Brueggemann W: Solomon

Solomon

Israel's Icon of Human Achievement

1.11.2025: Leo XIV. ernennt John H. Newman zum Kirchenlehrer. Diese Anerkennung - mitgetragen von der anglikanischen Kirche - erstaunt, sorgte er doch zu seinen Lebzeiten immer für Unruhe: sowohl in seiner anglikanischen Herkunftskirche als auch in der römisch-katholischen Kirche, zu der er 1845 konvertierte. Umkehr, Wandel und Erneuerung mutet er auch uns heute zu.
Doch sein immenses Werk scheint heute vergessen zu sein, für den deutschsprachigen Raum zu unsystematisch, zu konservativ, zu personenbezogen, einfach nicht einzuordnen. Die vorliegende Textsammlung ist in Bezug auf thematische Breite, biografische Tiefe und literarische Vielgestalt einzigartig. Sie vermittelt einen authentischen Zugang zur ebenso faszinierenden wie komplexen Gestalt Newmans.
Mit dieser Sammlung können heutige Leser*innen dem Zeugen und Lehrer des Evangeliums begegnen und von diesem Kirchenlehrer lernen, den christlichen Glauben in einer synodalen Kirche selbst zu verwirklichen.

Ein Newman Lesebuch - Mit einer aktuellen Einführung von Roman A. Siebenrock

Leben als Ringen um die Wahrheit

Forschungen zum Alten Testament 2. Reihe

Eric McDonnell offers a detailed analysis of the literary functions of the three psalms that open the Masoretic Psalter, employing diachronic, comparative and literary-theoretical methods. Beginning with a discussion of the preface in the sense articulated by Jacques Derrida and Gérard Genette, the author distinguishes primary, introductory and prefatorial functions that texts may assume at the threshold of larger compositions. On this basis, Ps 1 and 2 appear as a two-part prefatorial paratext shaping the literary and theological orientation of the emerging Psalter, while Ps 3 serves a different function by introducing the general form of the individual lament, reflecting an early preexilic stage of the collection.
 

 A comparative examination of the Gilgamesh Epic, the Egyptian Book of the Dead and Sirach shows how ancient textual collections reuse traditional materials to advance new literary and ideological purposes, a process described as iterative play in conversation with Derrida and Hans-Georg Gadamer. The author then reviews three influential accounts of the literary development of the Masoretic Psalter and presents an alternative reconstruction that builds on the preceding analyses. Eric McDonnell thus highlights the close relation between synchronic readings and diachronic analysis and demonstrates how both perspectives contribute to understanding the shape and shaping of the Masoretic Psalter.

The Formation of Psalms 1-3 and the Arrangement of the Hebrew Psalter

Parabiblica

In this study, Ittai Gradel and Nils Arne Pedersen develop a new approach to the apocryphal Testament of Solomon by combining archaeology and textual analysis. The starting point is a group of ten 3rd-century rings, each inscribed in Greek: "Solomon says: 'Watch out!'" The phrase, puzzling as an apotropaic formula, makes sense only in light of the Testament of Solomon, where the king, empowered by a divine ring, subjugates demons. In a climactic episode, Solomon orders two demons to support a massive column until the Day of Judgment - precisely with the words "Watch out!" This unique command, permanently binding the demons, explains its adoption in everyday magical practice.
 

 The rings, securely dated, establish a 2nd-century date for the original version of the text and invite new reflections on its literary shape and development. While the preserved Testament alternates between first-person and third-person narration, the inscriptions suggest that the original form was a longer third-person narrative later abbreviated and reworked. From this basis, the authors develop a theory of its redactional history.
 

 The evidence points toward popular Christianity distinct from the patristic mainstream. Several rings display Christian iconography, one was linked to the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena, and parallels to Jewish Solomonic traditions are also apparent. Alexandria emerges as a plausible place of origin. The interdisciplinary synthesis - archaeology, history of religions, apocryphal studies, and folklore - generates fresh perspectives.
 

