Ένα νέο βιβλίο για την ελπίδα της ανάστασης / A new book on the hope of resurrection

Από τις εκδόσεις Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht κυκλοφόρησε ένα νέο βιβλίο για την πρωτοχριστιανική ελπίδα της ανάστασης των νεκρών. Ο συγγραφέας του, Jürgen Becker, εστιάζει τη μελέτη του στο ζήτημα των απαρχών και της εξέλιξης της πίστης στην ανάσταση των νεκρών καθώς και στο θεολογικό υπόβαθρο και τις θεολογικές προεκτάσεις αυτής της πίστης. Μάλιστα, συχνά αντιπαραβάλλει αυτήν την πρωτοχριστιανική προσδοκία με τη σύγχρονη χριστιανική αντίληψη για την ανάσταση των νεκρών, καθιστώντας έτσι τη μελέτη του εξαιρετικά ωφέλιμη και για τις σύγχρονες θεολογικές συζητήσεις περί ανάστασης:

Jonathan Z. Smith (30.12.2017)

Έφυγε από τη ζωή την τελευταία μέρα του 2017 ο γνωστός ιστορικός των θρησκειών Jonathan Z. Map is Not Territory (1975), Imagining Religion: From Babylon to Jonestown (1982), To Take Place: Toward Theory in Ritual (1987), Drudgery Divine: On the Comparison of Early Christianities and the Religions of Late Antiquity (1990), and Relating Religion: Essays in the Study of Religion (2004). 

Smith. Διετέλεσε καθηγητής στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Chicago και υπήρξε μέλος της American Academy of Arts and Sciences και πρόεδρος της SBL. Το έργο του συνέβαλε ουσιαστικά στον επαναπροσδιορισμό του τρόπου κατανόησης της θρησκείας και ειδικότερα των θρησκευτικών φαινομένων του ελληνορωμαϊκού κόσμου. Σημαντικές μελέτες του:

Οι ραββίνοι κι ο ελληνορωμαϊκός πολιτισμός / Rabbis and Graeco-Roman culture

Ο Burton L. Visotzky (Jewish Theological Seminary) συζητά στο σύντομο άρθρο του στην ιστοσελίδα The Bible and Interpretation ποια στοιχεία του ελληνορωμαϊκού πολιτισμού αφομοίωσαν οι ραββίνοι, τα οποία τελικά έπαιξαν σημαντικό ρόλο στη διαμόρφωση του Ιουδαϊσμού μετά το 70 μ.Χ.

How the Rabbis Adapted Roman Culture to Create Judaism as We Know It
