Eberhard Passarge

an excellent companion for biomedical sudents
As a Ph.D student in biochemistry, I found this book to be a very useful and comprehensive review. Also, I found it to be an excellent source for people who prefer reading diagrams and figures over long and boring texts. Over all, I recommend it for any one involved in biomedical studies or research. Other excellent books from the same publisher include color atlas of biochemistry and color ...

Rebuilding Identity: The Nehemiah-memoir And Its Earliest Readers (Beihefte Zur Zeitschrift Fur Die ...
Jacob L. Wright
Walter de Gruyter, 2004
This monograph presents a fresh and detailed treatment of the problems posed by the Nehemiah-Memoir. Starting from the pre-critical interpretations of Ezra-Neh, the study demonstrates that the use of the first-person does not suffice as a criterion for distinguishing between the verba Neemiae and the additions of later authors. The earliest edition of the Memoir is isolated to a building report, which was expanded as early generations of readers ...

"When Gods Were Men": The Embodied God in Biblical and Near Eastern Literature (Beihefte Zur Zeitschrift Fur ...
Esther J. Hamori
Walter de Gruyter, 2008
In the texts of Genesis 18 and 32, God appears to a patriarch in person and is referred to by the narrator as a man, both times by the Hebrew word sh. In both texts, God as sh is described in graphically human terms. This type of divine appearance is identified here as the sh theophany. The phenomenon of God appearing in concrete human form is first distinguished from several other types of anthropomorphism, such as divine appearance in ...

Ezra The Scribe: The Development Of Ezra 7-10 And Nehemia 8 (Beihefte Zur Zeitschrift Fur Die ...
Juha Pakkala
Walter de Gruyter, 2004
This monograph investigates the literary development of Ezra 7-10 and Neh 8. With a detailed literary critical analysis the investigation shows that the text was produced in several successive editorial phases for at least two centuries. The final text cannot be used for historical purposes. The oldest text emerged as a short narrative, entirely written in the third person. It describes how a Torah scribe (Schriftgelehrter) called Ezra came from ...

Stephen Charles Haar
Walter de Gruyter, 2003
This text aims to add impetus to the investigation of early Christianity and the questions surrounding the origin and nature of gnosticism. The study includes: a departure from the traditional exegesis of "Acts 8, 5-24" (the first narrative source of Simon), and the later - following - reports of ancient Christian writers; an overview of the literature of Graeco-Roman antiquity to determine the contribution of "magic" and "the Magoi" in the ...

Ben Sira's God (Beihefte Zur Zeitschrift Fur Die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft)
Walter de Gruyter, 2002
What is said about God in Ben Sira is illuminated against Old and New Testament background. This volume of proceedings contains separate overarching and exegetic studies on the subject matter. A broad consideration of Jewish influence throughout history rounds out the picture. In addition to individual studies, the appendix offers various reports relating to Ben Sira and a list of errata for the edition by P. C. Beentjes.

Walter De Gruyter Inc, 2004
An interpretation of Leviticus 20, updated for publication. In addition to classical methods of exegesis, it also uses other approaches, particularly those from cultural anthropology. The study first clarifies the scholarly prerequisites for an interpretation of the text, working on the assumption that Leviticus 17-26 is an integral part of the Priestly Source ("P" text). The text itself is examined in both its synchronic and diachronic aspects ...

The Restoration of Israel: Israel's Re-gathering and the Fate of the Nations in Early Jewish Literature and ...
Michael E. Fuller
Walter de Gruyter, 2006
This study identifies and explores texts of restoration in a wide selection of Early Jewish Literature in order to assess the variety of ways in which Jews envisioned Israel's future restoration. Particular attention is given to the expression of restoration in what is identified in the present study as the exilic model of restoration. In this model, Israel's restoration is characterized by the features of a future re-gathering, the fate of the ...

The Vitality of Enjoyment in Qohelet's Theological Rhetoric (Beiheft Zur Zeitschrift Fur Die ...
Eunny P. Lee
Walter De Gruyter Inc, 2005
This study explores the interplay between the commendation of enjoyment and the injunction to fear God in Ecclesiastes. Previous studies have tended to examine these seemingly antithetical themes in isolation from one another. Seeing enjoyment and fear to be positively correlated, however, enables a fresh articulation of the book?s theology. Enjoyment of life lies at the heart of Qohelet?s vision of piety, which may be characterized as faithful ...

The Social Meanings Of Sacrifice In The Hebrew Bible: A Study Of Four Writings (Beihefte Zur Zeitschrift Fur ...
David Janzen
Walter de Gruyter, 2004
This work uses anthropological theory and field studies to investigate the social function and meaning of sacrifice. All rituals, including sacrifice, communicate social beliefs and morality, but these cannot be determined outside of a study of the social context. Thus, there is no single explanation for sacrifice - such as those advanced by Rene Girard or Walter Burkert or late-19th and early-20th century scholars. The book then examines four ...

Reconceptualising Conversion: Patronage, Loyalty, And Conversion In The Religions Of The Ancient ...1 review
Zeba A. Crook
Walter de Gruyter, 2004
"What's in it for me?"
Zeba Crook's premise is that the key to understanding ancient conversion is "benefaction", or what is gained, as opposed to introspective soul-searching. With trademark Context-Group gusto, he undercuts cross-cultural psychology which wrongly assumes that all people share the same psychological structure underneath a veneer of cultural difference. The cultural divide between Mediterranean and ...

Childbirth as a Metaphor for Crisis: Evidence from the Ancient Near East, the Hebrew Bible, and 1QH XI, 1-18 ...
Bergmann, Claudia D.
Walter de Gruyter, 2008
Crises and catastrophes of all kinds have always confronted humans with great challenges. The present study examines the question of how literary texts process and deal with these challenges through the imaginary world of metaphors. It concentrates on the metaphor of childbirth, which compares people racked with crisis to women in labour (and sometimes vice versa). The texts examined are taken from the Ancient Orient and the Old Testament, ...
