Mit dieser ersten Übersetzung des dritten Bandes aus der Serie „History Enlightened (Erleuchtete Geschichte)“ legt John Noyce einen qualifizierten Überblick auf mehr als 2.000 Jahre umfassende Einzelüberlieferungen spiritueller Tradition der Weisheit in Europa vor. Er beschränkt sich nicht nur auf traditionell als religiös charakterisierte Arbeiten, sondern bezieht sich auch auf Werke von Dante Alighieri, William Blake, Nicholas Roerich oder Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – um nur die bekanntesten zu nennen. Die Bezeichnung „Göttin“ auf die Qualität der Weisheit an sich anzuwenden, stützt für John Noyce nicht nur die für europäische Denkweisen eher ungewöhnliche Vorstellung von „einer Göttin, viele Manifestationen“. Besonders im Westen kann man die Weisheit auch als den vernachlässigten weiblichen Aspekt des männlich geprägten Gottesverständnisses verstehen, der unter unterschiedlichen Namen wie Sophia, Philosophia, Sapientia, Natura oder das Ewig-Weibliche mit Rat und Tat zur Seite steht. Die Ergebnisse des Autors lassen es nicht vermessen erscheinen, dieses Göttlich-Weibliche mit dem Heiligen Geist als mütterlichen Aspekt der christlichen Dreifaltigkeitsvorstellung gleichzusetzen. Die angeführten Beispiele belegen nicht nur, wie das Göttlich-Weibliche im Großraum Europa wahrgenommen und verehrt wurde, sondern verweisen auch auf ein bevorstehendes, neues Zeitalter im Zeichen des Advents dieses Prinzips. Das Buch offenbart einen in der europäischen Geschichte verborgen liegenden, gemeinsamen Schatz, den es lohnt, zu Tage zu fördern. Es ist ein Muss für jeden informierten und an Selbst-Erkenntnis interessierten Leser.

In this book, you can see how the divine has been perceived in feminine form. Here are ten of the best known goddesses from a variety of cultures -- East and West, past and present. A wide range is presented, from the fierce Durga, to the gentle, but firm, Sita; from the erotic goddeses Inanna and Aphrodite, to the chaste figures of Mary and Athena; from goddesses closely associated with material wealth such as Laksmi, to ethereal goddesses such as Kuan-yin. Each goddess is treated separately in considerable detail to provide a distinct and clear portrait of her special "personality" and meaning within her own cultural context. At the same time, each chapter has a similar structure and style to enhance comparisons among the goddesses. An attempt is made in each case to draw upon both elite and popular sources of information. The Introduction and Conclusion consider important central questions closely connected with goddess scholarship, for example, the possibility of a prepatriarchal culture in which goddess worship was central, the difficulty of recovering female religious experience in goddess traditions that exist in male-dominated cultures, and the extent to which an overarching goddess theology can be implied in the goddess traditions that remain known to us.

William Blake, poet and artist, is a figure often understood to have 'created his own system'. Combining close readings and detailed analysis of a range of Blake's work, from lyrical songs to later myth, from writing to visual art, this collection of thirty-eight lively and authoritative essays examines what Blake had in common with his contemporaries, the writers who influenced him, and those he influenced in turn. Chapters from an international team of leading scholars also attend to his wider contexts: material, formal, cultural, and historical, to enrich our understanding of, and engagement with, Blake's work. Accessibly written, incisive, and informed by original research, William Blake in Context enables readers to appreciate Blake anew, from both within and outside of his own idiom.

This book discusses the depictions of the cult and its personnel in the twelve prophetic books commonly referred to as "The Book of the Twelve" or "The Minor Prophets." The articles in the volume explore the following questions: How did these prophetic writers envision the priests and the Levites? What did they think about the ritual aspects of ancient Israelite faith, including not only the official temple cult in Jerusalem but also cultic expressions outside the capital? What, in their views, characterized a faithful priest and what should the relationship be between his cultic performance and the ways in which he lived his life? How does the message of each individual author fit in with the wider Israelite traditions? Finally, who were these prophetic authors, in which historical contexts did they live and work, and what stylistic tools did they use to communicate their message?

The nature of divine speech in Antiquity in the Mediterranean Basin has often been the object of scholarly analysis, especially regarding its divinatory context and questions of genre and rhetoric. The present volume not only provokes a dialogue with this past research, but seeks to respond to a problem that has received little consideration until now: the articulation of divine speech with the various forms of its representation (linguistic, literary, and material). The aim is to analyze the nature of divine speech through its materiality and the impact of the latter on the former's definition and evolution. La recherche s'est souvent intéressée à la nature du discours divin dans l'Antiquité, par exemple, les contextes divinatoires ou encore les questions de forme et de rhétorique. Si le présent volume n'exclut pas que ces questions soient à nouveau abordées, il vise cependant à répondre plus précisément à une question qui n'a pas encore été traitée, à savoir l'articulation du discours divin avec ses différentes formes de représentations (linguistiques, littéraires et matérielles). Le but est d'étudier ces différentes représentations et de montrer comment elles participent de la définition même et du statut du discours en question.

Terrien has made a contribution which is irreversible. There will be no way to return to the more conventional models for Old Testament theology.... In addition to its formidable governing hypothesis, the book is characterized by a style of elusiveness delightfully matching the argument, a study only the urbaneness of the author could give us: by an erudition evidenced by an exhaustive documentation, and by rich and suggestive exegesis of a large number of texts. This rich gift could only be given by Terrien with his remarkable combination of passion, eloquence and erudition. Walter Brueggeman, Eden Theological Seminary

"This book offers fresh readings of the Aramaic book of Ahiqar, an oft underappreciated ancient wisdom text. In undertaking a comprehensive literary analysis, incorporating both the drama and the sayings together, Bledsoe shows that Ahiqar's didactic impulse is founded on a sense of uncertainty about life, offering advice for those in times of distress, much like the titular character himself. While Ahiqar shares many features with instructional literature like Proverbs, the ambiguous cosmic and social order imagined in the text resonate more strongly with the likes of Qoheleth or Job. Bledsoe also takes seriously the Elephantine context, suggesting that the social and political ethic evinced by the work would have resonated strongly with the Judean community in Achaemenid Egypt"--

The wisdom tradition of ancient Israel, represented in the Hebrew Bible by Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes and in the Apocrypha by Ben Sira and the Wisdom of Solomon, is also well-attested in the texts from Qumran. 4QInstruction (1Q26, 4Q415–418, 4Q423), the largest wisdom text of the Dead Sea Scrolls, is considered a sapiential text primarily because of its explicit and insistent pedagogical nature. To make this significant wisdom text more widely available, this volume offers a critical edition, translation, and commentary on the main fragments of 4QInstruction. It examines particular texts of 4QInstruction as well as broader issues, including its date, genre, main themes, and place in Second Temple Judaism. Finally, in order to contextualize this pivotal work, 4QInstruction’s relationship to the sapiential and apocalyptic traditions is also explored.
