Her iki ilim dalını ilgilendiren mühim eseri et-Târîhu’l-kebîr’in günü- müze ancak küçük bir kısmı ulaşabilmiştir. İbn Ebî Hayseme râvilerin kimlikleri, vefat tarihleri, kardeşleri, hocaları ve talebeleri gibi konulardaki zengin birikimini eserinde yansıtmış ve sonraki ricâl literatüründe ona sıkça atıf yapılmıştır. Babası Ebû Hayseme, Yahya b. Maîn ve Ahmed b. Hanbel gibi önde gelen hadis münekkitlerinin yanında ye- tişen İbn Ebî Hayseme, adı geçenler başta olmak üzere kendinden önceki münekkitle- rin cerh-ta‘dîle dair görüşlerinin intikalinde mühim rol oynamıştır. Hocalarının ders- lerini dikkatle takip ederek çok sayıda râviyi ve hadisi onların gündemine getiren İbn Ebî Hayseme, müstakil olarak çok az râvinin cerh ve ta‘dîli hakkında görüş belirtmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Hadis Tenkidi, İsnad, Yahya b. Maîn, et-Târîhu’l-kebîr, Ma‘rife- tü’l-ihve ve’l-ahavât The Role of Ibn Abī Khaythama (d. 279/892) in the Criticism of Hadith Transmitters Abstract: Ibn Abī Khaythama is one of the scholars who contributed to the develop- ment of both hadith and Islamic historiography. His most important work al-Tārīkh al- Kabīr has only partially survived today. Ibn Abī Khaythama manifested his expertise on hadith transmitters by providing detailed information about their identification, years of death, relatives and intellectual surroundings, and was therefore quoted frequently by later authors. Having received education from prominent hadith critics, including his father Abū Khaythama, Yaḥyā b. Ma‘īn, and Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, Ibn Abī Khaythama played a significant role in the transmission of their critical opinions. Though he regu- larly participated in hadith circles and raised questions to his teachers about transmit- ters and their hadiths, he rarely expressed his individual opinion regarding the impugn- ment and certification of the transmitters. Keywords: Hadith Criticism, Isnād, Yaḥyā b. Ma‘īn, al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr, Brothers and Sisters among Transmitters Giriş “İbn Ebî Hayseme” diye tanınan Ebû Bekir Ahmed b. Züheyr b. Harb (ö. 279/892) 1 hadis tenkidinin III./IX. yüzyıldaki gelişimine katkı yapmış âlimlerden biridir. Döneminin önde * Yrd. Doç. Dr., Marmara Üniversitesi İlâhiyat Fakültesi Hadis Anabilim Dalı Öğretim Üyesi. E-posta: [email protected] 1 Hayatı hakkında aşağıda atıf yapılacak eserlere ilaveten bk. İbn Ebî Hayseme, et-Târîhu’l-kebîr, I, 15-25 ( önsözü); 1 Mustafa Macit KARAGÖZOĞLU gelen hadisçi ve tarihçilerinden ders almış olması, hem Hadis hem İslâm Tarihi disiplinini il- gilendiren Târîh’i ve hadis râvilerine (ricâl) dair eserlerde kendisine sıkça atıf yapılması onu önemli kılan özelliklerdendir. İbn Ebî Hayseme’nin incelenmesi günümüzün ilahiyat çalışmalarına iki yönden katkı sağlayabilir. İlk olarak İbn Ebî Hayseme, bugünkü akademik yapılanmada birbirinden ka- lın çizgilerle ayrılmış olan Hadis ve İslâm Tarihi ilim dalları arasında yoğun geçişkenlikle- rin olduğu bir zaman diliminde yaşamıştır; bu sebeple iki disiplin arasındaki mefhum, me- sele, metot ve telif tarzı yönünden benzerliklerin ve farkların tespiti için elverişli bir figürdür. İkinci olarak, Yahya b. Maîn (ö. 233/848), Ali b. el-Medînî (ö. 234/848-9), Ahmed b. Hanbel (ö. 241/855) ve Ebû Zür‘a er-Râzî (ö. 264/878) gibi meşhur hadis münekkitlerinin çok sayıda talebesi bulunmaktadır.

  • Soyun Önemi Bağlamında Yahudi-Haşmoni Krallığı Ve Vaftizci Yahya
    Marmara Üniversitesi İlâhiyat Fakültesi Dergisi • Cilt-Sayı 52 • Haziran 2017 • ISSN 1302-4973 • ss. 115-138 DOI: 10.15370/maruifd.333532 Soyun Önemi Bağlamında Yahudi-Haşmoni Krallığı ve Vaftizci Yahya Tolga Savaş ALTINEL 1* Öz: Haşmoni Krallığı, M.Ö. 140-M.Ö. 37 yılları arasında Yahudilerin kurmuş olduğu ender bağımsız devletlerden biridir. Ancak bu hanedanlık soyları sebep gösterilerek si- yasi ve dini erki kullanmada bir takım sınırlamalara maruz kalmıştır. Onlara gelenek- sel Yahudi otoriteleri tarafından muhalefet edilmiştir. Bunun asıl sebebi Haşmonilerin Helenleşmeye eğilimli olmalarıdır. Ancak bu muhalefet soylarının üstünlüğüne yöne- lik iddiaları üzerinde yapılmıştır. Bu çerçevede siyasi ve dini kurum ve unvanlar revize edilmiş, Haşmonilerin Davut soyundan olmadıkları öne sürülerek krallıklarının meş- ruiyetinin halk tarafından tanınması engellenmiş, iç savaşlarla uğraşmak durumda ka- lınca da krallıkları tarih sahnesinde ancak yüz yıl kalabilmiştir. Bu yazı soy üstünlüğü argümanının her iki tarafça siyasi bir retorikle ne şekilde kullanıldığını ortaya koymaya çalışacaktır. Bu bağlamda Yahudi dini otoritesini temsil eden Büyük Kurul (Sanhedrin) üzerinde yapılan değişiklikler, Haşmonilerin soyu, Haşmonilerin Kohenliğin gerektir- diği kan saflığını kaybettikleri iddiası ele alınacaktır. Ayrıca Herod ile Vaftizci Yahya’nın soy üstünlüğü konusundaki tavırları karşılaştırılacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Haşmoni, Seçilmiş Soy, Kohen, Herod, Vaftizci Yahya, Sanhedrin.

