Patristic and rabbinic biblical interpretations are significant contributions to the identity construction of late antique Christian and Jewish groups. The contributions in this conference volume illuminate the reception of biblical texts, themes and figures in patristic and rabbinic writings from the 2nd to the 8th century. They reveal processes of mutual demarcation, which are sometimes extremely polemical, sometimes only implicit and indirectly accessible. The correct interpretation of Scripture is claimed for ones own "we", while at the same time distinguishing it from the "others". Nevertheless, similarities and mutual positive references are clearly recognizable. Especially the often so polemical Christian interpretation is from the beginning rooted in the Jewish tradition and based on it. But also the rabbinic interpretation shows traces of the controversy with Christianity.

Die Totung von Menschen wird in vielen biblischen Texten thematisiert. Locus classicus ist das Totungsverbot im Dekalog (Ex 20,13; Dtn 5,17).Im Kontext von Krieg oder als Strafe fur schwerwiegende Verbrechen erschien die Totung eines Menschen fur die Verfasser der biblischen Texte wohl kaum problematisch. Gott selbst wird als jemand beschrieben, der das Toten von Personen anordnet und Menschen toten fur ihn. Manchmal ist es sogar Gott selbst, der totet.Andere biblische Aussagen und Traditionen sperren sich gegenuber dieser Sicht: Wurde der Mensch nicht nach dem Bild Gottes geschaffen (Gen 1,26-27; 9,6)? Die Gottahnlichkeit des Menschen impliziert das Verbot, einen Menschen zu toten. In diesem Kontext steht bekanntlich auch das 5. Gebot des Dekalog: Du sollst nicht toten!Die zentrale Frage des vorliegenden Bandes ist, ob und wie biblische und nicht-biblische Totungsverbote als Norm in der Antike funktionieren. Beitrage aus den Bereichen des altorientalischen und antiken Rechts, der Bibelwissenschaft, der alten Geschichte, des antiken Judentums und der fruhen Kirchengeschichte geben Einblicke in diese bis heute aktuelle Thematik. Fachkundige Experten behandeln das Totungsverbot, indem sie die zentralen Frage- und Problemstellungen, die sich in altorientalischer, patristischer und mittelalterlicher Zeit unterschiedlich darstellen, kritisch beleuchten und diskutieren.

Las circunstancias históricas de la carta a los Hebreos siguen siendo oscuras. ¿Estamos después de la guerra judía del 70 y con el Templo ya destruido? Sea como fuere, es sobre el fondo de graves cambios como un autor anonimo decidio escribir una carta de consuelo en la que profundizo en el misterio de Cristo. Es en funcion de la radical novedad del acontecimiento Cristo como repiensa el antiguo sistema del sacerdocio y los sacrificios. Esta es una lectura paso a paso de la carta. Para entrar en un movimiento que, lejos de la nostalgia de esplendores pasados, nos impulsa hacia adelante: ¡Resistid!.

El papa Francisco, teniendo en cuenta los retos pastorales de nuestros días, pidió a la Pontificia Comisión Bíblica que estudiara la concepción del hombre en la Sagrada Escritura, para ofrecer a los cristianos y al mundo entero un mensaje de luz y de esperanza, fruto de una exegesis actualizada de la Palabra revelada. Siguiendo el mandato del Papa, la Comision Biblica no se limita en este documento a dar respuesta a ciertas cuestiones antropologicas especificas, sino que ofrece una vision integral de la persona humana, de su dignidad, de sus relaciones y de su destino, de modo que en ese marco global los desafios de nuestra cultura puedan encontrar su lugar adecuado.

Se empezó con el deseo de mostrar que el libro de Jonás fue mucho más que la historia de un gran pez. Mucho más grande y glorioso que el pez es el Dios que lo prepara, el Dios que guía a todos, desde unos marineros paganos a una enorme ciudad pagana, a la salvacion por gracia.Y si es por gracia, toda jactancia se queda excluida. Enseñamos a nuestras congregaciones de acuerdo con Hechos 10:34-35 que "Dios no hace acepcion de personas, sino que en toda nacion se agrada del que le teme y hace justicia." Asi debemos hacer. Pero sin querer, a la vez nuestros pensamientos, conversaciones, sermones, acciones y aun nuestra obra misionera pueden revelar una actitud firme de que algunos "merecen" la gracia de Dios mas que otros. Esta exposicion del libro de Jonas intenta a descubrir algunos de estos prejuicios para derrumbarlos.

The present volume aims at a clarification and a discussion of the church in the 16th century: What did the reformers think about the essence and origin of the holy, apostolic and Catholic church? What was seen as the aim of it, its task and mission? Can human beings see the true church or not? Does it have one existence in this world and another in the world to come? Furthermore, the concept of church is indissolubly connected to the theological concepts of sin, faith, justification, sanctification, and salvation, and the study of the church also involves reflection upon the nature and scope of the sacraments, the role of the clergy, the aim of church-buildings, the significance of church properties and upon the constituent parts of the mass/church service. Finally, and not least, it is important to investigate the role of the church in the societies of the 16th century, such as the impact of the ruling powers upon them, their significance for education and social cohesion, and the cultural significance of migrating believers, on the run within and beyond the borders of Europe. Together with theological, philosophical and art-historical questions, these issues are considered in order to create a much fuller picture of the church at the time of the Reformation.

At the twilight of the Weimar Republic, politicians, scientists, and theologians were engaged in debates surrounding the so-called "Jewish Question." When the Nazi Party came to power in 1933, these discussions took on a new sense of urgency and poignancy. As state measures against Jews unfolded, theological conceptions of the meaning of "Israel" and "Judaism" began to impact living, breathing Jewish persons.In this study, Ryan Tafilowski traces the thought of the Lutheran theologian Paul Althaus (18881966), who once greeted the rise of Hitler as a "gift and miracle of God," as he negotiated the "Jewish Question" and its meaning for his understanding of Germanness across the Weimar Republic, the Nazi years, and the post-war period. In particular, the study uncovers the paradoxical categories Althaus used to interpret the ongoing theological significance of the Jewish people, whom he considered both an imminent threat to German ethnic identity and yet a mysterious cipher by which Germans might decode their own spiritual destiny in world history.Sketching the peculiar contours of Althaus theology of Israel, this study offers a fresh interpretation of the Erlangen Opinion on the Aryan Paragraph, which is an important artifact not only of the Kirchenkampf, but also of the complex and ambivalent history of Christian antisemitism. By bringing Althaus into conversation with some of the most influential theologians of the twentieth centuryfrom Karl Barth and Emil Brunner to Rudolf Bultmann and Dietrich BonhoefferTafilowski broadens the scope of his inquiry to vital questions of political theology, ethnic identity, social ethics, and ecclesiology. As Christian theologians must once again reckon with questions of national self-understanding under the pressures of mass migration and resurgent nationalisms, this investigation into the logic of ethno-nationalist theologies is a timely contribution.
