A Marginal Jew V. 1 ( Anchor Bible Reference Library) RETHINKING THE HISTORICAL JESUS A Marginal Jew \ O I II 't I I THE ROOTS Of THE |)K(IKI.KM AM) THE |»ERSON JOHN P. MEIER A MARGINAL JEW The Anchor Bible Reference Library is designed to be a third major component of the Anchor Bible group, which includes the Anchor Bible commentaries on the books of the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Apocrypha, and the Anchor Bible Dictionary. While the An¬ chor Bible commentaries and the Anchor Bible Dictionary are structur¬ ally defined by their subject matter, the Anchor Bible Reference Library will serve as a supplement on the cutting edge of the most recent schol¬ arship. The new series will be open-ended; its scope and reach are noth¬ ing less than the biblical world in its totality, and its methods and tech¬ niques the most up-to-date available or devisable. Separate volumes will deal with one or more of the following topics relating to the Bible: anthropology, archaeology, ecology, economy, geography, history, lan¬ guages and literatures, philosophy, religion(s), theology. As with the Anchor Bible commentaries and the Anchor Bible Dic¬ tionary, the philosophy underlying the Anchor Bible Reference Library finds expression in the following: the approach is scholarly, the perspec¬ tive is balanced and fair-minded, the methods are scientific, and the goal is to inform and enlighten. Contributors are chosen on the basis of their scholarly skills and achievements, and they come from a variety of reli¬ gious backgrounds and communities. The books in the Anchor Bible Reference Library are intended for the broadest possible readership, ranging from world-class scholars, whose qualifications match those of the authors, to general readers, who may not have special training or skill in studying the Bible but are as enthusiastic as any dedicated pro¬ fessional in expanding their knowledge of the Bible and its world.

Loewe, Frank J. Matera, and Carl J. Peter. I have also been blessed by the generous assistance of scholars at other institu¬ tions: Professors Myles M. Bourke of Fordham University, N.Y., Harold W. Attridge and John J. Collins of the University of Notre Dame, John P. Reumann of Lutheran Theological Seminary, and Raymond E. Brown, Professor Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, N.Y. I wish to extend a special word of recognition to Professors Louis H. Feldman of Yeshiva University, N.Y., and Shaye J. D. Cohen of Jewish Theological Seminary, N.Y., for their wise counsel on my treatment of Josephus. No amount of thanks could repay my debt to Professor David Noel Freedman, the editor of the Anchor Bible series, for his invaluable suggestions and corrections along every step of my path. I also wish to thank the staff members of the libraries at the Catholic University of America, the Woodstock Theological Library at George¬ town University, the Berkeley Theological Union, the Dominican House of Studies, Washington, D.C., Union Theological Seminary, N.Y., St. Joseph’s Seminary, Yonkers, N.Y., and Harvard Divinity School. Finally, I owe a word of gratitude to Teresa D’Orsogna, Thomas Cahill, and Michael Iannazzi, my editors at Doubleday, for their pa- X ACKNOWLEDGMENTS tience and understanding, and to Professors Christopher T. Begg and Kathleen Weber for their help in proofreading and indexing. Portions of Chapters 1 and 7 appeared as “The Historical Jesus: Re¬ thinking Some Concepts,” TS 51 (1990) 3-24; portions of Chapter 3 ap¬ peared as “Jesus in Josephus: A Modest Proposal,” CBQ 52 (1990) 76-103. I am grateful to both journals for permission to use the material in this book. A MARGINAL JEW Introduction 1. THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF THIS BOOK This book grapples with one of the greatest puzzles of modern religious scholarship, the historical Jesus. As I will explain at length in Chapter 1, by the “historical Jesus” I mean the Jesus whom we can recover, recap¬ ture, or reconstruct by using the scientific tools of modern historical research. Granted the fragmentary state of our sources and the often indirect nature of the arguments we must use, this “historical Jesus” will always remain a scientific construct, a theoretical abstraction that does not and cannot coincide with the full reality of Jesus of Nazareth as he actually lived and worked in Palestine during the 1st century of our era. Properly understood, such an approach seeks neither to prove any faith stance nor to attack it. My method follows a simple rule: it prescinds from what Christian faith or later Church teaching says about Jesus, without either affirming or denying such claims. To explain to my academic colleagues what I propose to do in this book, I often use the fantasy of the “unpapal conclave.” Suppose that a Catholic, a Protestant, a Jew, and an agnostic—all honest historians cog¬ nizant of lst-century religious movements—were locked up in the bow¬ els of the Harvard Divinity School library, put on a spartan diet, and not allowed to emerge until they had hammered out a consensus docu¬ ment on who Jesus of Nazareth was and what he intended in his own time and place. An essential requirement of this document would be that it be based on purely historical sources and arguments. The result¬ ing unreligious “formula of concord” would suffer from all the ills en¬ demic to ecumenical statements drawn up by committees. At times am¬ biguous language would be carefully chosen to paper over differences, at times points of divergence on which no agreement could be reached 2 INTRODUCTION would have to be openly admitted. Probably this white paper on Jesus would reflect fully the opinions of no one member of the famished con¬ clave. Certainly it would not contain affirmations that the Catholic or Protestant member would firmly hold by faith. The basic requirement that the consensus document be open to verification by any and all per¬ sons using the means of modern historical research would produce a narrow focus, a fragmentary vision, perhaps even distortions. Nevertheless, something would be gained. We would have a rough draft of what that will-o’-the-wisp, “all reasonable people,” could say about the historical Jesus. The document could serve as common ground, a starting point for dialogue between Christians and Jews, be¬ tween various Christian confessions, and between believers and nonbe¬ lievers, as well as an invitation to further research by both historians and theologians. Such a limited consensus statement, which does not claim to act as a substitute for the Christ of faith, is the modest goal of the present work. This book on the Jesus of history has a long history of its own. In 1984 I was asked by Professor Raymond E. Brown of Union Theological Seminary in New York to write an article on the Jesus of history for the new edition of the Jerome Biblical Commentary, which was published in 1990.1 It was perhaps symptomatic of the state of American Catholic biblical studies in the sixties that no extended treatment of the historical Jesus was included in the original edition of the Jerome Biblical Commen¬ tary, published in 1968.2 Hence I had to start from scratch; the ensuing research proved to be much more intriguing and engaging than I had first expected.

