Die Griechen und das antike Israel (Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis, Band 201)

Freiburg, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2004. 199 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover. Aus archäologischer, landeskundlicher, althistorischer, literargeschichtlicher und religionsgeschichtlicher Perspektive wird die Frage erörtert, welche Spuren griechischer Kultur vor dem Alexanderfeldzug in Palästina zu finden sind und welche wahrnehmbaren Veränderungen der Alexanderfeldzug mit sich brachte. Dabei zeigt sich unter anderem, dass nicht von einem direkten Einfluss der Griechen auf das vorhellenistische Israel auszugehen ist, sondern die Phönizier als Kulturvermittler stärker in den Blick genommen worden sind.

BERNETT, MONIKA; OTHMAR KEEL

Mond, Stier und Kult am Stadttor: Die Stele von Betsaida (et-Tell) (Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis, Band 161)

Freiburg, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1998. 175 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover. In diesem Band werden Beschreibungen einer Bildstele zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht, die im Juni 1997 vom 'Bethsaida Excavations Project' entdeckt worden ist. Die Stele ist neben dem Stadttor von Betsaida (et-Tell; nördlich vom See Gennesaret) in einer Schicht des 8. Jh. v. Chr. am vermuteten Originalort gefunden worden. Zusammen mit den in ihrer unmittelbaren Umgebung gefundenen Gegenständen stellt sie die komplexeste und kompletteste Kultstätte an einem Stadttor dar, die in der südlichen Levante je ausgegraben worden ist. Die ungewohnte Ikonographie der Bildstele, die figurative (Stierkopf, Schwert) und nichtfigurative Elemente (›Gestell‹, ›Rosette‹) kombiniert, wird eingehend analysiert und mit Hilfe zahlreicher Parallelen gedeutet. Ein Überblick über vergleichbare Anlagen, deren Erwähnung in biblischen und nicht-biblischen Texten und ikonographische Zeugnisse erhellen, welche Rolle solche Kulteinrichtungen am Stadttor spielten.

Epsztein, Leon

Social Justice in the Ancient Near East and the People of the Bible

London, SCM Press, 2012. 178 pp. Good copy. Paperback. This book is one of a series of supplementary volumes published alongside the Jerusalem Bible in France and intended to provide a general introduction to the world in which the Bible is set; the series includes such famous titles as Jeremias' jerusa/em in the time of enis and de Vaux's Ancient Israel. It is an exhaustive study of the legal and sociological background of texts dealing with social justice, first in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and then in pre-exilic Israel. The author is a specialist in modern ethics, but has made himself thoroughly familiar with the relevant secondary literature. The book also contains an excellent bibliography on social ethics in ancient Israel and its environment, and a valuable historical survey of the development of scholarly study in this field, up to and including recent Marxist interpretations. The orientation of the book is basically sociological, which makes it a valuable corrective to an excessively theological view of biblical ethics, and anchors the ethical teaching of the biblical writers firmly in social reality. Why Israel should be the society where a call for social justice should be expressed so keenly in law and prophets is a fascinating historical and sociological question, and the author's answer is interesting and controversial. Welcoming the French edition in the Journal of Jewish Studies, John Barton said that an English edition would be invaluable as a student textbook in a surprisingly neglected field. Here it is.
