The Social Meanings of Sacrifice in the Hebrew Bible

David Janzen
This work uses anthropological theory and field studies to investigate the social function and meaning of sacrifice. All rituals, including sacrifice, communicate social beliefs and morality, but these cannot be deter-mined outside of a study of the social context. The book then examines four different writings in the Hebrew Bible – the Priestly Writing, the Deuteronomistic History, Ezra-Nehemiah, and Chronicles – to demonstrate how different social origins result in different social meanings of sacrifice.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit den Markioniten im Adamantios-Dialog

Kenji Tsutsui
The focus of this volume is a detailed commentary on the Dialogue of Adamantius, Books I and II, an important anti-Marcionite text from the 4th century. Since the GCS edition (Bakhuyzen, 1901) is long known to be deficient, this study is based on a new critical reading of the manuscript (codex Venetus gr. 496). The extensive introduction is devoted to the entire work, including, among others, text, source and historical background.

Der Tod Jesu im Johannesevangelium

Hans-Ulrich Weidemann
In the Gospel of John, Jesus' death is taken as a theme in discoursive and narrative texts. Starting with John 14,29 the study works from the premise that the first farewell speech (John 13,31-14,31) with its eschatology and pneu-matology, but also with its announcement of Jesus' confrontation with the Devil, is the key text and commentary for the Passion and Easter story (John 18-20).
