Collective Memory and Collective Identity
“Collective memory” has attracted the attention and discussion of scholars internationally across academic disciplines over the past 40−50 years in particular. It and "collective identity" have become important issues within Hebrew Bible/Old Testament studies; the role collective memory plays in shaping collective identity links the two organically. Research to date on memory within biblical studies broadly falls under four approaches: 1) lexical studies; 2) discussions of biblical historiography in which memory is considered a contributing element; 3) topical explorations for which memory is an organizing concept; and 4) memory and transmission studies. The sixteen contributors to this volume provide detailed investigations of the contours of collective memory and collective identity that have crystallized in Martin Noth's "Deuteronomistic History" (Deut-2 Kgs). Together, they yield diverse profiles of collective memory and collective identity that draw comparatively on biblical, ancient Near eastern, and classical Greek material, employing one of more of the four common approaches. This is the first volume devoted to applying memory studies to the "Deuteronomistic History."
Whom to blame for Judah’s doom?
The last kings of Juda led God’s people directly into exile and thus in the catastrophe of the destruction of the First temple. How did that happen? Who was responsible? What kind of role did God play in this drama? These questions will be addressed by Benedikt Josef Collinet. Unlike the narrative suggests, the kings were not the protagonists of the drama but the antagonists to God instead. God used the neighbouring peoples and Babel as tools of punishment. The reason for these punishments was the systemic covenant break of God’s people. The consequences of these punishments can be read in Deuteronomy 28. The story is a composed deconstruction of divine salvation promises. The salvation gifts were withdrawn but the promises still remained. The people needed a new beginning that with reference to the exodus could only be indicated or prepared by pardoning Jehoiachin (2 Kings 25:27–30).
Einleitung in das Alte Testament
Diese Einleitung zum Alten Testament, herausgegeben von Hendrik Koorevaar und Walter Hilbrands beleuchtet die Hintergründe der Entstehung der Bücher des Alten Testaments und gibt Einblicke in deren Aufbau und Theologie. Die Autoren gehen in der Einleitungswissenschaft neue Wege, indem sie zum einen die biblischen Texte als historische Zeugnisse ernst nehmen und zum anderen ihrer Stellung und ihrer Bedeutung im Kanon des Alten Testaments hohe Bedeutung beimessen. Ausgangspunkt ist das Zeugnis der alttestamentlichen Autoren und ihrer Texte selbst. Die historischen und chronologischen Angaben des Alten Testaments werden ernstgenommen und in Auseinandersetzung mit dem bisherigen Forschungsstan...
Scripture and Theology
The academic disciplines of Biblical Studies and Systematic Theology were long closely linked to one another. However, in the modern period they became gradually separated which led to increasing subject specialization, but also to a lamentable lacuna within the various branches of Divinity. As the lack of dialogue between Biblical Studies and the various theological disciplines increased, a minority-group of scholars in the past few decades reacted and sought to re-establish the time-honoured bonds between the disciplines. The present volume is part of this intellectual response, with contributions from scholars of various professional and denominational backgrounds. Together, the book's 25 chapters seek to reinvigorate the crucial cross-disciplinary dialogue, involving biblical, narrative, historical, systematic-theological and philosophic-theological perspectives. The book opens the horizon to contemporary research, and fills a lamentable research gap with a number of fresh contributions from scholars in the respective sub-disciplines
Das Abrahamopfer im Kontext von Gen 12-25
"Ein Gott, der sein Versprechen für nichtig erklärt? Jonathan Rodrian untersucht die Erzählung von der 'Opferung Isaaks' vor dem Hintergrund der Abrahamerzählungen. Mit Blick auf das Gottesbild zeigt sich: An Gottes Verheißung lasst sich auch dann festhalten, wenn Gott selbst seine eigene Zuwendung in Frage zu stellen scheint." --
