Jesus

Klaus Berger

Pattloch

2004, 704

Umschlagtext: "Ein Leben lang hat der weltbekannte Heidelberger Theologe Klaus Berger über 'Jesus' geforscht. Nun legt er die reiche Summe seiner Erkenntnisse vor. Berger zeichnet ein Jesusbild, das voller Sprengstoff ist: Fremd, gross und provokant ragt der Mann aus Galiläa in unsere Zeit hinein. Dieses Buch wird Christen wie Skeptiker herausfordern, sich mit der Urgestalt des Christentums ganz neu zu befassen."

Sind die Berichte des Neuen Testaments wahr? Ein Weg zum Verstehen der Bibel

Klaus Berger

Chr. Kaiser/Gütersloher Verlagshaus

2002, 213 Seiten

Umschlagtext: "Wir haben uns daran gewöhnt: 'Eigentlich' sind die biblischen Geschichten 'so' nicht geschehen. Generationen von Exegeten haben das Ungeheuerliche der Testamente aufs Erträglichste kleinerklärt. Dagegen wendet sich Klaus Berger.

In gewohnter Klarheit der Sprache und der Position prüft er die Wahrheitskriterien, wie sie in der Diskussion um die Bibel angewandt werden. Und er geht darüber hinaus. Anschaulich dargestellt an zahlreichen Beispielen probiert er einen neuen Ansatz in der wissenschaftlich verantworteten Auslegung der Bibel. Seine These lautet: Verstanden als mystische Fakten beschreiben selbst die krassen Wundergeschichten der Bibel eine eigenständige Wirklichkeit!"

Beyond the River Chebar. Studies in Kingship and Eschatology in the Book of Ezekiel

Daniel I. Block

Cascade Books

2013, 238 Seiten

Vom Umschlagtext: "This is the second of two volumes of Block's essays on the book of Ezekiel. The essays in this volume explore the theme of Kingship in Ezekiel - both his assessment of Judah's historical kings and his hope for a restored Davidic King/Prince - and the mysterious visions concerning Gog's attack on restored Israel (Ezek 38-39) and concerning the new temple (40-48). Block brings to bear decades of study of the book to open up fresh insights on the ancient text."

By the River Chebar. Historical, Literary and Theological Studies in the Book of Ezekiel

Daniel I. Block

Cascade Books

2013, 315 Seiten

Umschlagtext: "To many readers the book of Ezekiel is a hopeless riddle. We still find many features of the man and his message difficult and sometimes even shocking, if not offensive. The bizarre opening visions catches us off guard and tempts us to stop reading. However, if we persist, and if we mediate long and hard on individual utterances and sign actions, we will discover that despite the strangeness of the man and his utterances, this is the most clearly organized of the major prophetic books. Individual prophecies are clearly marked by headings and often by conclusions. If we persist, we will also discover that from a rhetorical perspective, this priestly prophet knew his audience; he recognized in Judah's rebellion against YHWH the underlying cause of the divine fury that resulted in the exile of his people and the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586 BCE. But he also recognized that YHWH's judgment could not be the last word. Because his covenant was eternal and irrevocable he looked forward to a day of spiritual renewal and national restoration."

Bleibendes Nachwirken des Exils. Untersuchung zur kanonischen Endgestalt des Ezechielbuches

Tobias Häner

Herders Biblische Studien 78

Herder Verlag

2014, 603 Seiten

Umschlagtext: "Das Werk zeichnet die Hauptetappen des Leseprozesses des Ezechielbuches nach. Die Katastrophe des Falls Jerusalems und der Zerstörung des Tempels im Zuge der babylonischen Invasion und die spätere Ermöglichung der Rückkehr der Verschleppten aus dem babylonischen Exil kommen in dem Prophetenbuch als Ereignisse in den Blick, die ein bleibendes Nachwirken evozieren: Just aus den schuldverfallenen und jeglicher Hoffnung beraubten Exilierten schafft JHWH in der Konzeption des Ezechielbuches das neue Israel, das folglich bleibend auf die Unverdientheit der gottgewirkten Erneuerung rückverwiesen ist."

The Finger of the Scribe. How Scribes Learned to Write the Bible

William M. Schniedewind

Oxford University Press

2019, 236 Seiten

Umschlagtext: "One of the enduring problems in biblical studies is how the Bible came to be written. Clearly, scribes were involved. But our knowledge of scribal training in ancient Israel is limited. William Schniedewind explores the unexpected cache of inscriptions discovered at the remote, Iron Age military post Kuntillet 'Ajrud to assess the question of how scribes might have been taught to write. Here, far from such urban centers as Jerusalem or Samaria, plaster walls and storage pithoi were littered with inscriptions. Apart from the sensational nature of some of the contents [...] these inscriptions also reflect actual writing practices among soldiers stationed near the frontier. What emerges is a very different picture of how writing might have been taught, as opposed to the standard view of scribal schools in the main population centers."

Israels Exil in Juda. Untersuchungen zur Entstehung der Schriftprophetie

Wolfgang Schütte

Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis 279

Academic Press Fribourg / Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht

2016, 275 Seiten

Verlagstext: "Schütte untersucht die frühe Schriftprophetie auf Bedingungen ihrer literarischen Entstehung. Er bezieht ihre Rede von 'Israel' exklusiv auf Bewohner des Staates Israel, die nach 722 v. Chr. in Juda Zuflucht suchten, und beschreibt das biblische 'Israel'-Konzept der Schrift­prophetie. Deren Anfänge als israelitische Exilliteratur in Juda leitet er von einer ursprünglichen 'Insider'-Literatur des 8./.7. Jhs. v. Chr. her, deren direkt angesprochene Adressaten zwar unbenannt bleiben, in größeren Redeeinheiten der biblischen Schriftprophetie aber erkennbar sind."

The Image of God in the Garden of Eden. The Creation of Humankind in Genesis 2:5-3:24 in Light of mis pi pit pi and wpt-r Rituals of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt

Catherine L. McDowell

Siphrut 15

Eisenbrauns

2015, 245 Seiten

Vom Umschlagtext: "Catherine McDowell presents a detailes and insightful analysis of the creation of 'adam in Gen 2:5-3:24 in light of the Mesopotamian mis pi pit pi and the Egyptian wpt-r rituals for the creation of a divine image. Parallels between the mouth washing and opening rituals and the Eden story suggest that the biblical author was composing and contrasting human creation with the ritual creation, animation, and installation of a cult statue in order to redefine selem 'elohim as a human being - the living likeness of God tending and serving in the sacred garden.

[...] Further, she discusses critical issues, noting the problems inherent in the traditional views on the dating and authorship of Gen 1-3 and the relationship between the two creation accounts. [...]

When Gen 1-3 are read together [...], these texts redefine the divine-human relationship using three significant and theologically laden categories: kinship, kingship, and cult. Thus, they provide an important lens through which to view the relationship between God and humanity as presented in the rest of the Bible."
