Larsson, Tord

Since the beginning of modern New Testament exegesis, the Judaism-Hellenism dichotomy has been influential as a heuristic tool. However, the concept of Hellenism is ambiguous and its historiographical foundation needs rethinking, having been formed out of Hegelian idealism with a Christian bias. Current histiography urges reconsideration of Hellenism, Hellenisation and Hellenistic Judaism. Contents include: Syntax, Vocabulary, and Style. Semitic linguistic influence in 2Peter and Jude. Literary form. The use of sacred texts as an ideological marker. Cosmology and eschatology as ideological markers. Ethos, soteriology, and anthropology as ideological markers.

<p>"This book discusses the existence and nature of a peculiar variety of the Greek language which was used by Jewish and Christian writers between c. 200 BC and c. 200 AD in relation to the institution known as the synagogue. It is argued that this variety arose from the Greek translation of the Pentateuch." "A number of frequent linguistic phenomena - participles, conjunctions, particles - in the Pentateuch are investigated and compared to those in a corpus of other texts. The conclusion is that a group of texts that belong to the context of the synagogue were quite similar to the Pentateuch and to each other, but differed significantly from the texts having no reference to the synagogue. Both the Hebrew original and the translation technique of the Pentateuch influenced this contrast." "The investigation assumes that Greek texts produced in the context of the synagogue, as well as other Greek texts of the period, reflected a common sociolinguistic situation of writing in distinctive ways according to the genre or occasion at hand. This is explored with the concept of diglossia. The peculiar variety of Greek found in the Pentateuch emerges as yet another variety used for a particular genre, intended for a certain audience, and dealing with the same subject. This special variety of Greek recurs mainly in texts from the Septuagint, pseudepigrapha and the New Testament."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

<p>In the first century CE, synagogues existed not only in the land of Israel but in all parts of the Roman Empire where Jews lived. Although incorporating a number of activities, the most characteristic features of this institution were the public reading and teaching of torah, making the synagogue an unparalleled institution in the ancient world. But how, when, where and why did this unique institution originate? Which historical, social, or political factors determined its rise and development? Taking into account literary, epigraphic and archaeological material, and adopting a socio-political perspective towards the sources, the present study constitutes a new approach to the old enigma.</p>
