Description
Summary:Most of the essays in this collection were delivered as lectures in Tübingen in the 1990s and were translated in 2004, thereby making the volume widely accessible to the English-speaking world. The essays are generally fine examples of German biblical scholarship, each with copious footnotes. The volume is technical, requiring detailed knowledge of the field, and of interest to the specialist., A noteworthy contribution is by Martin Hengel, who examines pre-Christian interpretations of Isaiah 53. He examines a variety of Greek and Hebrew sources and disagrees with the assumption, common among scholars today, that the passage was uninfluential in pre-Christian Jewish interpretation.
