No full textLe site de Tel ‘Eton, localisé dans la plaine de la Shéphélah à 3 km au nord de Tell Beit Mirsim, a déjà été mentionné dans AI 34-36, n° 62 (FAUST, Avraham ; KATZ, Hayah. « Survey, Shovel Tests and Excavations at Tel ‘Eton: On Methodology and Site History ». Tel Aviv 39, 2012, p. 158-185). C’est la raison pour laquelle le site est recensé ici, même si sa couche achéménide remonte à la toute fin de cette époque. Le site a été habité du IVème au début du IIIème s. av. n. è. et comprenait alors ..
Archaeology and Ancient Israelite Religion
No full textIsraelite religions have always fascinated scholars. Initial studies used the Bible as their main source of information and attempted to read it critically in order to learn about the religion of ancient Israel. With the advent of modern research in the Near East, more and more information on other Ancient Near Eastern religions was accumulated and initially used to illuminate Israelite religious practices as described in the Bible, but gradually led to challenging some of the accepted truisms. The new information was collected mainly through archaeological excavations, and archaeology had gradually become a major player in the study of ancient Israelite religion(s) and religious practices. The massive amount of information on the various subthemes related to Israelite religions, the shifting trends in scholarship, the multiplicity of approaches, and the interdisciplinary nature of the field means that no single scholar can master all the data today. Indeed, there is currently no comprehensive and updated book that covers all or even most aspects pertaining to Israelite religion(s). This volume is a partial attempt to fill some of this lacuna. The volume includes a number of broad, summarizing studies, presenting readers with the up-to-date state of the research on a number of important issues, from Solomon’s temple to broader studies of the loci of cultic activity in ancient Israel through to analysis of the difference between the “official” and “popular” expression of religion, the place of women in Israelite cult(s), similarities and differences between the religious practices in Israel and Judah and those of other Iron Age religions, and the religion of some of Israel’s neighbors to the role of zooarchaeology in the study of religion, ancient Israelite festivals, and more

The Parable of the Prodigal Son and Jewish-Christian Relations: Brothers in the mirror
No full textThe Wirkungsgescichte of the well-known arable of the prodigal son has strong repercussions upon Jewish-Christian relations. Tertullian denies this application and identifies Christianity with he prodigal son only when coming from paganism. Augustine applies the prodigal son to Christianity, but tries to blame the eldest son although he is identified with Jews loyal to Gods law. The Jewish philosopher Rosenzweig derives from the same parable his conviction of separate tasks of Judaism (staying with the Father) and Christianity (coming to the Father)
Avraham Faust, Hayah Katz. Survey, Shovel Tests and Excavations at Tel cEton: On Methodology and Site History
No full textTel ‘Eton est un site localisé dans la plaine de la Shéphélah à 3 km au nord de Tell Beit Mirsim. Plus de 1000 tessons de céramique de col de jarres ont été collectés durant la prospection du site. La plupart d’entre eux remonte au Fer II, et quelques-uns à l’époque achéménide. C’est dans la moitié nord (Lower mound) que ces derniers sont le plus fréquents. L’ouverture de petites tranchées (shovel test) n’a pas permis cette fois ci de mettre de l’architecture perse au jour (cf. c.r. Avraham F..
Economic utopia of the Torah. Economic concepts of the Hebrew Bible interpreted according to the Rabbinical Literature
No full textHebrew Bible offers alternative Economic utopia for building Theocratic society. In this paper, various economic concepts and themes are presented, as found in the Hebrew Bible. These economic concepts include taxation, property rights, labor market, social policy, banking, years of Sabbath and Jubilee, and business cycles. Most economic issues of the Bible are found in the texts of Torah, also known as five Books of Moses. These texts are analyzed by using classical Rabbinical commentaries for better insight. Contrary to the modern Economic theory which is based on the assumptions of scarcity of resources and unlimited needs of consumers, Economics of the Torah is based on God’s resources which are enough for all true needs of His people.Hebrew Bible, History of Economics, History of Economic Thought, Ancient Israel, Judaism
