Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

The present volume was compiled as a respectful tribute to A.S. van der Woude and presented to him on the occasion of his 65th birthday, which coincided with his retirement as professor of Old Testament and Intertestamental Studies at the University of Groningen, a chair he held for more than thirty years.
The title of this Festschrift, The Scriptures and the Scrolls, reflects the two fields of study to which he has devoted his scholarly life, not only by doing research himself, but also by stimulating many of his colleagues to collaborate in publications initiated by him.
The contributions, a melange of studies covering the wide range of Van der Woude's interests, have been arranged according to the order: Hebrew Bible (following the sequence of the books), Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Rabbinic Tradition, etc.

Críticas:

'...all the contributions are of high interest...' George J. Brooke, Journal for the Study of Judaism. '...this is a worthy tribute to an outstanding collegue, essays proved fresh insights, some on well-known problems; some take a debatable, sometimes a provocative, stance, and ensure that discussion will continue.' G.H. Jones, Society for Old Testament Studies, 1993. '...important references for theological libraries.' E. Earle Ellis, Southw. Journal of Theology, vol.36. '...the editors are to be congratulated for assembling an international team of eminent contributions who pay fitting tribute to one of Europe's most distinguished scholars of the OT and of the Second Temple period.' Peter W. Flint, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 1994. 'Professor van der Woude's scholarly reputation and expertise in so many areas is amply reflected in this collection of studies...' Peter W. Coxon, Journal of Semitic studies, 1995. '...das Buch ist ein reiches, bewegt-bewegendes, der Freiheit Gottes in Jesus Christus frohes und frohmachendes.' Jurgen Fangmeier, Theologische Literaturzeitung, 1994. 'This volume is a superb collection of essays that indicate something of the esteem in which A.S van der Woude is held among contemporary Old Testament scholars.' Katharine J. Dell, Vetus Testamentum, 1997. 'This is an important collection with articles ranging across the spectrum of biblical studies from the more traditional to the more radical, from the more text-based to the historical and literary, from interest in the earlies laws of Israel to the latest rabbinic productions - a veritable feast for the serious biblical scholar.' Richard A. Taylor, Biblioteca Sacra, 1995.
