Das Edikt des Artaxerxes

Sebastian Grätz
About this book
The letter from a King Artaxerxes to Ezra recounted in Ezra 7 is interpreted against the background of royal Hellenistic foundations and gifts. The euergetism rooted in the Hellenistic kingly ideology cannot be shown for the Persian royal ideology. Thus, Ezra 7 probably belongs into (early) Hellenistic times. This has consequences firstly for the understanding of the letter as an historical document, but then also for those historical models which seek to explain the genesis of the Torah principally from Ezra 7.

Reviews
"Grätz's analysis is quite compehensive and well presented. His argumentation is sound and its structural organization [...] is very successful. [...] the most comprehensive and serious challenge to date to a premise about the extent of Persian involvement in the Levant."
Armin Siedlecki in: Journal of Biblical Literature 3/2005
"Mit seiner Arbeit hat der Verf. nicht nur eine fundierte und durch mannigfache Quellenanalysen gestützte Bestreitung der These von der Reichsautorisation vorgelegt, sondern auch einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Verständnis des Judentums in frühhellenistischer Zeit geliefert."
Uwe Becker in: Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 1/2006
