Deuteronomy and Scribes
This chapter explores the history of research on the functions of scribes in the production of the book of Deuteronomy and provides new observations and suggestions pertaining to a number of aspects of that field of research. In so doing, it discusses new perspectives on the correlation between epigraphic research and biblical exegesis; the theological, social, and political “message” of the scribes; the scribes as an “informational elite”; “deep…
Media and Monotheism
In this study, Joachim Schaper investigates the transformation of the pre-exilic Yahweh religion into the monotheism of the post-exilic period which was triggered by a new constellation of key media: writing, images, and money. He thus reconstructs Judahs religious history in its most important epoch and one of the key developments in the religious history of humanity.
Media and Monotheism
'Symbolising' - i.e., representing through the use of media - is a more elementary, more foundational activity than the self-conscious use of the intellect. Its exploration is central to this investigation of the transformation of the pre-exilic Yahweh religion into the monotheism of the post-exilic period. That transformation was triggered by a new constellation of key media in the pre-exilic and exilic periods: writing, images, and money. The c…
The New Cambridge History of the Bible
Recent years have witnessed significant discoveries of texts and artefacts relevant to the study of the Old and New Testaments and remarkable shifts in scholarly methods of study. The present volume mirrors the increasing specialization of Old Testament studies, including the Hebrew and Greek Bibles, and reflects rich research activity that has unfolded over the last four decades in Pentateuch theory, Septuagint scholarship, Qumran studies and ea…

God And The Gods
This chapter investigates the way in which the Old Greek (OG) of Isaiah introduces pagan deities and religious concepts that are not mentioned in its Hebrew Vorlage and tries to understand them against the background of the religious history of Hellenistic Egypt in second century B.C. It throws light on the relationship between Alexandrian Jews and dominant non-Jewish culture which surrounded them. In so doing, it contributes to the exploration o…
Die Textualisierung der Religion
Die Bedeutung des Schreibens, der Schriftkultur und des Verhältnisses zwischen 'orality' und 'literacy' sind für die Entwicklung von Religionen von grundlegender und gar nicht zu überschätzender Bedeutung. Es ist darum sinnvoll, die Religionsgeschichte aus der Perspektive der Mediengeschichte zu untersuchen. Die Beiträger dieses Bandes demonstrieren dies an den Beispielen der Textualisierung der judäischen JHWH-Religion in der spätvorexilischen, …

The Textualization of Religion
The Pentateuch as Torah
Since antiquity, the five books of Moses have served as a sacred constitution, foundational for both Jews and Samaritans. However long the process of accepting the Pentateuch as authoritative tōrâ (“instruction”) took, this was by all accounts a monumental achievement in the history of these peoples and indeed an important moment in the history of the ancient world. In the long development of Western societies, the Pentateuch has served as a majo…
Priester und Leviten im achämenidischen Juda
Die Perserzeit wird zunehmend als einer der bedeutendsten Abschnitte der israelitisch-jüdischen Geschichte entdeckt. Das geschieht sowohl im Hinblick auf die institutionengeschichtliche Entwicklung in Juda und Jerusalem als auch hinsichtlich neuer theologischer Konzepte und Entwicklungen der Literaturproduktion dieser Gegend. Joachim Schaper liefert einen Beitrag zur Erforschung des perserzeitlichen Juda. Er wendet sich dabei gegen die bisher übl…
Canonization and Decanonization
This volume contains the papers read at the Leiden Conference on Canonization and Decanonization of 9-10 January 1997.

It has two sections: (De)canonization and the History of Religions, and (De)canonization and Modern Society. In the first section pro…
