The Origin and Development of the Old Testament Sabbath: A Comprehensive Exegetical Approach (Beiträge zur biblischen Exegese und Theologie) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Since post-exilic times both the OT and Judaism have ascribed to the observance of the Sabbath as a weekly day of rest great importance. In pre-exilic times abstinece from work on the seventh day was not related to the Sabbath, which was a monthly lunar festival analogous to the Babylonian sap/battu. The Exile paved the way for the post-exilic identification of both institutions. The full-moon day became part of the celebration of Yahweh's kingship in Jerusalem and hence Yahweh's special day, a symbol of his universal sovereignty, of the unity and equality of mankind, and of the negation of other gods. The Sabbath now becomes a distinctive feature of Judaism.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Scarce paperback, 442 pages, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear only. Book is clean and bright, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Straight spine. -- An exegetical study tracing the historical and theological evolution of the Sabbath from its ancient roots through the Old Testament period. The central argument of the book is that the conception and practice of the Sabbath in the Old Testament changed significantly over time. Pre-Exilic Period: In pre-exilic times, the book argues that abstention from work on the seventh day was not directly linked to the Sabbath as we know it today. Instead, the Sabbath was more likely a monthly lunar festival, similar to the Babylonian sapattum. The Exile and Post-Exilic Period: The Babylonian Exile was a pivotal period that led to the identification and merging of the ancient lunar festival with the practice of the weekly day of rest. Observance of the Sabbath became a crucial sign of Judean identity in a foreign land. Theological Significance: In post-exilic Judaism, the Sabbath became a distinctive feature of the faith, celebrated as a symbol of God's universal sovereignty, the unity of humankind, and the negation of other gods. The author uses a "comprehensive exegetical approach" that combines rigorous analysis of biblical texts and scarce archaeological/written sources to support his historical reconstruction. This study makes a significant contribution to biblical scholarship by arguing for a historical development of the Sabbath concept, challenging the idea of a single, unchanging institution from creation onwards.
