The Scrolls of the Torah
Der vorliegende Band versammelt vierundzwanzig Beiträge führender Forscherinnen und Forscher, die sich mit grundlegenden Fragen zur Komposition des Pentateuch im ersten Jahrtausend v. Chr. in seinen unterschiedlichen kulturellen Kontexten befassen, darunter der südlichen Levante, Mesopotamien und möglicherweise Ägypten.

Pentateuch and Pedagogy
This piece is an introduction to the collection of papers presented at the Society of Biblical Literature 2024 “Pentateuch and Pedagogy” session. The session was co‐chaired by the Pentateuch and the Historiography and the Hebrew Bible program units. We explain the rationale behind the session, its organization and aims, and the three key issues we wished to highlight among the respondents. We conclude by drawing attention to a few themes that eme…
The Jewish Pig Prohibition from Leviticus to the Maccabees
Pig avoidance is among the most famous and well studied of the customs described in the Hebrew Bible. Commonly the ban on consuming pork has been considered evidence of the importance of dietary prohibitions in establishing boundaries between Israel and neighboring groups. I argue, however, that differentiation from other ethnicities by means of diet was not the only function that the pig prohibition served in ancient Israel. In fact, the relevan…
Collective Violence and Memory in the Ancient Mediterranean
This book reveals how violent pasts were constructed by ancient Mediterranean societies, the ideologies they served, and the socio-political processes and institutions they facilitated. Combining case studies from Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, Israel/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as “victors” and “vanquished” to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts…
Authorship and the Hebrew Bible
Does »authorship« still have a place in the study of the Hebrew Bible? Historical criticism has long sought to uncover the human authors behind the biblical texts. But how might the »death of the author,« so forcefully declared by Roland Barthes over fifty years ago, change the contours of this search? This volume brings together leading experts in the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, cuneiform texts and cognate literature to reimagine the lit…
The Tent of Meeting as Monumental Space
This article explores how the priestly wilderness shrine functions as a monumental space in the sanctuary construction account of Exod 25-31, 35-40. It draws on spatial theory and studies of monumental architecture to identify five features of the tent of meeting that infuse it with monumentality: first, its significance in negotiating the patron-client relationship between Yhwh and Israel; second, the collective energy and material resources req…
Festivals and Violence in 1 and 2 Maccabees
This article analyzes the nexus between collective violence, temple violation, and military glory in 1 and 2 Maccabees by comparing two festivals established in the context of revolt and guerilla warfare; namely, Hanukkah and Nicanor's Day. It argues that the accounts of the origins of these two festivals in 1 and 2 Maccabees reinforce the close connection between the violation of the temple cult and violence against the community in the memories…
Transforming Memories of Collective Violence. Key Methods and Future Directions
Centralizing the Cult
In this work, Julia Rhyder examines the Holiness legislation in Leviticus 17-26 and cultic centralization in the Persian period. Rather than presuming centralization as an established norm, Leviticus 17-26 forge a distinctive understanding of centralization around a central sanctuary, standardized ritual processes, and a hegemonic priesthood.
