Titre : Talmudo: Towards a Science of Sacrifice Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Naphtali S. Meshel , Anand Mishra and Hillel Mali, Auteur Année de publication : 2025 Article en page(s) : pp. 655-680 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A distinctive kind of theoretical and analytical discourse on ritual sacrifice evolved
within the Indian and Jewish traditions, in Mīmāṃsā and in Talmudic literatures,
respectively, introducing special modes of analyzing ritual sacrifice, and elaborate
methods of conceptualizing the relations between text and practice. Despite the
significant role that comparative studies of Vedic/Brahmanical and biblical/Jewish
sacrifice played in the development of the modern study of religion, a detailed
comparative study of these emic “sciences of sacrifice” has not yet been carried out.
This study examines two pericopes addressing a similar dilemma—the treatment
of ritual byproducts—from the Jaimini-Mīmāṃsā-Sūtra and from the Babylonian
Talmud, each discussed within its commentarial tradition. The texts reveal a
significant degree of convergence (major differences notwithstanding) in terms
of dialectic discourse, terminology, thought-structures, hermeneutic assumptions,
and more. Factors that may have contributed to this convergence are discussed, as
are the broader implications of this comparative experiment.

Titre : A Joban Theology of Consolation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sameer Yadav, Auteur Année de publication : 2025 Article en page(s) : pp. 181-203 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Contrary to much of the commentary tradition, the book of Job is not primarily a
discourse on how to properly speak (or withhold speech) about God in the midst
of innocent suffering, nor is it aimed primarily at offering up the character of Job
as an exemplar of how to suffer correctly (or incorrectly). Neither is it a treatise
about human submission to (or rebellion from) God’s mysterious sovereign
prerogative in permitting evil. It is instead a theological exploration of the dilemmas
and demands of consolation that confront us given the inexplicable enormities of
human suffering. Its unifying aim is to confront us with multiple voices that pull
us into an open-ended—and decidedly pessimistic—reflection on what innocent
suffering reveals to us about our creaturely limits and the fragility of our hope in
God, features of the human condition that require our capacities for compassion
to exceed our capacities for theological sense-making

Titre : Select Priestly Offering: Law and Narrative in the Aramaic Levi Document Priestly Offering: Law and Narrative in the Aramaic Levi Document Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hillel Mali, Auteur Année de publication : 2025 Article en page(s) : pp. 1-20 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : n this article, I propose a new reading for both law and narrative in the Aramaic
Levi Document (ALD). In the first section, I show that the passage of “the law of
the priesthood” pertains to the daily morning service in the Temple. In the second
section, I suggest that the narrative that contains these instructions, in which Isaac

Titre : Select “Meat from the Heavens”: The Prohibition on Meat Consumption Imposed on Adam and the Jewish-Christian Polemic “Meat from the Heavens”: The Prohibition on Meat Consumption Imposed on Adam and the Jewish-Christian Polemic Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : David Sabato, Auteur Année de publication : 2025 Article en page(s) : pp. 436-455 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Toward the end of the Noahide commandment pericope in the Talmud (b. Sanh. 56–60), we find a sugya (pericope) featuring the prohibition on meat consumption imposed on Adam and its permission to the Noahides. This unique sugya pieces together halakic and haggadic sources that reinterpret the Garden of Eden story and address the complex relationship between humans and animals. This article will examine this sugya, focusing on its closing story, which describes a pietist who merits a gift of heavenly flesh. I will demonstrate that the story has many levels of meaning, grounded in both its immediate and wider contexts, and claim that it conceals a polemic with a similar Christian story (Acts 10), which describes impure meat that descends from the sky, undermining the cultural and halakic divisions between Jews and non-Jews. The comparison between the two stories reveals opposing worldviews with regard to law and lawlessness, utopia and redemption.

Titre : In the Septuagint: Color or State? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lourdes García Ureña, Auteur Année de publication : 2025 Article en page(s) : pp. 204-227 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The adjective χλωρός appears in the Septuagint to translate Hebrew terms that not only denote color, but state as well. In fact, in biblical Hebrew color is not a quality, but rather a “state” of the entities it describes. It is logical to wonder, then, whether it also expresses this in the Septuagint or if it denotes only color. To answer this question, it is necessary to carry out an interdisciplinary study of color and color language. The methodology followed will first study the concept of color in the Hellenistic world and in the Septuagint, as well as the cultural context in which the Septuagint translators lived. Subsequently, an approximate account of the “encyclopedic knowledge” that those translators possessed will be given, followed, finally, by a semantic analysis of χλωρός in the Septuagint. After applying this methodology, it will be shown that in the Septuagint, as in the Hellenistic world in general, natural color expresses both color and state, with color being the visual reflection of that st

Titre : Covenant and Community in Early Rabbinic Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tzvi Novick, Auteur Année de publication : 2025 Article en page(s) : pp. 228-249 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This article concerns the role of covenant in early rabbinic literature in relation to biblical and especially Second Temple-era predecessors. The first part establishes that the Qumran sectarians and earlier circles were drawn to the concept of covenant because it represented, especially through the mechanism of covenant renewal, a powerful tool for defining and supporting group identity. The second part shows that for the rabbis, the importance of covenant lay chiefly, instead, in its capacity to conceptualize the notion of Israel as a collective body defined by corporate responsibility. The third part suggests that this novel deployment of covenant arose in part to counter the individuating force of halakah as law, another innovation of the rabbis.

Titre : The Death of “Jewish Christianity” in the Afterlife of the Clementine Recognitions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Warren C. Campbell, Auteur Année de publication : 2025 Article en page(s) : pp. 456-474 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The editorial history of the two Pseudo-Clementine narratives known as the Recognitions and the Homilies is intricate, to say the least. From an ever-elusive “basic writing” spring two novelistic stories with extensive translation histories, subjected to significant editorial interventions, and anthologized alongside other late ancient and medieval texts. This article focuses on the addition of pseudonymous epistles as prefatory material for these Pseudo-Clementines and follows one of these letters in particular, the Epistula Clementis (Ep. Clem.). The Epistula Clementis accompanies the Latin Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions in a host of medieval anthologies concerned with Petrine hagiography and ecclesial succession, as well as histories, dialogues, and epistolary texts with anti-Judaic resonances. I argue that the Epistula Clementis, as a prefatory text, was integral to the success of the Recognitions in these later anthologies, highlighting the transformative power of the preface upon its associated text as well as the hermeneutical force of the anthology itself.
