Cultural Memory in Biblical Exegesis

Edited by Pernille Carstens, Trine Bjørnung Hasselbalch & Niels Peter Lemche

Series: Perspectives on Hebrew Scriptures and its Contexts 17

ISBN: 978-1-61719-165-7

Cultural memory is the shared reproduction and recollection of what has been learned and retained, normally treated as “the cultural heritage”. The purpose of this book, the first product of the research program Cultural Memory in Biblical Exegesis, is to study how memory is inscribed and embodied in biblical culture and its surrounding area. The essays in this volume seek to open new investigations into cultural memory in biblical and cognate studies, and to include a plethora of methods and perspectives such as the relationship between cultural memory approach and post-colonialism, globalism and epistemology.

The Reception and Remembrance of Abraham

Edited by Pernille Carstens & Niels Peter Lemche; Contribution by Beate Ego

Series: Perspectives on Hebrew Scriptures and its Contexts 13

ISBN: 978-1-4632-0054-1

This book explores the role of the biblical patriarch Abraham in the formation and use of authoritative texts in the Persian and Hellenistic periods. It reflects a conference session in 2009 focusing on Abraham as a figure of cultural memory in the literature of these periods. Cultural memory is the shared reproduction and recalling of what has been learned and retained. It also involves transformation and innovation. As a figure of memory, stories of Abraham served as guidelines for identity-formation and authoritative illustration of behaviour for the emerging Jewish communities.

Rhetoric, Ideology, Stylistics, and Language Relating to Persian Israel

Edited by Ehud Ben Zvi, Diana V. Edelman & Frank Polak

Series: Perspectives on Hebrew Scriptures and its Contexts 5

ISBN: 978-1-60724-584-1

A volume of collected essays that explores what we can learn about the producers and readers of biblical books by looking into matters of language, rhetoric, style, and ideology. What do they teach us about these literati’s world of knowledge and imagination, about the issues they had in mind and the ways they came to deal with them through authoritative literature? The book includes essays on such issues as whether linguistic theories can solve literary-critical problems, on what is “late biblical Hebrew,” on parallelism and noun groups in biblical poetry, and the communicative meaning of some linguistic choices.
