Avigail Manekin-Bamberger, "Who were the Jewish ‘magicians’ behind the Aramaic incantation bowls?" 235-254

This article focuses on the social and professional contexts of the producers of Jewish Aramaic incantation bowls. Based on the vast amount of legal terminology deployed in the bowls, as well as a reference to bowl writers as ‘writers of books’ in bowl AMB6, I argue that bowl scribes were part of a professional guild of scribes (soferim) that engaged in a variety of forms of Jewish writing. Furthermore, I suggest that the scribal context of the practitioners of the magic bowls was different from the professional context of the contemporaneous corpus of Jewish metal amulets. Identifying the unique Sitz im Leben of the bowls reveals that for Jews in Sasanian Babylonia the line between magic, law and religion was not rigid, and perhaps non-existent. Further work on the context of ancient Jewish magic may therefore lead to new perceptions of ancient Jewish society.

Sonja Noll, "In pursuit of a hapax: divergent interpretations of the root s-k-t," 255-268

A shift occurred in the lexicographical tradition of the hapax legomenon הַסְכֵּת (Deut. 27:9) between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The hiphil imperative had previously been understood to mean ‘listen’ or ‘pay attention’, a tradition reflected in the Targumim, Peshitta, Vulgate, Aquila and early dictionaries. With the introduction of Arabic cognate evidence into Hebrew dictionaries in the seventeenth century, however, the meaning ‘be silent’, from the Arabic cognate سكت, began to appear in entries for this root. Dictionaries also began to include the translation σιώπα, ‘be silent’, from the Greek Septuagint, and eventually the gloss ‘be silent’ replaced ‘listen’ in bilingual biblical Hebrew dictionaries. The difference in meaning is minor, but this case study serves to illustrate the striking influence of cognate scholarship on the development of biblical Hebrew dictionaries.

Reuven Friedman, "A tale of two baraitot: the Western Galilee borders of the rabbis in archaeology and texts," 269-296

The purported border of Jewish settlement in the Western Galilee is identified in two separate tannaitic texts, each referring to the ̔Akko–Akhziv road. One text cites this road as the western border of Jewish settlement, while the other cites the same road as the eastern border. The border of Jewish settlement is also described in another rabbinic text, also discovered in the Reḥov synagogue excavations. This text is inconsistent with the texts referring to the ̔Akko–Akhziv road. Archaeologists give priority to the Reḥov inscription and dismiss the contradictory texts as a scribal error. Talmudic scholars validate the authenticity of the apparently contradictory texts using critical textual analysis, but leave the apparent contradictions unresolved. This article uses archaeological evidence in conjunction with a critical review of the texts to resolve the apparent contradiction, proving that the rabbinic texts authenticated by Talmudic scholars are consistent with the Reḥov inscription.

Θρησκευτική ανανέωση και γραφές στα βιβλία 4 Έσδρα και 2 Βαρούχ / Religious innovation and Scriptures in 4 Esdra and 2 Baruch

 Στην ιστοσελίδα The Bible and Interpretation δημοσιεύεται το άρθρο της Lydia Gore-Jones για το ρόλο των Γραφών στα κείμενα 4 Έσδρα και 2 Βαρούχ και το πώς αυτά αντιλαμβάνονται τη θρησκευτική ανανέωση. Το βασικό ερώτημα που καλείται η συγγραφέας να απαντήσει είναι το πώς ο αρχαίος Ιουδαϊσμός προσπάθησε να απαντήσει τις προκλήσεις της εποχής του και να προσαρμόσει στις θεόπνευστες Γραφές του στις νέες καταστάσεις που αντιμετώπιζε. Μία τέτοια σημαντική πρόκληση είναι η καταστροφή του Ναού το 70 μ.Χ. Η θρησκευτική και πολιτική κρίση, που διέρχεται ο Ιουδαϊσμός τότε, αντικατοπτρίζεται στα 4 Έσδρα και 2 Βαρούχ:

Ο Ησαύ κι οι Εδωμίτες / Esau and the Edomites

 Στην ιστοσελίδα TheTorah.com ο Barry Dov Walfish απαντά στο ερώτημα, γιατί ο Ησαύ αντιμετωπίζεται με αρνητικό τρόπο στην ιουδαϊκή παράδοση. Υποστηρίζει μέσα από παραδείγματα ότι αυτό οφείλεται στη σύνδεση μέσα σε αυτήν την παράδοση του πρωτότοκου γιου του Ισαάκ με τους Εδωμίτες και αργότερα με τη Ρώμη και τους Χριστιανούς:

