economic circumstances of Seleucid Judea. He forges a new Wisdom-Torah ethic of mercy in which giving generously is an integral part of living "the good life." This work explores the theological and social dimensions of generosity in the book of Sirach and contextualizes them within the culture and thought... |

Isaiah After Exile: The Author of Third Isaiah as Reader and Redactor of the Book
ISBN: 9780199593910 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book of Isaiah is a composite work whose formation took place over a long period of time, incorporating the work of many different hands rather than the work of a single author. A crucial stage in this process came with the Jewish return from Babylonian exile, and the subsequent efforts at restoration. In this new context, how were the older Isaianic oracles to be seen? What did they say? Isaiah After Exile examines this question in depth from the point of view of the book's formation. Jacob Stromberg illuminates the textual hermeneutics embedded in the post-exilic shape of Isaiah,...

The Oxford Handbook of the Dead Sea Scrolls
ISBN: 9780199207237 / Twarda / 768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1946 the first of the Dead Sea Scroll discoveries was made near the site of Qumran, at the northern end of the Dead Sea. Despite the much publicized delays in the publication and editing of the Scrolls, practically all of them had been made public by the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the first discovery. That occasion was marked by a spate of major publications that attempted to sum up the state of scholarship at the end of the twentieth century, including The Encyclopedia of the Dead Sea Scrolls (OUP 2000). These publications produced an authoritative synthesis to which the majority...

Massekhet Betsah: Text, Translation, and Commentary
ISBN: 9783161506895 / Angielski / Twarda / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a feminist commentary on Tractate Betsah, which deals with the laws specific to festivals. Tamara Or reveals surprising insights into the role of women in the development of halakhah. Thus, the commentary shows women's oppression as well as their actual power and influence even on halakhic decisions. The power women possess in this tractate can be explained as emanating from the fact that most of it is based on labors usually performed by women. In nearly all the cases where the rabbis discuss the sphere of action of women, the latter's behavior was considered halakhically...

Ethics in the Qumran Community: An Interdisciplinary Investigation
ISBN: 9783161506185 / Angielski / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Marcus Tso uses an interdisciplinary methodology to reexamine a long-neglected subject. Rather than the contents of ethics, the author focuses on the bases of ethics in the Qumran community, using the texts it collected as the primary evidence. He begins by comparing the ethical language of the Scrolls with other related literatures, then places the discussion in a historical framework based on recent findings. With the central chapters of the thesis, he explores four interrelated bases of Qumran ethics: e.g., how scriptural tradition(s) supported sectarian moral cosmology and halakhah; how...
