This volume presents selected papers read at the first meeting of
the Society for Jewish and Biblical Studies in Central Europe, in
Piliscsaba, Hungary, February 2009, but does not publish the
proceedings of this meeting (for a clarification see here). The
papers investigate various aspects of the concept "Stranger" in
Jewish tradition, from the Hebrew Bible to Mediaeval Jewish
thought. The bulk of the material focuses on Early Jewish
literature, which mirrors an intensive interaction with the
Hellenistic system of thought, and the development of concurring
Jewish interpretations of traditional values. The papers of the
volume provide insightful case studies about the formation of
Jewish identity in diverse periods of Israelite and Jewish history,
as well as the different attitudes to strangers, being either
outsiders, or belonging to opposing sects of Judaism itself. The
reader finds essays of historical, literary, and hermeneutical
attention; of interest also to scholars of various forms of ancient
and mediaeval Judaism.
