Truth Interdisciplinary Dialogues in a Pluralist Age (Studies in Philosophical Theology) by Christine Helmer, KristinDeTroyer, Katie Goetz Paperback, 257 Pages, Published 2003 by Peeters ISBN-13: 978-90-429-1315-8, ISBN: 90-429-1315-0
"The volume relates the controversy concerning competing knowledge claims to truth. In a pluralist context, substantive claims can no longer be made by skirting epistemological issues. Rather, claims concerning content can only be adequately addressed once epistemological issues have been clarified. Truth must furthermore be related to the hermeneutical task of understanding another's position. Finally, truth must be related to the rules ..."
"How do the halakhic texts from Qumran as well as those Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls, which attest to legal texts of the Hebrew Bible, lead to a new interpretation and understanding of the Pentateuchal law collections and other legal texts in the Hebrew Bible and how do they help to illuminate the reception history of the Torah? These are the central questions of this book. The book consists of three parts: Part I: The Legal Texts from Qumr ..."

"Until recently, most non-biblical manuscripts attested in the Qumran library were regarded as copies of texts that were composed after the books of the Hebrew Bible were written. Students of the Hebrew Bible found the Dead Sea Scrolls therefore mostly of interest for the textual and interpretative histories of these books. The present collection confirms the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls for both areas, by showing that they have re ..."
"The biblical Dead Sea Scrolls are about a thousand years older than the earliest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible and provide crucial insights into the history of the biblical texts. The "Biblia Qumranica" is the first comparative edition of these unique textual witnesses. The present volume provides a synopsis of the Minor Prophets manuscripts from Qumran and the other sites at the Dead Sea. In addition the Masoretic text (accor ..."

translation as text.31 Put another way, the hermeneutical approach of proponents
of the nets project is one akin to an author-oriented hermeneutic.32 The general
difficulties of an author-oriented hermeneutic have been frequentlynoted.

"Albert Hogeterp has argued that this text also “exhibits underlying textual variety
in the Daniel tradition.”"'9 The evidence for this is subtle; it consists of a couple of
parallels (mention of angels, El Elyon or the Most High God) between this
Aramaic text and the LXX but not the MT of Daniel 4. These parallels are neither
extensive nor distinctive enough to prove the point, although they raise an
intriguing possibility. It is g ..."