  • The Septuagint As Christian Scripture: Its Prehistory and the Problem of Its
    OLD TESTAMENT STUDIES Edited by David J. Reimer OLD TESTAMENT STUDIES The mid-twentieth century was a period of great confidence in the study of the Hebrew Bible: many historical and literary questions appeared to be settled, and a constructive theological programme was well underway. Now, at the turn of the century, the picture is very different. Conflicting positions are taken on historical issues; scholars disagree not only on how to pose the questions, but also on what to admit as evidence. Sharply divergent methods are used in ever more popular literary studies of the Bible. Theological ferment persists, but is the Bible's theological vision coherent, or otherwise? The Old Testament Studies series provides an outlet for thoughtful debate in the fundamental areas of biblical history, theology and literature. Martin Hengel is well known for his seminal work on early Judaism and nascent Christianity. In this volume he turns his attention to the Septuagint—the first bible of the church, yet a product of Greek- speaking Judaism. Hengel probes into the historical and theological puzzles posed by the Septuagint opening a window on the formation of canon and attitudes to scripture in the Christian tradition, and on the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in the early centuries of the era.

  • Sophocles: the Plays and Fragments, Volume 1
    Cambridge Library Co LL e C t i o n Books of enduring scholarly value Classics From the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, Latin and Greek were compulsory subjects in almost all European universities, and most early modern scholars published their research and conducted international correspondence in Latin. Latin had continued in use in Western Europe long after the fall of the Roman empire as the lingua franca of the educated classes and of law, diplomacy, religion and university teaching. The flight of Greek scholars to the West after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 gave impetus to the study of ancient Greek literature and the Greek New Testament. Eventually, just as nineteenth-century reforms of university curricula were beginning to erode this ascendancy, developments in textual criticism and linguistic analysis, and new ways of studying ancient societies, especially archaeology, led to renewed enthusiasm for the Classics. This collection offers works of criticism, interpretation and synthesis by the outstanding scholars of the nineteenth century. Sophocles: The Plays and Fragments Sir Richard Jebb’s seven-volume edition of the works of Sophocles, published between 1883 and 1896, remains a landmark in Greek scholarship. Jebb (1841–1905) was the most distinguished classicist of his generation, a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and University Orator, subsequently Professor of Greek at Glasgow University and finally Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge, and a Member of Parliament for the University. Each volume of the edition contains an introductory essay, a metrical analysis, an indication of the sources used to establish the text, and the ancient summaries (‘arguments’) of the play.

PRÓLOGO Esta Gramática Elemental quiere ofrecer, de manera clara y simple, los rudimentos del Hebreo bíblico. Se dirige principalmente a los estudiantes de Teología; y, en general, a cuantos desean iniciarse prontamente en el conocimiento del Hebreo, «la lengua santa» (como la los Rabinos) que ha llevado en su seno, y ha formado y dado al mundo, al Vetbo eterno.de Dios hecho letra. En la Gramática, propiamente dicha: Los diversos temas se resuelven en unas pocas frases, cortas y sencillas, en las que aparece resaltado lo principal. Cuando la doctrina es más compleja, se distinguen sus varios elementos y se disponen sinópticamente. Resulta así una composición tipo- gráfica despejada que debe facilitar la comprensión y la lectura. Abundan los cuadros sinópticos. La teoría se suele resumir en la página de la izquierda; en la página encarada, a la derecha, se proponen ejercicios de lo recién expuesto y de lo dicho en lecciones anteriores. Se sigue el orden de exposición acostumbrado. Para facilitar la consulta, evitando el constante recurso al índice, se concentra lo relativo a cada cuestión en el lugar en que tal cuestión es resumida.

    Rudimenti di ebraico biblico a cura di fr. Roberto Tadiello Seconda Lezione FONETICA § 2 Le vocali § 2.1 Osservazioni generali: a) Nell'alfabeto ebraico mancano i segni delle vocali. Furono inseriti solo alcuni secoli d.C. Il sistema fu elaborato dalla Scuola di Tiberiade che in seguito fu adottato dalla tradizione rabbinica e tuttora viene utilizzato nelle Bibbie ebraiche. b) Prima della definizione del sistema vocalico in caso di necessità, per evitare equivoci nella lettura, si adoperavano alcune consonanti per indicare le vocali; così si usava la h alla fine della parola per indicare a, e, o; w per le vocali o, u; y per e, i. c) Attenzione! Quando queste consonanti fungono da vocali non si pronunciano perché sono quiescenti; vengono chiamate, con un termine latino, matres lectionis. d) Alle volte anche a si comporta come una mater lectionis. e) Le vocali si distinguono in lunghe e brevi. I pignoli distinguono le medie e le semivocali (di queste ci occuperemo la prossima lezione).
