Fear, Fear of God, God-Fearers
Die Beiträger dieses Bandes widmen sich der Bedeutung von Angst und Gottesfurcht im antiken Judentum und im frühen Christentum. Sie verbinden philologische, historische und anthropologische Ansätze, um zu zeigen, wie Emotionen, insbesondere Angst, religiöse Praktiken, soziale Dynamiken und Konzepte von Selbst und Gemeinschaft formten. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Untersuchung biblischer Texte, rabbinischer Literatur und frühchristlich…
Legal Thinking and Notions of the Self
This article contributes to discussions about the history of the self in ancient Jewish contexts. Second Temple–period figures such as Philo of Alexandria expressed clear connections between legal thought and reflections on the self, but these connections were not innovations of the Second Temple period. They had roots already in earlier texts going back at least to the Pentateuch. I argue that, for several reasons, contemporary research can bene…
The Heart of Self Formation
This article discusses the “heart” as part of the terminology for selfhood in ancient Jewish literature. After discussing a couple of criticisms of studies of the self and showing how these criticisms fail to persuade, the paper examines a range of texts in the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and beyond for conceptions of the moral self. Special attention is given to the legal S tradition in the Scrolls as a fruitful illustration of how the s…
Subordination and the Human Condition in Ecclesiastes
Facets of Fear
Was verstand man unter Gottesfurcht und wie kamen antike jüdische Schriftgelehrte dazu, die Begriffe Furcht und Gott miteinander in Verbindung zu bringen? Phillip Michael Lasater adressiert diese und andere Fragen mittels philologischer, ideengeschichtlicher und exegetischer Analysen, stellt sich der Forschungsgeschichte zu diesem Thema und eröffnet damit neue Perspektiven.
Facets of Fear
The notion »fear of God(s)« is widespread in and beyond the Hebrew Bible. How was it understood and why did it make sense among ancient Jewish scribes to couple »fear« terminology with »God(s)« terminology? How was this notion applied, and what taxonomical challenges does it involve? Phillip Michael Lasater addresses such questions through philological, concept-historical, and exegetical analyses, responding to the history of research on the topi…
“The Emotions” in Biblical Anthropology? A Genealogy and Case Study with
In the late nineteenth century, the British writer Lewis Carroll published a nonsensical poem called The Hunting of the Snark in which an unlikely alliance hunts a fictional animal, which Carroll named the “snark.” Despite the alliance's intense search for the snark and their questions about how to describe and classify it (apparently, “a Boojum”), they do not find it. I want to suggest that any effort to locate “emotions” in the Hebrew Bible or …
