• W2116076854 abstract "This volume consists of numerous essays which have been divided into two groups; ‘History and Historiography’ and ‘Text, Literature, and Interpretation’. Initially, Lisbeth Fried ‘Ezra’s Use of Documents in the Context of Hellenistic Rules of Rhetoric’ revisits literary and historical questions concerning Ezra 1–6 by using Hellenistic rules of rhetorical historiography such as use of the first person, the use of ‘authentic’ documents, and lists. Fried concludes that the author of these chapters complied with such demands in creating the text, the purpose of such rhetoric being to persuade the reader that the ‘people of the land’ were enemies of the Jews. Lester Grabbe’s chapter ‘What was Nehemiah up to?: Looking for Models for Nehemiah’s Polity’, analyses various Greek and Ancient Near Eastern figures who have been suggested as parallels to Nehemiah. Although Grabbe maintains that Nehemiah’s story concerns actual events, he also believes that cross-cultural parallels to Nehemiah are helpful if they are used with caution (for example, for furnishing analogies which aid our understanding rather than to prove that a particular account is ‘true’). Don Polaski’s contribution, ‘Nehemiah: Subject of the Empire, Subject of Writing’, examines Nehemiah’s use of writing in relation to empire and colony, arguing that the letters in Ezra and Nehemiah are used by the authors in a similar way to the Achaemenid Empire’s use of written texts as a means of projecting and maintaining power. Klaas Smelik, ‘Nehemiah as a “Court Jew”€’, discusses Nehemiah’s role as a court Jew by comparing his work with court Jews in Germany during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in order to illustrate the ambiguous loyalties of such figures who wanted both to protect their people but also to be devoted to their emperor. The comparisons expose the potentially split loyalties, between the Persian king and his own people, that may be lying beneath the text’s representation of Nehemiah. Oded Lipschits’s essay, ‘Nehemiah 3: Sources, Composition, and Purpose’, examines the list of builders in Nehemiah 3 through looking at the various formulas within it, sources it comprises, and its editing. Lipschits argues that the verb קיזחה should be translated as ‘support’ in the sense of ‘finance’ instead of ‘build’. As such, the list is the editor’s way of illustrating the widespread support that Nehemiah attracted in his building. David Ussishkin’s article ‘On Nehemiah’s City Wall and the Size of Jerusalem during the Persian Period: An Archaeologist’s View’, revisits the question of how to reconstruct the line of the city wall which Nehemiah describes, arguing that the plan to resettle the large city failed, and most of its old quarters remained uninhabited, with the population concentrated around the central part of the City of David and the area of the Temple Mount. Manfred Oeming’s chapter, ‘The Real History: The Theological Ideas behind Nehemiah’s Wall’, emphasizes the methodologically problematic nature of attempting to write a literary history solely on the basis of material remains. As such, Oeming examines the wall’s significance from a variety of perspectives such as its secular significance, its symbolic significance in Nehemiah, especially in the light of its marking of a new era in salvation history, its cultic, theological, and ethical significance, its importance in late prophetic material and in Ezekiel 40–8, and its value in comparison with other Ancient Near Eastern parallels. Ran Zadok’s contribution, ‘Some Issues in Ezra–Nehemiah’, examines the figure of Nehemiah in various sources and lists, arguing that the figure of Ezra derives from and at several points even duplicates the depiction of Nehemiah (although Zadok does not go so far as to assert that Ezra is an invented figure)." @default.
