Jewish Studies

How did Christian communities across time and space engage with religious others? Informed by current debates on global history, the studies in this volume cover Eastern and Western Christian traditions stretching from the second to the twentieth century and portray Christianity as a fluid, relational, and globally entangled religion.

In the present volume, the manifold practice of biblical exegesis is taken up methodically and transferred into an integrative overall model of textual interpretation. Students receive the fundamental “tools” for a scholarly, reflective treatment of New Testament texts and their receptions.

This volume contains three sources and studies drawn from the late medieval records of the Benedictine convent of Lüne near Lüneburg - the edition of the statute book with the rites of admission to the monastic community, the diary of the prioress Mechthild Wilde about her own election, and a study on the networks of the Lüne provosts, especially with regard to their acquisition of benefices.

In the Bible, God appears visibly and audibly to particular people. This volume, a contribution to the Corpus Judaeo-Hellenisticum, considers textual witnesses to epiphanies in the Septuagint and the New Testament, asking: How are these experiences presented? And what patterns of influence can be traced?