Ένα μακάβριο νέο εύρημα στην Πομπηία / A new macabre finding in Pompeii

Oι δύο νεκροί στη βίλλα της Πομπηίας, δεξιά
η σωρός του πιθανού δούλου (Φωτο: Ansa)

 Αρχαιολόγοι που εργάζονταν στην ανασκαφή της αρχαίας βίλλα 700 μ. ΒΔ της Πομπηίας έφεραν στο φως ένα μακάβριο εύρημα. Ας σημειωθεί ότι οι ανασκαφές στους στάβλους της οικίας το 2018 εντόπισαν τρία άλογα και μία σέλα. Πριν λίγους μήνες στην ίδια οικία εντοπίστηκε ένα γράφημα με το όνομα Mummia, μάλλον το όνομα του μικρού κοριτσιού της οικογένειας. Το νέο εύρημα είναι εξίσου εντυπωσιακό. Με τη μέθοδο των γύψινων εκμαγείων οι αρχαιολόγοι "ανέστησαν" τις σωρούς δύο κατοίκων της οικίας, οι οποίοι φαίνεται ότι προσπάθησαν να βρουν καταφύγιο στους υπόγειους χώρους της οικίας όπου τους βρήκε η φονική λάβα του Βεζούβιου. Πρόκειται για έναν νεαρό άνδρα, ηλικίας μεταξύ 18 και 23. Με βάση την ενδυμασία του και τους τραυματισμούς και κατάγματα που φέρει οι αρχαιολόγοι εκτιμούν ότι πρόκειται για δούλο. Το δεύτερο θύμα είναι μεγαλύτερο στην ηλικία (30-40 ετών). Κοντά τους βρέθηκαν τα υπολείμματα μίας στοίβας υφασμάτων. Σε κάθε περίπτωση οι αρχαιολόγοι εκτιμούν ότι θα είναι σε θέση να καταλήξουν σε περισσότερα συμπεράσματα για την ταυτότητα των δύο ανδρών, για το πού κατευθύνονταν κτλ. Προς το παρόν εκτιμούν ότι ο θάνατός τους έλαβε χώρα το πρωί της δεύτερης μέρας της έκρηξης του Βεζουβίου (25.10.79 μ.Χ):

Παράσταση πιθήκων, αίθουσα 6,
κτιριακό συγκρότημα Β, Ακρωτήρι
(Φωτο:Thera Akrotiri Excavations)

 Η Marie N. Pareja (University of Pennsylvania) συζητά τις απεικονίσεις πιθήκων στις τοιχογραφίες από
το Ακρωτήρι της Θήρας. Υποστηρίζει ότι πρόκειται για ένας είδος βαβουΐνων που απαντά στην Ινδία.  Η παλαιότερη έρευνα υποστήριξε ότι οι πίθηκοι ήταν γνωστοί στη Θήρα από την Αίγυπτο, νεότερες όμως μελέτες δείχνουν ως πιο πιθανή την Ινδία ως τόπο προέλευσης. Εάν αυτή η υπόθεση ισχύει, τότε οι τοιχογραφίες στο Ακρωτήρι παρέχουν έμμεση απόδειξη των επαφών των κατοίκων του Αιγαίου με την Ινδία κατά την Εποχή του Χαλκού:

[Eυχαριστώ τη συνάδελφο καθ. Κυριακούλα Παπαδημητρίου για την αποστολή της ελληνικής μετάφρασης της περίληψης]

Είναι σημαντικό να ανοίξουμε τις στήλες του Sémiotique & Bible και σε άλλες ερμηνευτικές συλλογιστικές, όπως αυτή της Κυριακούλας Παπαδημητρίου, Καθηγήτριας Σημειωτικής στην Ελλάδα, που δείχνει πώς η προσέγγιση του Austin, η οποία άνοιξε η ίδια νέους ερμηνευτικούς ορίζοντες, αναπτύσσοντας την προσέγγιση της επιτελεστικής διάστασης της γλώσσας, δεν έκανε κάτι άλλο παρά να αποκαλύψει αυτό με το οποίο οι Πατέρες της Εκκλησίας, ιδίως ο Άγιος Ιωάννης Χρυσόστομος, είχαν ήδη θρέψει την ερμηνευτική τους. Το άρθρο της Κυριακούλας Παπαδημητρίου μας προσφέρει, εξάλλου, την ευκαιρία να θεσουμε ένα συναρπαστικό θεωρητικό ερώτημα: ποιες ομοιότητες και ποιες διαφορές θα υπήρχαν μεταξύ των επιτελεστικών πράξεων του λόγου του Austin και της εκφώνησης, όπως κατανοείται στη διατριβή του Olivier Robin ή, ευρύτερα, στα έργα του CADIR; Ή το ερώτημα: κι αν η πατερική ερμηνευτική περικρύβει κι άλλα πλούτη, για τα οποία οι 20ός και 21ος αιώνες δεν έχουν ακόμη παρουσιάσει μία θεωρία;

