The chapters in this volume clarify crucial aspects of Torah by exploring its relationship to sedaqa (righteousness). Observing the Torah is often considered to be the main identity-marker of Israel in the post-exilic period. However, sedaqa is also widely used as a force of group cohesion and as a resource for ethics without references to torah. The contributors to this volume explore these crucial themes for the post-exilic period, and show how they are related in the key texts that feature them. Though torah and sedaqa can have some aspects in common, especially when they are amended by aspects of creation, both terms are rarely linked to each other explicitly in the Old Testament, and if so, different relations are expressed. These are examined in this book. The opening of the book of Isaiah is shown to integrate torah-learning into a life of righteousness (sedaqa). In Deuteronomy sedaqa is shown to refer to torah-dictacticism, and in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah torah can be understood as symbol of sedaqa meaning the disposition of each individual to accept torah as prescriptive law. However, the chapters also show that these relationships are not exclusive and that sedaqa is not always linked to torah, for in late texts of Isaiah sedaqa is not realized by torah-observance, but by observing the Sabbath.

The current state of scholarship on the book of Ezekiel, one of the three Major Prophets, is robust. Ezekiel, unlike most pre-exilic prophetic collections, contains overt clues that its primary circulation was as a literary text and not a collection of oral speeches. The author was highly educated, the theology of the book is "dim," and its view of humanity is overwhelmingly negative. In The Oxford Handbook of Ezekiel, editor Corrine Carvalho brings together scholars from a diverse range of interpretive perspectives to explore one of the Bible's most debated books. Consisting of twenty-seven essays, the Handbook provides introductions to the major trends in the scholarship of Ezekiel, covering its history, current state, and emerging directions. After an introductory overview of these trends, each essay discusses an important element in the scholarly engagement with the book. Several essays discuss the history of the text (its historical context, redactional layers, text criticism, and use of other Israelite and near eastern traditions). Others focus on key themes in the book (such as temple, priesthood, law, and politics), while still others look at the book's reception history and contextual interpretations (including art, Christian use, gender approaches, postcolonial approaches, and trauma theory). Taken together, these essays demonstrate the vibrancy of Ezekiel research in the twenty-first century.

A Torah discourse of the Lubavitcher Rebbe usually revolves around a question, sometimes seemingly microscopictension serving as a point of departure for the Rebbes discussion. To hear or read such a discussion is to embark on a journey in which we are challenged and forced to move, and at the end stand far from where we began. Here, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, serves as guide to that journey, elucidating the question in each discourse and explaining its context. In this collection of lucid adaptations of the Rebbes talks on the weekly Torah readings and Jewish holidays, each question is not only resolved but also revealed to be the starting point of a major spiritual search, a journey to the inner sanctum of Torah. With descriptive introductions to each chapter and extensive indexes, Torah Studies is an important gateway to the Rebbes teaching and legacy.

Die Bücher Esra/Nehemia und Jesaja sind Teil des Diskurses um die Konstituierung des nachexilischen Israel. Sie unterscheiden sich nicht nur in der Konstruktion des nachexilischen Gemeinwesens, sondern auch in ihren Begründungen. Untersucht man den Bezug auf Gott, den Rückgriff auf vorgegebene Traditionen, den Entwurf eines gemeinsamen Ethos und die Bedeutung von Raum und Zeit, sind die beiden Positionen wie folgt zu charakterisieren: Das Buch Esra/Nehemia nimmt explizit auf Traditionen Bezug, das Gemeinwesen konstituiert sich auf der Basis der Tora als Erinnerungssowie Lerngemeinschaft und Heiligung wird nach innen und außen praktiziert. Die jesajanische Prophetie sieht besonders in Gott den Garanten für die Zukunft des Gemeinwesens, das wesentlich auf Gerechtigkeit basiert und sich für die Menschen aus den Völkern öffnet. The books of Ezra/Nehemiah and Isaiah make up part of the discourse on the constitution of post-exilic Israel. They differ not only in the construction of the post-exilic community, but also in their justifications. If one examines the relation to God, the recourse to given traditions, the draft of a common ethos and the meaning of space and time, the two positions are to be characterised as follows: the book of Ezra/Nehemiah explicitly refers to traditions; the community is constituted on the basis of the Torah as a memory-based and learning community, and sanctification is practised internally and externally. Jesavian prophecy sees especially in God the guarantor of the future of the community, which is essentially based on justice and opens itself up to the people of the nations.

Bibeltexte und biblische Gestalten spielen in den Schriften der Kirchenväter eine wichtige Rolle. Dabei stehen meist die großen Männer im Zentrum des Interesses. Dennoch kommen auch die biblischen Frauen, von Sara und Hagar bis Maria, nicht zu kurz. Sie sind Mütter, Prophetinnen, Lehrerinnen und vieles mehr. Sie dienen den männlichen Autoren als Beispiele und Vorbilder für die Frauen ihrer Zeit. Die gesellschaftlichen Rollenbilder und die sich entwickelnden Strukturen der Kirche prägen den Blick auf die biblischen Frauen, und die Exegeten passen sie den herrschenden Vorstellungen und Idealen an. Die Beiträge in diesem Band zeigen, wie biblische Frauen im soziokulturellen Kontext der Spätantike präsentiert und interpretiert wurden.

Mark A. Awabdy provides a nuanced and extensive understanding of the noun gr (ger, engl. immigrant) in the book of Deuteronomy (D). He argues that a precise reconstruction of the historical referents of D's ger is impossible and has led scholars to misread or overlook literary, theological, and sociological determinants. By analyzing D's ger texts and contexts, evidence emerges for: the non-Israelite and non-Judahite origins of D's ger; the distinction between the ger in D's prologue-epilogue and legal core; and the different meanings and origins of D's " ger-in-Egypt" and " 'ebed-in-Egypt" formulae. Awabdy further contends that D's revision of Exodus' Decalogue and Covenant Code and independence from H reveal D's tendencies to accommodate the ger and interface the ger with YHWH's redemption of Israel. He concludes by defining how D integrates the ger into the community of YHWH's people.

Ronald S. Hendel offers a careful and thorough re examination of the text of Genesis 1 11. He takes a strongly positive position on the value of the Septuagint as a reliable translation of its Hebrew parent text. This position is contrary to that taken in most existing studies of the text of Genesis, including some in standard editions and reference works. Nevertheless, Hendel shows, there is an accumulating mass of evidence indicating that his position is correct. Hendel begins with a discussion of theory and method, and points out the lessons to be learned from the new biblical manuscripts discovered at Qumran. He goes on to argue for the preparation of eclectic critical editions of books of the Hebrew Bible a task long pursued in Classical, New Testament, and Septuagint studies, but still highly controversial with respect to the Hebrew scriptures. The critical edition of Genesis 1 11 which follows is Hendel's first step toward such a comprehensive task.
