The eighteen articles collected in this volume are the results of
the international workshop, "Teaching Morality in Antiquity: Wisdom
Texts, Oral Traditions, and Images," held at the Bibliotheca
Albertina of the University of Leipzig between November 29th and
December 1st, 2016 with the financial support of the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft. During the workshop, fruitful discussions
on diverse issues related to the theme "wisdom texts and morality"
developed regarding biblical wisdom texts and their parallels from
the ancient Egypt, ancient Mesopotamia, and the ancient Levant -
more specifically: moral messages and rhetoric in wisdom texts; the
dissemination of wisdom teachings; teachings about the divine realm
as the core of moral principles or human social order;
visualization of divine authority; questions of theodicy; and
modern analyses of ancient morality through the eyes of cognitive
science.
