In 1943, the famous Old Testament scholar, Martin Noth, published
his monograph, _berlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien, in which he
established the hypothesis of a Deuteronomistic History and gave
his treatment of the Chronicler's History. It quickly became one of
the classics in the field and is probably Noth's most enduring
legacy. This book brings together essays from an international
symposium of scholars celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of
Noth's important volume and reviewing his other contributions to
Old Testament study. Part I discusses Noth's life and work
(Christopher Begg), his view of the Deuteronomistic History (Antony
Campbell) and the Chronicler's History (Roddy Braun), his
contributions to the history of Israel (Thomas Thompson), tradition
criticism (Rolf Rendtorff), and Old Testament theology (Timo
Veijola), as well as reflections on Noth's impact on current and
future study (David Noel Freedman, Walter Dietrich). Part II
analyses the scholarship over the past fifty years on each book in
the Deuteronomistic History: Deuteronomy (Thomas Romer), Joshua
(Brian Peckham), Judges (Mark O'Brien), 1-2 Samuel (P. Kyle
McCarter), and 1-2 Kings (Steven McKenzie).
A collection of seventeen articles by colleagues and former
students of Professor J. Maxwell Miller who taught at the Candler
School of Theology, Emory University. The papers deal with the
history, chronology, geography, archaeology and epigraphy of
ancient Israel and its setting in the Levant, and range from broad
methodological discussions of historiography to focused analyses of
individual texts or historical issues. A review of Miller's career
and a select bibliography of his publications are also
included.>
This volume of essays, dedicated to the late Raymond B. Dillard,
addresses the question, 'Was the Chronicler a Historian?' It
includes profiles of the diverse kinds of material found in
Chronicles, and assesses their value for the reconstruction of the
history of ancient Israel. This collection represents the best of
recent scholarship on a subject that is generating intense
discussion in biblical research.>
The publication of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses in 1517
immediately elicited responses from dozens of Roman Catholics in
Germany and beyond. While Luther's works and those of his leading
supporters have been available in English translation for many
years, those of most of his Catholic opponents have not. In order
to address this imbalance, win a fairer hearing for the Catholic
opposition, and make it possible for students to understand both
sides of the sixteenth-century religious debates, translators have
drawn on the rich resources of the Kessler Reformation Collection
at the Pitts Theology Library to present here introductions to and
translations of ten Catholic pamphlets. The volume begins with an
essay sketching the larger background for these publications. The
editors' hope is that this book will prove useful for teaching and
research and will foster a deeper understanding of the
sixteenth-century theological discussions by allowing today's
readers to hear voices that have been mostly silent in the
English-speaking world for centuries.
Scholarship in the Hebrew Scriptures is more bountiful and
diverse than ever before, a situation that presents a formidable
challenge to the student trying to understand the critical issues
in Hebrew Bible study. This book deals with each section of the
canon and explains the standard questions, with special attention
to points of scholarly agreement and contention. Written by an
international group of preeminent scholars, this collection is
intended for readers with a diversity of interests and is
specifically designed for those making their first acquaintance
with the complex character of the Hebrew Bible or Old
Testament.
History and Interpretation is a collection of seventeen essays on
the Old Testament and the history of ancient Israel and
commemorates the sixtieth birthday of John H. Hayes, Professor of
Old Testament at Candler School of Theology (Emory University). All
the contributors were Hayes's doctoral students at Emory, and their
essays cover a wide range of topics that reflect their teachers own
scholarly interests-from historical geography and the history of
ancient Israel to religion, theology, and the exegesis of
individual texts. The methodologies employed are equally diverse:
some focus on text-critical or form-critical issues, while others
are essentially historical, rhetorical, or literary critical
studies. Three essays are devoted to the Pentateuch, three to the
Historical Books, four to the Prophets, and seven to the history of
ancient Israel. A bibliography of Professor Hayes's publications is
also included.
A collection of fifteen articles by colleagues and former students
of Professor Willis of Abilene Christian University. The papers
deal with the topic of worship from a variety of perspectives and,
in different connections, with the life and thought of ancient
Israel. These include the participation of foreigners in the
worship of ancient Israel, the prophetic critique of the cult, the
tradition of the construction of the Jerusalem temple, women and
prayer in the Deutero-canonical literature, various ethical aspects
of worship and the value placed on the internal dynamics of worship
offered to God, the Psalms and ancient Near Eastern mourning
customs, and some of the implications of the Old Testament
tradition regarding worship for contemporary communities of faith.
A select bibliography of Willis's writings is also included.>
This volume represents an international collaboration focusing on
the books of Chronicles as literature, looking at their literary
sources, their techniques of composition, their perspectives, how
they were read in antiquity, and the value of contemporary reading
strategies for bringing the text to life in the present day. It
opens with five 'Overview' articles by Kai Peltonen, Steven
McKenzie, Graeme Auld, Rodney Duke and John Wright; William
Schniedewind, Gary Knoppers, Ehud Ben Zvi, Armin Siedlecki and
Howard Wallace deal with 'Themes'; and James Trotter, Christine
Mitchell, Kirsten Nielsen, Noel Bailey, Roland Boer and Magnar
Karveit address specific texts. The collection both reflects and
stimulates recent and contemporary fascination with the Chronicler
in biblical scholarship.>
The fifteen articles in this volume, arising from work in the
Chronicles-Ezra-Nehemiah Section of the Society of Biblical
Literature, engage with the author's thought and message through
analysis of certain critical texts or by identifying and tracing
larger themes through the work. The collection follows "The
Chronicler as Historian" and "The Chronicler as Author." Like these
previous volumes, this book also endeavours to show the diverse
approaches employed in Chronicles scholarship. Contributors: Robert
H. Smith, Allen W. Mueller, Gary N. Knoppers, Gerrie F. Snyman,
Ehud Ben Zvi, Philip Abadie, Mark A. Throntveit, Leslie C. Allen,
Christopher T. Begg, Roddy L. Braun, John C. Endres, Isaac Kalimi,
Brian E. Kelly, William M. Schniedewind and John W. Wright.
