The manuscript was subjected to rigorous two-step peer review prior to publication, with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher and/or authors in question. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the manuscript be published. Where the reviewers recommended revision and/or improvements to the manuscript, the authors responded adequately to such recommendations. Research Justification Migration is an issue that is under discussion worldwide and affects South Africa, United States and Germany in a distinctive way. This book reflects academically on this significant and topical subject of migration from the often neglected perspective of the fields of theology and Christian ethics. While the majority of contributions are from the South African context, there are also chapters reflecting on the topic from the two other aforementioned contexts. While numerous publications have recently appeared on the subject, reflections from theology and Christian ethics are often lacking. As such, this scholarly publication wants to add ethical value to the local and global conversations on the theme from a theological perspective. The book reflects on migration from the perspectives originated in the disciplines of biblical studies (the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament), systematic theology, ecumenical studies, Christian ethics, practical theology and missiology. It presents new and innovative inquiries primarily from a qualitative methodological viewpoint. The book unveils new themes for deliberation and provides novel interpretations and insights into existing research. The co-authors represent a variety of academic, cultural and confessional backgrounds and as such, a range of epistemological points of departure, adding to the richness and value of the contribution. The target audience of this book includes scholars, peers, researchers and professionals with an interest in migration, in particular as reflected upon from the fields of theology and Christian ethics. The chapters are based on original research, except the one authored by Professor Matthew Kaemingk with the title ‘Muslim Immigration and Reformed Christology’. In this chapter the author revisits and reworks, with permission granted by the publisher, his previous research published in his book Christian Hospitality and Muslim Immigration in an Age of Fear. No part of the book was plagiarised from another publication or books.

  • DAHL, J. — the Ruling Family of Ur III Umma. a Prosopo
    93248_BIOR_2010-1-2_01 08-06-2010 17:26 Pagina 56 107 BIBLIOTHECA ORIENTALIS LXVII N° 1-2, januari-april 2010 108 by the abundant documentation from Umma,1) and on the other hand by the fact that starting in the year Sulgi 33, the majority of the strategic offices were in the hands of one family that uninterruptedly controlled both provincial and temple households. Furthermore, Dahl proposes a model for understanding the genealogy of the royal family and other Ur III elite families, for which comparable data is not available. In chapters 1 and 2, after a brief introduction to the orga- nization of the Ur III state,2) the author describes the patterns of hereditary succession: lineal, when power is passed from generation to generation, versus non-lineal, or lateral, when power is passed within the same generation. Lineal succes- sion can be matrilineal or patrilineal, the latter can be further divided into succession by primogeniture and seniority. Dahl discusses the historicity of the so-called Sumerian King List and he questions whether the prevailing Mesopotamian sys- tem of succession, and in particular that adopted by the Third Dynasty of Ur, was strictly patrilineal primogeniture. Although all of the dynasties following the end of the Ur III reign adopted a lineal primogeniture pattern of succession, Dahl tentatively suggests that a system of seniority prevailed throughout the third millennium (p. 11). In chapter 3 Dahl provides an updated picture of the House of Ur-Namma, which lasted, according to Dahl, three gener- ations, Amar-Suen, Su-Suen and Ibbi-Suen possibly all being sons of Sulgi.

  • The Elamite Family (The Royal Family, Adoptions)
    Mundo Elamita 2016/2 THE ELAMITE FAMILY (THE ROYAL FAMILY, ADOPTIONS) Enrique Quintana Centr o de Estudios del Próximo Oriente y la A ntigüedad T ardía (CEPOAT) Universidad de Murcia (España) Centre for Near Eastern and Late Antiquity Studies (CEPOAT) University of Murcia (Spain) ABSTRACT The present topic is little known. No great interest has been dedicated to it. Only when studying the in herita nce right to the throne scholars have glancingly mentioned some thing about famil y relations. The ancient royal incest theory has attracted most attention. Royal marriage between brother and sister, father and daughter, mother and son, has been in vogue among scholars, though not generally accepted. This theory, being definitely challenged and contested, due to the lack of any textual base, has not been followed nor incorporated. With the scarce documental sources at hand, the Elamite family is introduced unadorned. From the texts it appears a surprisingly monogamous ro yal Elamite family.

For about 2500 years of a history full of conflicts, they could defeat invades of their powerful neighbors including Sumer, Akkad and Babylon and kept protected their independency and identity, but finally they assigned their reign to Assyrian. Elamites kept some features of their civilization including matriarchy system (transfer of king parentage from mother) and also their religion. The remained evidences show influence of Elamite religion on Elamite kings and people and they also show that Elamite religion has common points and discrete features with Mesopotamian religion. However, powerful state of Elam had continued for about 3000 years, from 3500 BC to 645 BC. Key words: Elam; Religion; Society; Politics; Sumer; Mesopotamia 1.

  • Communication with the Divine in Ancient Egypt: Hearing Deities, Intermediary Statues and Sistrophores
    COMMUNICATION WITH THE DIVINE IN ANCIENT EGYPT: HEARING DEITIES, INTERMEDIARY STATUES AND SISTROPHORES by ELEANOR BETH SIMMANCE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the desire for contact with deities in Egypt, the artistic and textual expression of which can be viewed as characteristic of ‘personal piety’. The attribution of hearing abilities to deities through epithets and phrases is evocative of human attempts to communicate with the divine sphere, and the Egyptian evidence is presented. A case study of so-called ‘intermediary statues’, which claim to facilitate communication between human and god, offers an opportunity to investigate how some members of the elite adapted their artistic output to take advantage of popular beliefs, furthering their own commemoration. Sistrophorous statues (bearing a naos-sistrum) are well-represented in the intermediary corpus, and their symbolism is explored alongside the significance of statue form and temple location in the context of communication with gods.
