    Michael Tuval liefert eine diachrone Untersuchung der Religion von Flavius Josephus. Weil die Diasporajuden nicht regelmäßig am religiösen Leben im Jerusalemer Tempel teilnehmen konnten, behauptet der Autor, dass sie andere Muster für die Ausübung der jüdischen Religiosität entwickelten. Er sieht Josephus als einen Juden, der seine Karriere als judäischer Priester begann, aber dann nach Rom zog und langsam zu einem Intellektuellen der Diaspora wurde. Josephus' erstes Werk, Geschichte des judäischen Krieges, zeigt das Judentum aus der Perspektive eines judäischen Priester, mit dem Tempel und dem Kult im Zentrum. Nachdem beide verloren gegangen sind, schwand die religiöse Hoffnung. Tuval analysiert auch Jüdische Altertümer, welches fünfzehn Jahre später geschrieben wurde. Das religiöse Bild hatte sich drastisch verändert: Der Tempel wurde durch das Gesetz an den Rand gedrängt oder ersetzt. In this study, Michael Tuval examines the religion of Flavius Josephus diachronically. The author suggests that because Diaspora Jews could not participate regularly in the cultic life of the Jerusalem Temple, they developed other paradigms of Judaic religiosity. He interprets Josephus as a Jew who began his career as a Judean priest but moved to Rome and gradually became a Diaspora intellectual. Josephus' first work, Judean War, reflects a Judean priestly view of Judaism, with the Temple and cult at the center. After these disappeared, there was not much hope left in the religious realm. Tuval also analyzes Antiquities of the Jews, which was written fifteen years later. Here the religious picture has been transformed drastically. The Temple has been marginalized or replaced by the law which is universal and perfect for all humanity. The book is optimistic about the future of Judaism, and does not hint that the absence of the Temple hinders human-divine communication. Paradoxically, in later years Josephus continued to emphasize his priestly identity. The explanation offered for this anomaly is a complex one. The author also argues that Josephus continued to see the priests as the natural leaders of post-destruction Judaism.

    Es gibt viele Stellen in den hebräischen Texten des biblischen Buches der Klagelieder, die für den modernen Leser nicht leicht zu verstehen sind. Die Forschung ist sich über die Auslegung solcher Passagen uneinig. Gideon R. Kotzé verfolgt einen textkritischen Ansatz für die Interpretation solcher Lesarten und schlägt vor, dass einige von ihnen als Ausdruck von Bildern und Ideen zu verstehen sind, die im kulturellen und intellektuellen Umfeld des Buches der Klagelieder weit verbreitet waren. The Hebrew versions of the five poems in the book of Lamentations are riddled with debated readings. Debated readings are words, phrases, or sentences whose forms and meanings modern readers find difficult or objectionable. In this book, Gideon R. Kotzé adopts a text-critical approach to the interpretation of such readings and suggests that some of them make sense as expressions of images and ideas that circulated widely in the cultural and intellectual environment of Lamentations. After surveying examples of passages in Lamentations where the Hebrew wordings show remarkable resemblances to the images and ideas exhibited by cultural products from all over the ancient Near East, the author discusses five case studies of debated readings that can be explained along similar lines. On this interpretation, the readings in question are not corrupt and do not have to be emended for that reason.

    The purpose of this article is to supplement scholarly positions that define asceticism either as a matter of world renouncement and elitist self-exclusion from the world or as always oriented toward transcendent goals or practices of improvement because these positions run the risk of overlooking moderate kinds of asceticism. Israelite, early Jewish, and early Rabbinic Jewish religion are replete with examples of moderate asceticism where both men and women are encouraged to engage in abstinence and self-training in order - not to improve, but - to preserve a religious tradition. With Steven D. Fraade's definition of asceticism as a departing point, the article examines abstinence and self-training in the Hebrew Bible, early Jewish and early Rabbinic literature. The author discerns three types of moderate asceticism: that of the priest, the layperson, and the hero/-ine. These three types complement each other in a shared effort to preserve divine blessings in this world and thereby the preservation of Israelite-Jewish tradition.

    The Animal Apocalypse (1 En. 85–90) provides some of the most vivid imagery in Second Temple literature. In reference to the descent of the Watchers allegorized as stars, the narrative invokes the simile “they let out their phalluses like stallions” three times. Beyond the simile’s allusion to the oracle in Ezek 23:20, the stallion phallus remains largely unexplored. Our investigation demonstrates the associations of stallions with “aggressive virility” and foreignness based on the Hebrew Bible and contemporary Hellenistic and early Jewish literature. Moreover, we show the Animal Apocalypse’s innovative emphasis on the violent nature of the sexual acts, a feature absent in Gen 6 and the Book of Watchers, and argue for the episode’s contextualization with other early Jewish texts in which sexual violence is present. By spotlighting the stallion-phallused stars with their foreign genitalia, the Animal Apocalypse highlights anxieties surrounding communal boundary crossing and its violent repercussions.