 The appendices enrich this contribution with translations of previously inaccessible versions of the Testament of Solomon, including one that contains a newly attested agraphon ascribed to Jesus, as well as a new edition and translation of a Syriac narrative. In this way, the authors significantly reposition the Testament of Solomon within the history of ancient religion and literature.

Theologie im Dazwischen – Grenzüberschreitende Studien

Von einer fraglich gewordenen Kirche und dem Wo und Wie ihrer glaubwürdigen Präsenz. Mit einem Geleitwort von Hans-Joachim Sander

Braucht die Welt die Kirche?

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament

The Gospel of John recounts events of the past with a claim to historical referentiality. This is achieved on the one hand through literary strategies that construct the authenticity of the events narrated, and on the other hand through strategies that counteract this constructed authenticity. Susanne Luther explains how readers are thus led to perceive the story of Jesus as a representation of real historical events and the Incarnation as a profoundly earthly-historical event, while at the same time recognizing Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ, the incarnate Son of God, due to the "breaking" of earthly-historical authentication. The Johannine historiography thus brings to bear a central Christological concern that goes beyond a historiographical-biographical narrative.

Die Authentifizierung der Vergangenheit

Handbuch zum Neuen Testament

Christian Blumenthal analyzes and interprets the Epistle of Jude and the Second Epistle of Peter in their cultural setting and illuminates their relationships to their Jewish and Greco-Roman contemporaries. A major focus of the interpretation is on the analysis of strategic theological ambiguities and vagueness in both letters and their pragmatic potential: The author shows how "Jude" uses the sharply drawn black-and-white contrast to open up an ecclesiological middle ground in which mercy toward theological "border crossers" is demanded. At the same time, he elaborates on how "Peter," despite literary polarization, insinuates gray areas and explores border zones. Both, "Jude" and "Peter", develop an understanding of God and Jesus that combines distinction and unity. They describe Christian existence as a tension between the current state of salvation and its yet-to-come completion defined by freedom from danger.

Der Judasbrief. Der Zweite Petrusbrief

The Psalms constitute one of the most established fields within Old Testament scholarship. Their influence, however, extends far beyond exegesis, reaching into practical theology, liturgy, music, poetry, and visual culture. The question of whether the Psalter also challenges systematic theology at its core has rarely been addressed in depth. This study sets out to explore precisely that issue.
 

 In twenty carefully elaborated steps, Günter Bader develops a theology of the Psalter that integrates historical, practical, and systematic perspectives. Beginning with the traditional title "The Psalter," he situates the work within a wide-ranging history of reception from premodernity through modernity. By tracing the ways in which the Psalms have shaped devotional practice, liturgical forms, and artistic expression, he shows at the same time how they have influenced central theological concepts.
 

 The study culminates in the thesis that theology cannot be conceived adequately without the Psalter. Far from belonging only to the domain of exegesis, the Psalter thus emerges as a constitutive element of theological reflection as such. With its rigorous analysis and innovative framework, the author provides a new foundation for connecting biblical tradition with systematic inquiry. He thereby enriches both exegetical and theological research and opens perspectives that will prove essential for ongoing academic debate.

History of Biblical Exegesis

The Gospel of John ranks among the most influential texts of Western intellectual history. Its theological and cultural impact shaped art, literature and philosophy for centuries¿-¿yet its medieval reception has remained comparatively underexplored. This volume unites contributions from biblical studies, church history, Latin philology, medieval studies, philosophy and art history to close this research gap. After an introductory overview, the chapters analyse major forms of John's reception in Latin and Old High German biblical poetry, in paraphrases and legendary traditions, in mysticism and philosophy. Liturgical and dramatic contexts¿-¿including the figure of John in passion plays¿-¿are also examined. Art-historical contributions address book art, patronage and pilgrimage, revealing the wide-ranging veneration of the Evangelist. Furthermore, the volume contains the first edition of a previously largely unknown Latin commentary on John, providing new insight into medieval exegesis. In this way, the contributors offer an interdisciplinary approach to the medieval history of the Gospel's reception and its central role in Europe's cultural memory.