Die Zusatzbezeichnung „Pirke“ leitet sich von „Kapitel“ (pæræq) ab und ist nicht vor dem Mittelalter nachweisbar. 2.

Neben moralisch-ethischen Aussagen von Lehrern und deren Schüler wird in Pirke Avot 1,16-18 eine Genealogie der „Fürsten“ (jüdischen Patriarchen) übermittelt. In den ersten zwei Kapiteln verknüpfen die Rabbinen die lückenlos überlieferte biblische und nichtbiblische Lehre (mündliche und schriftliche → Tora) mit der rabbinischen Bewegung nach der Tempelzerstörung 70 n.

This work focuses on the 1300 year time frame bracketing the emergence of Christianity in the First Century, followed by the Christianizing of the Roman Empire post–Constantine, and finally, by the ending of the Crusades c. 1300 CE. The author focuses on the crushing historical forces at–play. The Jewish nation which entered this period, is unrecognizable from the Jewish nation which emerged…. * * * 21st CENTURY PUBLISHING New Paradigm Matrix Publishing David Birnbaum Editor-in-Chief [email protected] About the Author David Birnbaum is known globally as “the architect of Poten- tialism Theory” – a unified philosophy/cosmology/metaphysics. The paradigm-challenging theory is delineated in Birnbaum’s 3-volume Summa Metaphysica series (1988, 2005, 2014). A riposte to Summa Theologica of (St.) Thomas Aquinas, the Birnbaum treatise (see PotentialismTheory.com) challenges both the mainstream Western philosophy of Aristotelianism and the well-propped-up British/atheistic cosmology of Randomness (see ParadigmChallenge.com). The focus of over 150 reviews and articles (see SummaCoverage.com), a course text at over 15 insti- tutions of higher learning globally (see SummaCourseText.com), Summa Metaphysica was the focus of an international academic conference on Science & Religion April 16-19, 2012 (see BardCon- ference.com).

It is consecrated unto His worship. For those who seek its shelter the calm restfulness of its holy atmosphere refreshes the soul. There comes to us here a keener con- sciousness of our God, a fuller and freer recognition of His presence and His power in all the experiences of our life. Too often do we go our way day after day and forget His wisdom and guidance. The tasks and trials, the pursuits and pleasures of daily life absorb us and crowd the thought of God from our hearts. Therefore the Sabbath is given to us. It is as a gentle voice bidding us turn for a moment from our daily toil, that we may refresh ourselves with the waters of life drawn from the wells of salvation. We feel safe within the sacred walls of this house of prayer. We rejoice in this Sabbath hour of wor- ship, the heart's own hour of holy gladness.

  • Repentance Unto Life: Acceptance and Behavioural Expectations of Gentiles in the Jerusalem Church in Light of the Experience of Peter and Cornelius (Acts 11:18)
    Repentance unto life: Acceptance and behavioural expectations of Gentiles in the Jerusalem church in light of the experience of Peter and Cornelius (Acts 11:18) GA Timberlake Student number: 13229860 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Philosophaie Doctorae in Theology at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof Francois Viljoen May 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to extend a special word of thanks to: My sisters Claire Timberlake and Katharine Frey for their endless patience and chesed; My friends Rick and Nina Jordan for their unwavering support and overwhelming provision; Kelly Troia for her life-changing prayer; My mentor, Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg, for pouring Torah into me and for loving me; and Professor Francois Viljoen for his wisdom and guidance. I am thankful to my Master’s dissertation supervisor, Dr Allen P. Ross, for inspiring me many years ago to write on Biblical dreams and visions, one of which spread out a blanket of freedom for the entire Gentile world, and which appears in this present work. Finally, I am indebted to the direct descendants of Abraham who delight in shining as bright lights to the nations, or lagoim, for the benefit of the world, especially those of us gratefully “grafted-in” by grace. i DEDICATION To my parents: my earthly dad for teaching me about identity so I never had to wonder about my standing in the world, he showed me I was invaluable. And to my mother, one of the incredible grafted-in-ones, whose curiosity, zest for life and desire for learning impacted my own dreams and propelled me toward a sense of adventure.

We trust your experience with this and other volumes in the Library fulfills our motto and vision which is our commitment to you: MAKING THE WORDS OF THE WISE AVAILABLE TO ALL — INEXPENSIVELY. AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Schulthess, Johannes, Dr. the Swiss compeer of Paulus and Rohr in the advocacy of the older rationalism, was born Sept. 28, 1763, and received a predominantly philological training. His earliest labors were expended in behalf of reforms in the public schools (see Schweizer Schulfreund, 1812, etc.). His Kinderbibel des alten Testaments and his Schweizer Kinderfreund were highly esteemed as textbooks. He became a professor of the Zurich gymnasium, and prebendary in 1816, and from that time devoted himself to the department of New Test. exegesis. He endeavored to ground his rationalism on the Bible itself, even at the cost of violence to the text.
