  • Standards of (In)coherence in Ancient Jewish Literature

    David Andrew Teeter, William A ToomanARTICLEHebrew Bible and Ancient Israel2020

    In this article, we sketch an anatomy of issues and decisions that must be navigated in any attempt to understand coherence and incoherence in ancient Jewish literature, including: the meaning of »coherence,« its relationship to »unity,« the suitability of modern standards of (in)coherence to ancient texts, and the availability of ancient standards of (in)coherence. We argue that modern perspectival representation and modern standards of literary…

    »Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes.

  • Ezekiel

    Paul Joyce, William A Tooman et al.BOOKEzekiel2017

    The twenty-seven essays collected in this volume were first presented at two symposia on the theme Ezekiel in International Perspective. The meetings allowed moments of introspection, providing the freedom and opportunity to reflect on questions of appropriate evidence, suitable methodology, and argumentative plausibility by juxtaposing papers from diverse perspectives. The resulting collection is a portrait of the discipline in the present and a…

  • Ezekiel

    William A Tooman, Penelope BarterBOOKEzekiel2017

    Ezekiel studies are flourishing. The 27 essays collected in this volume were first presented in a series of special sessions under the title "Ezekiel in International Perspective" at the Society of Biblical Literature conferences in St Andrews and Vienna. The principal aim was to widen contact, cultivate understanding, and foster collaboration between international colleagues who, though working on the same ancient text, possess diverse points of…

  • Sinners and Sinfulness in Luke

    Sławomir Szkredka, Penelope Barter et al.BOOKSinners and Sinfulness in Luke2017

    In staging his story of Jesus, Luke dedicates considerable space to the characters known as sinners. Scholars have noted this peculiarly Lukan emphasis. Still, scholarly attention has tended to limit itself to the so-called sinner texts, that is, the pericopae containing the word »sinner« or its cognates.

  • Gog of Magog

    William A ToomanBOOKGog of Magog2011

    The Gog Oracles' (Ezek 38-39) reuse of antecedent scripture is crucial to their purpose and meaning. The pattern of continuous allusion in the Gog Oracles reflects something more than a writer saturated with scriptural idiom. It is a practice of disciplined and deliberate reference to select texts on select themes. William A. Tooman shows that recognizing the volume and density of scriptural reuse within the Gog Oracles is indispensable for under…