Das Johannesevangelium in mittelalterlicher Rezeption

Religionswelten. Studien zu Religionswissenschaft, Religionsgeschichte und Ethnologie

Der Band „Kanon und Diskurs“ in der Reihe „Religionswelten“ beleuchtet das spannungsreiche Verhältnis von normativer Setzung und lebendiger Auslegung in den Religionen. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass Kanonbildung kein abgeschlossener Akt ist, sondern ein dynamischer Prozess, in dem sich Autorität, Tradition und Gemeinschaft wechselseitig formen. Von der altkirchlichen Dogmenentwicklung über die Reformation bis hin zu modernen theologischen und ethischen Fragestellungen wird sichtbar, wie religiöse Identität im Diskurs entsteht und sich fortlaufend verändert. Interreligiöse Perspektiven aus Judentum, Islam und Buddhismus erweitern den Blick und machen deutlich: Kanon und Diskurs sind untrennbar verbunden – als Ausdruck einer Geschichte, die bis heute offen bleibt.

Mit Beiträgen von Annette M. Boeckler, Mariano Delgado, Irene Dingel, Johann Figl, Ömer Özsoy, Michael Quisinsky, Johanna Rahner, Jan Juhani Steinmann, Klaus von Stosch und Klaus Vellguth.

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe

The articles of this volume aim to contribute to a better understanding of the language of the Septuagint and biblical Greek in general. A large amount of the specific linguistic features of the Septuagint can be explained against the background of the vocabulary and stylistic phenomena of Greek literature and contemporary papyri. Moreover, numerous linguistic features of the Septuagint also occur in the New Testament, in the Apostolic Fathers and in the literature of ancient Christianity. The contributors to the volume consider both the Semitic legacy of these literary collections and their Greek background in the widest sense, including inscriptions and spoken Greek as reflected in papyri. The articles address three major topics: the vocabulary of the Septuagint and the New Testament and its linguistic background; papyri, neologisms and hapaxlegomena; and problems related to the interpretation of difficult passages in biblical and non-biblical Jewish literature. The contributors take into account recent developments in the research landscape, including studies of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the growing attention to the Septuagint as a version of the Bible to be studied in its own right.

Daniel | Arbeitsheft (Die Bibel erklärt)

Uwe Becker offers a comprehensive redaction-critical analysis of key texts in Jeremiah 1-36 in order to draw a completely new overall picture of the development of the Book of Jeremiah. At the beginning of the development was the proclamation of the "historical Jeremiah", who sees an as yet undetermined disaster approaching "from the north" (Jer 4-6) and expresses a restrained, regretful criticism of the last kings of Judah (Jer 21-22). In the course of the book's genesis, the literary prophet, the "prophetic persona", identifies more and more with his task: he is called by God himself to proclaim the word (Jer 1), becomes part of the proclamation with his own body in the sign acts (Jer 13; 18; 19; 32), until he finally suffers from the prophetic task and is persecuted (Jer 36). Although the development outlined here began with the historical Jeremiah, it is to a far greater extent than previously thought the result of complex updating processes. At the same time, they reflect striking changes in the image of the prophet, as can be seen in the genesis of Jer 27-29, a multi-layered discourse text on "true" and "false" prophecy. The historical Jeremiah, who in his presumably authentic words still represents the state religion of Judah, becomes in the course of the book's development the preacher of the inevitable judgment of God and an insistent admonisher of Torah obedience, before he (again) becomes the herald and representative of new salvation at the end (Jer 30f.). With his analyses, Uwe Becker combines a new thesis on the emergence of the prophecy of doom in Judah: it is not to be placed as early as the 8th century, but begins with Jeremiah as the prophet of transition in the late state epoch of Judah.
