Rewriting the Sacred Text(1st Edition) What the Old Greek Texts Tell Us About the Literary Growth of the Bible (Text-Critical Studies, 4) by KristinDeTroyer Hardcover, 145 Pages, Published 2004 by Brill Academic Pub ISBN-13: 978-90-04-13089-0, ISBN: 90-04-13089-6
"Though most treatments of the historical development of the Hebrew Bible focus almost exclusively on Hebrew witnesses, Old Greek witnesses paint a picture of the growth of the Bible that is both fascinating and diverse. Four different patterns of development are examined and evaluated in this study: a rewritten Hebrew biblical text; a proto-Masoretic biblical text; a rewritten Greek biblical text; and a lost Hebrew Vorlage. Readers who ..."
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 ..."

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 ..."
"In this monograph, differences between the Hebrew and the Greek text of the Book of Joshua are studied. In chapter 1 the differences in commands and their executions are analysed, with examples from the story of the collapse of the wall of Jericho (Josh 6) and the battle against Ai (Josh 8). In chapter 2, examples, like "all the law that Joshua commanded" (e.g. Josh 1:7) and the concept of "crossing this Jordan," are analysed and explai ..."
"1, the interlinear paradigm neglects, at least in principle, axiom 2, interpreting the
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.

"How did ancient scribes interpret their own reality by means of scriptural exegesis? The essays in this volume explore this question from various perspectives by examining the earliest known exegetical texts of Jewish origin, namely, the exegetical texts from the Qumran library. Scholars have debated the precise nature of the exegetical techniques used in the Qumran texts. To bring clarity to the discussion, this book analyzes the pheno ..."

The first part of the book, entitled The Septuagint. Origins and Translations contains articles on what a translator is and does (such as the contribution from Benjamin G. Wright and Joachim Schaper) or how LXX Genesis functions as the first translation of Scrip ..."
"It is often said that prophecy came to an end in the early Second Temple period. This volume investigates how the Dead Sea Scrolls help to better understand Israelite Jewish prophecy and Israelite-Jewish prophetic texts. However, it not only contributes to the study of prophecy and the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible by analyzing the textual history and interpretative history of prophetic books - the former being concerned with the ..."
