Exile and Everyday Life focusses on the everyday life experience of refugees fleeing National Socialism in the 1930s and 1940s as well as the representation of this experience in literature and culture. The contributions in this volume show experiences of loss, strategies of adaptation and the creation of a new identity and life. It covers topics such as Exile in Shanghai, Ireland, the US and the UK, food in exile, the writers Gina Kaus, Vicki Baum and Jean Améry, refugees in the medical profession and the creative arts, and the Kindertransport to the UK.

Although there are many studies of second Temple Judaism (in general) and of Christianity's relationship with Judaism (in particular), there has not been a sustained and comprehensive investigation of the way in which Christ-devotion in the first two centuries of the common era represents a manifestation of Jewish monotheism.
This volume fills this gap in four distinctive ways: (1) by re-examining the theological force of "monotheism" during the Second Temple period; (2) by retracing the historical steps of Christianity's adaptation / mutation / re-definition of Jewish monotheism; (3) by exploring and debating the influence of non-Jewish traditions on this process; and (4) by mapping the ways in which Christianity's unique appropriation of Jewish monotheism helps explain the intriguing relationships among emerging Christian, Jewish and Gnostic communities.
In particular, the eighteen essays demonstrate how the creation mythic of narratives, the revelatory power of mystical experiences, and the sociology of community formation capitalized on the Jewish meditoral tradition to encourage and legitimate the Christian praxis of Christ-devotion.

beginning of the modern era was it rediscovered by representatives of the Jewish Enlightenment as an important element for the renewal of Hebrew. Today, Aramaic is an additional source for the expansion and adaptation of modern Hebrew to the needs of the present.

that Sundermann Frag. L (verso, lines 7-12) “contains a conflation and adaptation of the two dreams found in 4Q530 col. ii.” Cf. Stuckenbruck, Book of Giants , 19 n. 83, 20, 22, 73 n. 43, 85, 92, 106-7, 119-20, 137, 148, 165, 200. That still leaves Sām’s ascension unexplained. Does the Manichaean

follows helps to situate the Apocryphon diachronically in order to show where it stands in the history of retelling Gen 12. Vered Tohar offers a fascinating survey of primarily rabbinic (but also Josephus’) adaptations of the Gen 12 sojourn account, giving special attention to apologetic expansions

text production, transmission, and reception (phenomena which can no longer be neatly divided) is welcome. 13 The concentration upon irrefutable examples of ongoing adaptation forces scholars to recognize that the so-called final form of the text with which they work is a relatively modern artifact

In doing so, I will highlight the sim- ilarities and di ff erences between the interpretations which suggest Philo had knowledge of some form of the Watcher tradition and was perhaps attempting to write

Abstract
When one reads through the main Judaic wisdom texts chronologically, one sees the rise of the problem of theodicy and the resultant attempt to solve the problem. All the sages after the authors of Proverbs treat this problem in one way or another, and one can follow a course from the awareness of the problem in Job to its complete solution in the book of Wisdom and in 4QInstruction, where versions of a belief in an existence beyond death finally make their way into the tradition. Even this adaptation, however, did not ensure the survival of the wisdom tradition.

Moreover, a separate list of 40 pages enumerating editions, transla- tions, and adaptations has been added, which includes the items men- tioned already in the 1968 volume.
