This volume remembers Geza Xeravits, a well known scholar of
deuterocanonical and Qumran literature. The volume is divided into
four sections according to his scholarly work and interest.
Contributions in the first part deal with Old Testament and related
issues (Thomas Hiecke, Stefan Beyerle, and Matthew Goff). The
second section is about the Dead Sea Scrolls (John J, Collins, John
Kampen, Peter Porzig, Eibert Tigchelaar, Balazs Tamasi and Reka
Esztari). The largest part is the forth on deuterocanonica (Beate
Ego, Lucas Brum Teixeira, Fancis Macatangay, Tobias Nicklas, Maria
Brutti, Calduch-Benages Nuria, Pancratius Beentjes, Benjamin
Wright, Otto Mulder, Angelo Passaro, Friedrich Reiterer, Severino
Bussino, Jeremy Corley and JiSeong Kwong). The third section deals
with cognate literature (Jozsef Zsengeller and Karin Schoepflin).
The last section about the Ancient Synagogue has the paper of
Anders Kloostergaard Petersen. Some hot topics are discussed, for
example the Two spirits in Qumran, the cathegorization of the Dead
Sea Scrolls, the authorship and antropology of Ben Sira, and the
angelology of Vitae Prophetarum.
The volume contains papers read at the International Conference of
the ISDCL, held in Budapest in 2015. The contributors explore
various aspects of worship as reflected in the literature of
Judaism from the Second Temple period to Late Antiquity. The volume
provides a fresh reading of various crucial issues especially
within Old Testament Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, Rabbinic
literature, Gnostic traditions, and the emerging synagogue. The
papers analyse texts and artefacts that reveal how various groups
of Judaism understood the concept of worship-a pre-eminent form of
expressing religious identity and interpreting fundamental
traditions.
The volume publishes papers read at the tenth International
Conference on the Deuterocanonical Books, Budapest, 2013. The
authors explore various aspects of this literature, with
pre-eminent emphasis on their relation to diverse early Jewish
texts and traditions; their reactions on Hellenism; and the way
they treated as a canonical collection within their history of
interpretation.
The volume publishes papers presented at the International
Conference on the Deuterocanonical Books (Papa, Hungary). This
conference dealt with the deuterocanonical additions of the Old
Testament books. As such, this was one of the most extended
discussions of these writings that has ever taken place at a
scholarly meeting. The volume contains articles on the traditions
and theology of the additions, and demonstrates their relationship
with the contemporary literature of early Judaism. Several writings
of the Hebrew Bible - such as Esther, Daniel and Jeremiah - have
different textual forms in the Greek Bible, and these forms display
amplified material compared to the Hebrew versions. These additions
testify to the creative reflection of early Jewish circles on the
basic traditions of these Books and the textual fluidity of the
writings in question. The essays of this volume explore these
additions, their relationship to the Hebrew parent texts, and their
impact on the effective history of the interpretation of later
centuries.
This volume examines Jewish literature produced from c. 700 B.C.E.
to c. 200 C.E. from a socio-theological perspective. In this
context, it offers a scholarly attempt to understand how the
ancient Jewish psyche dealt with times of extreme turmoil and how
Jewish theology altered to meet the challenges experienced. The
volume explores various early Jewish literature, including both the
canonical and apocryphal scripture. Here, reference is often made
to a divine epiphany (a moment of unexpected and prodigious
revelation or insight) as a response to abuse, suffering and
passion. Many of the chapters deal with these issues in relation to
the Antiochan crisis of 169 to 164 B.C.E. in Judea, one of the more
notable periods of oppression. This watershed event appears to have
served as a catalyst for the new apocalyptic texts which were
produced up until c. 200 C.E, and which reflect a new theological
dynamic in Judaism - one that informed subsequent Christianity and
Rabbinic Judaism. Passion, Persecution and Epiphany in Early Jewish
Literature will be of interest to anyone working on the Bible (both
Masoretic and LXX) and early Jewish literature, as well as students
of Jewish history and the Levant in the classical period.
Papers in this volume were presented at the seventh international
conference of the Societe d'Etudes Samaritaines held at the
Reformed Theological Academy of Papa, Hungary in July 17-25, 2008.
The discussed Samaritan topics permeate different areas of biblical
studies: The question of the Samaritan Pentateuch has a serious
impact on the textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible. The
pre-Samaritan text-type among the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as the
dating and isolation of Samaritan features of the Samaritan
Pentateuch provide fresh and important data for gaining a better
understanding of the composition of the Torah/Pentateuch. New
reconstructions of the early history of the Samaritans have a great
effect on the history of the Jewish people in the Persian and
Hellenistic period. As a distinct group in the centuries around the
turn of the Common Era in Palestine, Samaritans played an important
role in the social and religious formation of early Judaism and
early Christianity. Living for centuries under Islamic rule,
Samaritans provide a good example of linguistic, cultural and
religious developments experienced by ethnic and religious group in
Islamic contexts.
