Old Testament Quotations in Hebrews

By: Georg Walser

This thesis aims at investigating the use of the Old Testament in the New, and in Hebrews specifically, focusing on two aspects which appear to have been somewhat neglected in previous scholarship, namely the text and context of specific quotations. The aspect of text takes the complicated textual history of the Old Testament into account, especially concentrating on the findings of recent Septuagint research and particularly the possibility that different Hebrew texts may underlie the Greek translation. The aspect of context draws on the assumption that Hebrews was composed in a Jewish context, where the Old Testament text had been interpreted for a long time. It is also presupposed that this exegesis was handed down along with the Hebrew Scriptures not only in the post Second Temple Jewish community, but also in the early Church. Hence primary sources, such as Talmud, Midrash and early Church Fathers, are consulted with the intention of better understanding the interpretation of the Old Testament quotations in Hebrews. To do this three Old Testament texts, which exist in distinctly different versions and have been quoted in Hebrews, have been examined, namely Gen. 47:31b (in Heb. 11:21), Ps. 40:7b (in Heb. 10:5), and Jer. 31:33 (in Heb. 8:10 and 10:16). The outcome of this study shows that several versions of Old Testament texts were interpreted at the time of the New Testament and that the peculiarities of the different versions had a decisive impact on the exegesis of the texts. Further, it shows that some versions of the texts were favoured in the Jewish context while others were preferred in the early Church. Hence different understandings of Old Testament passages in different contexts are sometimes not the result of different interpretations of the same texts, but of the exegesis of different versions of the same text.

Two Lives in Uncertain Times

Facing the Challenges of the 20th Century as Scholars and Citizens

By: Wilma Iggers,Georg Iggers

Published in Association with the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C. Wilma and Georg Iggers came from different backgrounds, Wilma from a Jewish farming family from the German-speaking border area of Czechoslovakia, Georg from a Jewish business family from Hamburg. They both escaped with their parents from Nazi persecution to North America where they met as students. As a newly married couple they went to the American South where they taught in two historic Black colleges and were involved in the civil rights movement. In 1961 they began going to West Germany regularly not only to do research but also to further reconciliation between Jews and Germans, while at the same time in their scholarly work contributing to a critical confrontation with the German past. After overcoming first apprehensions, they soon felt Göttingen to be their second home, while maintaining their close involvements in America. After 1966 they frequently visited East Germany and Czechslovakia in an attempt to build bridges in the midst of the Cold War. The book relates their very different experiences of childhood and adolescence and then their lives together over almost six decades during which they endeavored to combine their roles as parents and scholars with their social and political engagements. In many ways this is not merely a dual biography but a history of changing conditions in America and Central Europe during turbulent times.

Jeremiah Studies

From Text and Contexts to Theology

By: Georg Fischer

Recent research on the Book of Jeremiah reveals it as a meta-text. Georg Fischer shows that in dealing with earlier writings and using the example of the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC at the end of the Persian period, the book offers a synthesis and its own view of biblical faith in Jhwh." --back cover

Seeberger Kids Days

By: Georg Satirev

It's about the question of the "right life". When Paul receives a life-threatening diagnosis, the answer is all the more urgent. Together with his friend, he begins a journey through time, back to the days of his childhood. Paul's grandparents' conventional philosophy of life, which always found its own individual expression while safeguarding their own interests, makes his carefree childhood at Lake Starnberg appear in a different light in retrospect. By interweaving the 1950s with the present, Paul comes closer to understanding. And even if, from today's perspective, he considers quite a few of the arrangements of the time to be questionable, his benevolent, appreciative attitude brings him very close to "life lived properly".

The Narrative of the Occident

The Narrative of the Occident

An Essay on Its Present State

By: Georg Schmid

Civilizations «narrate themselves» in order to establish legitimacy, succeed against others, portray their own merits to their best advantage. The results express societal dynamics, yet also have a retroactive effect and decisively influence the self-conceptions of the «initiating societies». Political philosophies, interpretations of history and social perceptions of artistic achievements all contribute to these narratives. The dignified components, however, are by no means the sole or even the most important ones. Distinction in material culture (technological proficiency, popular art forms, etc.) or economic adroitness are even more consequential. The occidental narrative has been badly vacillating lately. Its severe crisis - due in part to a lack of collective self-confidence, but also to disagreements between its main strands - merits a meticulous analysis of a multitude of criteria. The resulting critique is embedded in reflections on a general theory of narrativity.

