Paradigmatische Erkundungen zu Non-Linearität, Varianz und Verdichtung in Num 25
Author:
Welche Charakteristika bestimmen die Textentstehung und Textüberlieferung der Literatur des Pentateuch? Schäfers argumentiert, dass in der Textgeschichte wie in der Literargeschichte qualitativ vergleichbare Phänomene zu beobachten sind: non-lineare Prozesse, eine variante Textualität sowie eine zunehmende Verdichtung von literarischer Bezügen und Sinndimensionen in der Traditionsgenese. Die exemplarische Untersuchung der Textüberlieferung des Numeribuches in MT, SP; LXX und 4QNumb arbeitet die paradigmatische Dimension dieser Neuperspektivierung heraus. Die detaillierte Untersuchung des notorisch schwierigen Kapitels Numeri 25 und seiner Forschungsgeschichte vertieft die methodischen Implikationen der Hypothese aus textkritischer, synchron-kompositioneller und literarkritischer Sicht. Which characteristics determine the production and transmission of texts in the literature of the Pentateuch? In this book, Schäfers argues that qualitatively comparable phenomena can be observed in both textual history and literary history: non-linear processes, a variant textuality, and an increasing condensation of literary references and dimensions of meaning in the genesis of tradition. The exemplary study of the textual transmission of the Book of Numbers in MT, SP; LXX and 4QNumb works out the paradigmatic dimension of this new approach. The detailed examination of the notoriously difficult chapter Numbers 25 and its research history deepens the methodological implications of the hypothesis from a text-critical, synchronic-compositional and literary-critical perspective.

Three Introductions to Psalms on Poetry, Translation, and Music by Joel Bril (Berlin 1791). A Bilingual Edition, translated with Commentary and an Introduction
Author:
This annotated bilingual edition presents to readers for the first time a key Hebrew book of Jewish Enlightenment. Printed in Berlin in 1791, Joel Bril’s Hebrew introductions to Psalms constitute the earliest interpretation of Moses Mendelssohn’s language philosophy, translation theory, and aesthetics. In these introductions, Mendelssohn emerges as a critic of Maimonides who located eternal felicity not in union with the Active Intellect but in the aesthetic experience of the divine through sacred poetry. Bril’s theoretical insights, the broad range of his myriad textual sources, and his linguistic innovations make the Book of the Songs of Israel a touchstone of modern Hebrew literary theory and Jewish thought.

The Sixteenth Orion Symposium celebrated seventy years of Dead Sea Scrolls research under the theme, “Clear a path in the wilderness!” (Isaiah 40:3). Papers use the wilderness rubric to address the self-identification of the Qumran group; dimensions of religious experience reflected in the Dead Sea writings; biblical interpretation as shaper and conveyor of that experience; the significance of the Qumran texts for critical biblical scholarship; points of contact with the early Jesus movement; and new developments in understanding the archaeology of the Qumran caves. The volume both honors past insights and charts new paths for the future of Qumran studies.

Abstract
The charge of schism has been one in the history of Western Christianity that carries with it deep emotive tones of horror. Through the examination of a tract making this charge about eighteenth-century English Dissent by the evangelical Anglican clergyman Thomas Robinson and of its rebuttal by the Particular Baptist theologian Andrew Fuller, this essay explores such perennial questions as: what is the nature of a true church and what is its relationship to the state? There is a poignancy to this particular debate between Robinson and Fuller as both men were evangelicals and each had a profound respect for the other.

Abstract
Christopher Watkin’s book Biblical Critical Theory offers a new technique for assessing issues and conflicts arising in both academic and wider cultural contexts. He offers diagonalization as a way of identifying alternatives to the harmful polarities (dichotomies) in which issues are presented. I argue that diagonalization fails as a technique as it is not presented in a way that others can readily adopt, it fails to explain why or how the diagonalizations resolve dichotomies, and treats complex issues as if they can be rendered into dichotomies and then resolved in a simplistic manner.
