ISBN: 9789004150799 / Angielski / Twarda / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The methodological approach employed in this research utilizes the hermeneutics of comparative midrash combined with aspects of Bakhtinian dialogism and intertextuality. The purpose of this enterprise is to discern the function of scripture in Joel and its New Testament Nachleben. The terms 'appropriation' and 'resignification' are descriptive of the process through which an antecedent text is transformed by its displacement, condensation, and recontextualization. These methodologies assist in giving an account of the intertextual dialogism involved in a text's unrecorded hermeneutics....

Rewriting Scripture in Second Temple Times
ISBN: 9780802847409 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The biblical manuscripts found at Qumran, contends Sidnie White Crawford, reflect a spectrum of text movement from authoritative scriptural traditions to completely new compositions. Treating six major groups of texts, she shows how differences in the texts result from a particular understanding of the work of the scribe -- not merely to copy but also to interpret, update, and make relevant the Scripture for the contemporary Jewish community of the time. Thisascribal practice led to texts that were -rewritten- or -reworked- and considered no less important or accurate than the...

Torah Revealed, Torah Fulfilled: Scriptural Laws in Formative Judaism and Earliest Christianity
ISBN: 9780567027399 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The authors seek to identify the recurrent tensions, the blatant points of emphasis, the recurring indications of conflict and polemic. Framing the issue of the disposition of the Scriptural heritage in broad terms, they describe what characterizes the Gospels and the Mishnah, the letters of Paul and the Tosefta. In other words, if they take whole and complete the writings of first and second century people claiming to form the contemporary embodiment of Scripture's Israel and ask what they all stress as a single point of insistence, the answer is self-evident. Nearly every Christianity and...

Die Septuaginta und die hebraische Bibel bezeugen eine eigenstandige Uberlieferung der Erzahlung von "Daniel in der Lowengrube" (Dan 6) in verschiedenen Kulturkreisen. Obwohl beide Fassungen der gleichen Handlungslinie folgen, weisen zahlreiche Differenzen auf ihre Eigenstandigkeit hin. In den hier anknupfenden Theoriebildungen zur Textgeschichte wird die Prioritat von DanMT 6 ebenso wie die von DanLXX 6 favorisiert, sodass ein methodischer Neuansatz nahe liegt: beide Texte sind a priori als gleichwertig zu betrachten. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung steht eine detaillierte...