Learning mobility and non-formal learning in European contexts: Policies, approaches and examples

By: Günter J.Friesenhahn, Hanjo Schild, Hans-Georg Wicke, Judit Balogh,Council of Europe

Mobility is considered to be important for the personal development and employability of young people, as well as for intercultural dialogue, participation and active citizenship. Learning mobility in the youth field focuses on non-formal learning as a relevant part of youth work, with links to informal learning as well as to formal education. Different stakeholders at European level, particularly the Council of Europe and the European Commission, but also individual member states, foster programmes and strategies to enhance the mobility of young people, and particularly the learning dimension in mobility schemes. This book on learning mobility is a joint Council of Europe and European Commission publication, and provides texts of an academic, scientific, political and practical nature for all stakeholders in the youth field - youth leaders and youth workers, policy makers, researchers and so on. It should contribute to dialogue and co-operation between relevant players and to discussion on the further development and purpose of youth mobility schemes and their outcomes for young people.

Poems (1913)

By: Georg Trakl

The Austrian poet Georg Trakl (1887-1914) wrote with a singular voice that captivated a wide range of admirers: the philosophers Heidegger and Wittgenstein; fellow writers and poets like Beckett, Rilke, and Walser; and composers such as Webern and Hindemith. Two collections of his poetry were prepared for publication during his lifetime. The vast majority of poems in the first book, Poems (1913), feature crystalline meters and regular rhyme schemes that produce a hypnotic music. In the second book, Sebastian in a Dream (1915), the reverse is true, and most poems are written in free verse. These translations reproduce the musical experience of the first book for the English reader. Here the formal elements provide a little air, a little lift on which the poet’s simple words and surprising invocations go gliding by in all their mystery.

The Waste Books

The Waste Books

By: Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

German scientist and man of letters Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was an 18th-century polymath: an experimental physicist, an astronomer, a mathematician, a practicing critic both of art and literature. He is most celebrated, however, for the casual notes and aphorisms that he collected in what he called his Waste Books. With unflagging intelligence and encyclopedic curiosity, Lichtenberg wittily deflates the pretensions of learning and society, examines a range of philosophical questions, and tracks his own thoughts down hidden pathways to disconcerting and sometimes hilarious conclusions. Lichtenberg's Waste Books have been greatly admired by writers as very different as Tolstoy, Einstein, and Andre Breton, while Nietzsche and Wittgenstein acknowledged them as a significant inspiration for their own radical work in philosophy. The record of a brilliant and subtle mind in action, The Waste Books are above all a powerful testament to the necessity, and pleasure, of unfettered thought.

Geometry and its Applications in Arts, Nature and Technology

By: Georg Glaeser

This book returns geometry to its natural habitats: the arts, nature and technology. Throughout the book, geometry comes alive as a tool to unlock the understanding of our world. Assuming only familiarity with high school mathematics, the book invites the reader to discover geometry through examples from biology, astronomy, architecture, design, photography, drawing, engineering and more. Lavishly illustrated with over 1200 figures, all of the geometric results are carefully derived from scratch, with topics from differential, projective and non-Euclidean geometry, as well as kinematics, introduced as the need arises. The mathematical results contained in the book range from very basic facts to recent results, and mathematical proofs are included although not necessary for comprehension. With its wide range of geometric applications, this self-contained volume demonstrates the ubiquity of geometry in our world, and may serve as a source of inspiration for architects, artists, designers, engineers, and natural scientists. This new edition has been completely revised and updated, with new topics and many new illustrations.

The Greek of the Ancient Synagogue

The Greek of the Ancient Synagogue

An Investigation on the Greek of the Septuagint, Pseudepigrapha and the New Testament

By: Georg Walser

A number of frequent linguistic phenomena--participles, conjunctions, particles--in the Pentateuch are investigated and compared to those in a corpus of other texts. The conclusion is that a group of texts that belong to the context of the synagogue were quite similar to the Pentateuch and to each other, but differed significantly from the texts having no reference to the synagogue. Both the Hebrew original and the translation technique of the Pentateuch influenced this contrast. The investigation assumes that Greek texts produced in the context of the synagogue, as well as other Greek texts of the period, reflected a common sociolinguistic situation of writing in distinctive ways according to the genre or occasion at hand. This is explored with the concept of diglossia. The peculiar variety of Greek found in the Pentateuch emerges as yet another variety used for a particular genre, intended for a certain audience, and dealing with the same subject. This special variety of Greek recurs mainly in texts from the Septuagint, pseudepigrapha and the New Testament.