Gottfried Schimanowski, "Das Vaterunser als elementarer Baustein lukanischer Theologie," 119-148

Luke is the canonical Gospel with the most material on prayer; you could say: “the evangelist of prayer”. This subject therefore should play an important role in Lucan theology. Especially in the narrative of chapter 11, Luke includes an extended section on prayer, inclusive the Lord’s Prayer (five petitions or lines: “Pentalogue”) – in a different form compared with Matthew (six or seven petitions, or perhaps ten lines to utter: “Decalogue”). Perhaps the narrative in the description of Jesus and the development of the disciples could explain the difference from placing the material in Matthew. But surely both versions show that the message and the content of the Lord’s Prayer are totally in accordance to the teaching and praying of Jesus himself! Several perspectives should be considered: the context and especially the introduction of the ch.11 in Luke; the addressing: God, the Father; all the different petitions of the prayer itself. Nevertheless, to Luke, prayer is central in the discipleship Jesus calls his followers to. The audience is in a very direct way thought to participate in God’s work through prayer. On the canonical Gospels, it is only in Luke that prayer is the central act of piety and devotion. But what does this mean in direction of the theological understanding of the evangelist himself?

Gheorghe Șchiopu-Constantin, "Job's Behaviour Towards Disanvantaged People in Society: An Exegetical Study of the Text of Job 31:16-23," 149-164

Job 31 is a chapter that arouses both confusion and amazement. The perplexity is given by the negative-imprecative way in which, for the last time, Job defends his behaviour during his prosperity. The amazement emerges from the values that are highlighted by him, starting from the motivations and intentions, and continuing with the nature of the words and the manifested acts. Job 31:16-23 is the rendering of the way in which Job used to behave with the poor and defenseless people of society. Job's concern for the poor is a benevolent modus operandi, derived from a modus vivendi whose intrinsic motivations discover an ethic of epitomical nature in relation to the disadvantaged ones in society.

Walter Dietrich, "König David - Ein andächtig-kritisches Porträt," 165-178

The biblical portrait of David is not at all onesided but multifaceted and colourful. He is, particularly in the Books of Samuel, depicted as a venerable man and king on the one side and as a fallible and deterrent monarch on the other side. His best qualities are: he is a master of music and poetry, his rise from a nobody to a powerful king is admirable, he is able to avoid violence and to spare human life, and he became the founder of a powerful and longstanding dynasty. The dark sides of David are: he seems to be a classical usurper, he has been a man of violence and war, he made himself guilty of horrifying crimes, he was unable to manage a peaceful life within his family and a fruitful transition from his rule to his son and successor Solomon. The superscription of his biblical portrait could be: «ecce rex» and «ecce homo».

Hans Klein, "Die Enrwicklung im Denken des Paulus über Israel in Röm 9-11," 196-212

Röm 9-11 ist ein einzigartiger Entwurf zur Frage des Schicksals Israels angesichts der Annahme der Heiden in die werdende Kirche. Die vorliegende Studie bemüht sich um den Nachweis, dass das berühmte Geheiminis der Rettung Gesamtisraels dem Apostel erst beim Schreiben des Römerbriefes als Offenbarung zuteilwurde. Eine genaue Beachtung des komplizierten Satzgefüges in Röm 9,22f kann zum Schluss führen, dass ihm dieses Geheimnis erst nach der Niederschrift der Aussagen dieser Verse geschenkt wurde.

Mandy McMichael, "All Out of Tune: The Failures of The Psalmist to Keep the Peace," 161–73

An examination of The Psalmist, a hymnal published in 1843 and intended for the entire community of Baptists in America, illustrates a divide between Baptists North and South. Compiled by two northern ministers, Baron Stow and S. F. Smith, the original Psalmist omitted many hymns popular in the South, making it a less attractive option for the region. The omissions are understandable, since Baptists North and South espoused conflicting views about the composition and function of hymns and denominational structures. They preferred different liturgical contexts, read and interpreted scripture through different lenses, and held different theologies. For this reason, the original Psalmist received a Supplement. Still, it failed to unite Baptists North and South. Looking closely at the Psalmist and its subsequent Supplement illumines larger cultural and geographic divides by revealing as much about history as it does about musical tastes. Together, The Psalmist and its Supplement serve as excellent prisms for understanding what was at work in Baptist schism.
