Jews, Bible and Prayer

Essays on Jewish Biblical Exegesis and Liturgical Notions
  • Stefan C. Reif
Language: English
Published/Copyright: 2017

About this book

In his articles Stefan Reif deas with Jewish biblical exegesis and the close analysis of the evolution of Jewish prayer texts. Some fourteen of these that appeared in various collective volumes are here made more easily available, together with a major new study of Numbers 13, an introduction and extensive indexes. Reif attempts to establish whether there is any linguistic, literary and exegetical value in the traditional Jewish interpretation of the Hebrew Bible for the modern scientific approach to such texts and whether such an approach itself is always free of theological bias. He demonstrates how Jewish liturgical texts may illuminate religious teachings about wisdom, history, peace, forgiveness, and divine metaphors. Also clarified in these essays are notions of David, Greek and Hebrew, divine metaphors, and the liturgical use of the Hebrew Bible.

Reviews

"Die Einzelstudien erschließen eine Fülle von Aspekten auf wissenschaftlich höchstem Niveau, wobei die klare historische und geistesgeschichtliche Methodik den Betrachtungen ein festes Fundament gibt. Auch wenn manche Details dem Nichtspezialisten vielleicht schwerer zugänglich sind, sind die Darstellungen doch so gut gegliedert und klar geschrieben, dass sie vorzügliche Einblicke in die behandelten Gegenstände und die darauf bezogenen Forschungen bieten."
Reinhard Müller in: Jahrbuch für Liturgik und Hymnologie 57 (2018), 118-119

"Abgesehen von ihrem Charakter als wichtige Beiträge zu einer jeweils spezifischen Fachfrage haben die Aufsätze in ihrer Gesamtheit das Potenzial, die moderne christliche alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ein gutes Stück über sich selbst und ihre expliziten wie impliziten Prämissen und Voreingenommenheiten aufzuklären." Hannes Bezzel in: Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (2019) Volume 131, Issue 3, 522-523
