| Title: "Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. The History of Its Interpretation. Vol 1: From the Beginnings to the Middle Ages (Until 1300), Part 1, Antiquity" Type: Generic Year: 1996 Abstract: "After an introduction by Saebo on historiographical problems and challenges, this volume presents five chapters on the beginnings of scriptural interpretation: inner-biblical exegesis (M. Fishbane); the interpretative significance of a fixed text and canon of the Hebrew and the Greek Bible (E. Tov, J. Barton, J. W. Wevers); early Jewish biblical interpretation in the Qumran literature (J. Maier); early Jewish interpretation in a Hellenistic style (F. Siegert); and Scripture and canon in the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha (R. A. Kraft) and in Josephus' writings (S. Mason with Kraft). Then there are seventeen chapters on the parting of the ways, and Jewish and Christian scriptural interpretation in antiquity: social and institutional conditions for early Jewish and Christian interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, with special regard to religious groups and sects (J. Fossum); from inner-biblical interpretation to early rabbinic exegesis (J. M. Harris); the formative growth of the tradition of rabbinic interpretation (D. Kraemer, R. Kalmin, J. Neusner, E. Levine); NT interpretation of the OT (H. Hübner); the development of scrptural interpretation in the 2nd and 3rd centuries apart from Clement and Origen (O. Skarsaune); the question of the OT canon and text in the early Greek church (Skarsaune); Greek philosophy, hermeneutics, and Alexandrian tradition (J. N. B. C. Paget); exegesis of the OT in the Antiochene school with its prevalent literal and historical method (S. Hidal); exegetical contacts between Christians and Jews in the Roman empire (G. Stemberger); the interpretative character of the Syriac OT (M. Weitzmann); the Christian Syriac tradition (L. Van Rompay); the Latin OT tradition (E. Schulz-Flügel); Jerome - his exegesis and hermeneutics (R. Kieffer); the reception of the Origenest tradition in Latin exegesis (C. Jacob); Augustine - his exegesis and hermeneutics (D. F. Wright); and church and synagogue as the respective matrix of the development of an authoritative Bible interpretation (Saebo)." Keywords: Interpretation of the Bible in Ancient Judaism |
