Beyond Eden: The Biblical Story of Paradise (Genesis 2-3) and Its Reception History (Forschungen Zum Alten Testament 2.Reihe) - Softcover
Synopsis
The story of paradise (Genesis 2-3) is probably one of the best known texts in world literature. It has had a very rich reception history over many centuries. Genesis 2-3 formulates fundamental premises and problems of human self-understanding in the Western world. Why is the world in which we live seen as a "paradise lost"? Why might human knowledge be problematic? Why does human society have a patriarchal structure? Why is human existence limited in terms of time? Using a multidisciplinary approach, this volume explores the historical meanings and the many ways in which this narrative has been received. With contributions by: Rudiger Bittner, Emidio Campi, Daniele Garrone, Thomas Kruger, Laura Nasrallah, Christoph Riedweg, Konrad Schmid, Michael Signer, Jean-Louis Ska, Hermann Spieckermann, Terje Stordalen, Michael Stone, Nira Stone

Condition: Neu. The Biblical Story of Paradise (Genesis 2-3) and Its Reception History. Edited by Konrad Schmid and Christoph Riedweg. In neun englisch- und drei deutschsprachigen Beiträgen erkunden die Autoren den historischen Eigensinn der biblischen Paradieserzählung ebenso wie deren vielfältige Rezeptionen und Wirkungen. Die biblische Paradieserzählung ist einer der bekanntesten Texte der Weltliteratur, der zudem eine ausgesprochen reiche Wirkungsgeschichte entfaltet hat. In Genesis 2-3 werden fundamentale Prämissen und Problemfelder menschlichen Selbstverständnisses der jüdisch-christlichen Geistestradition angesprochen und diskutiert. Weshalb wird die Erfahrung der realen menschlichen Lebenswelt als »paradise lost« interpretiert? Weshalb ist menschliche Erkenntnisfähigkeit problematisch? Weshalb ist eine Gesellschaftsordnung patriarchal organisiert? Inwiefern ist Freiheit ein elementarer Bestandteil der conditio humana? Weshalb ist menschliche Existenz notwendigerweise zeitlich begrenzt? Mit Beiträgen von Jean-Louis Ska, Terje Stordalen, Konrad Schmid, Hermann Spieckermann, Thomas Krüger, Laura Nasrallah, Michael Stone, Christoph Riedweg, Michael A. Signer, Nira Stone, Emidio Campi und Rüdiger Bittner. XIV,295 Seiten mit 15 Tafeln, broschiert (Forschungen zum Alten Testament. 2. Reihe; Band 34/Mohr Siebeck 2008). Früher EUR 79,00.
