Does the book of Jonah publish a Jewish-particular idea?
No full textNadrabin dr Herman Schweiger kroz analizu starozavetene priče o proroku Joni govori o nepoznavanju i pogrešnom shvatanju jevrejske nauke i o netrpeljivosti drugih naroda prema narodu Izraela. Kao primer za ovu tvrdnju navodi tumačenja crkvenog oca Hijeronima koja su se odomaćila u nejevrejskom svetu. Dr Schweiger nas ukratko podseća na sadržaj priče o Joni prema kojoj mu Bog zapoveda da ide u Ninivu i objavi narodu da će biti kažnjen zbog velikih grehova i pokvarenosti. Jona se nije odazvao pozivu i pobegao je na jednu lađu. Kad je lađa isplovila podigla se žestoka bura i Jona je priznao mornarima da je buru podigao Bog zbog toga što nije poštovao njegovu zapovest. Mornari ga bacaju u more, kit proguta Jonu koji u njegovoj utrobi provodi tri dana i tri noći. Pobožno se molio pa je gospod naredio da ga kit izbaci na kopno. Bog mu ponovo šalje poziv da ide u Ninivu i objavi njegove reči. Ovaj put Jona se odazvao zapovedi, otišao u Ninivu i preneo narodu da mora da se pokaje u roku od četrdeset dana ili će Niniva biti uništena. Vladar i stanovnici Ninive poverovali su ovoj objavi, pokajali se i vratili na pravi put a Bog se smilovao i nije uništio grad i njegove žitelje. Dr Schweiger smatra da su se kroz istoriju hrišćanske vere priče iz Starog zaveta koje glorifikuju neku ličnost prenosile na priče o Hristu pa se tako i njegovo vaskrsenje poredi sa pričom o Joni. Kao primer navodi da je Jona tri dana i tri noći bio u ribljoj utrobi kao što će posle i sin čovečji tri dana i tri noći biti u grobu. U daljoj analizi dr Schweiger razmatra ulogu proroka i ishode njihovih proročanstava i zaključuje da su proroci kroz lični moralni uzor služili uspostavljanju mira, blagostanja i spasenja zajednice. Takav moralan čovek bio je i prorok Jona koji je verovao u svoje ideale i bio spreman da svoj život žrtvuje za spas čovečanstva.Senior rabbi Dr. Herman Schweiger through the analysis of the Old Testament story of the prophet Jonah speaks of ignorance and misunderstanding of Jewish science and the intolerance of other nations towards the people of Israel. As an example of this claim, he cites the interpretations of the church father Hieronymus, which took on in the non-Jewish world. Dr. Schweiger briefly reminds us of the content of the story of Jonah according to which God commands him to go to Nineveh and announces to the people that they will be punished for great sins and corruption. Jonah did not answer the call and escaped on a boat. When the ship set sail, a fierce storm arose, and Jonah confessed to the sailors that the storm had been raised by God because he disobeyed his command. The sailors throw him into the sea, the whale swallows Jonah who spends three days and three nights in his womb. He prayed devoutly so the lord ordered the whale to throw him to the land. God sends him again a summons to go to Nineveh and announce his words. This time Jonah responded to the command, went to Nineveh, and told the people that he must repent within forty days or Nineveh would be destroyed. The ruler and the inhabitants of Nineveh believed this revelation, repented, and returned to the right path, and God had mercy and did not destroy the city and its inhabitants. Dr. Schweiger believes that throughout the history of the Christian faith, Old Testament stories that glorify a person have been transferred to stories about Christ, so his resurrection is compared to the story of Jonah. As an example, he states that Jonah was in the fish's womb for three days and three nights, just as the Christ will be in the grave for three days and three nights. In further analysis, Dr. Schweiger discusses the role of prophets and the outcomes of their prophecies and concludes that prophets, through a personal moral model, served to establish peace, prosperity, and the salvation of the community. Such a moral man was also the prophet Jonah who believed in his ideals and was ready to sacrifice his life for the salvation of mankind

“The Pondering Repose of If”: Herman Melville’s Literary Exegesis
No full textThis study examines how Herman Melville’s oeuvre interacts with Old Testament (OT) wisdom literature (the Books of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes). Using recent historical findings on the rise of religious skepticism and the erosion of Biblical authority in both Europe and the United States, I read Melville as an author steeped in the theological controversies of the eighteenth-century. Specifically, I am interested in teasing out the surprising disavowals of overt religious skepticism in Melville’s writing. By tracing the so-called Solomonic wisdom tradition throughout Melville’s oeuvre, I argue that Melville had developed an epistemology of contemplation towards that body of Biblical texts. Scholarship has traditionally painted Melville as a subversive if not downright skeptical religious thinker. Most studies have produced authorial readings, using texts as forensic evidence to make assertions about the author’s psychology. Incidentally, such assessments have confirmed the narrative of Herman Melville as a grand failed author of the nineteenth century, while ignoring the ambivalent attitudes toward Biblical authority, textual history, and skepticism that emerge in Melville’s writing. The present study intervenes by re-addressing several procedural questions about Melville’s literary dealings with the Bible: How does Melville deal with the distinct topics of religion, theology, religious skepticism, and doubt? How does he think through the relationship between science and religion as well as that of personal religion and theology? I claim that Melville’s work can be read as a continuous contemplation of Biblical wisdom. His writing, I argue, deals productively rather than a destructive with the Bible, its textual history, and authority. Melville’s thinking on theological and religious subjects was not merely subversive but constructive. In mounting this argument, I contradict current scholarship that reads Melville as trying to invent a new American Bible. In contrast, I show how Melville’s philosophical forays, even when critical, are dependent on the ethics, language, and thinking of the OT.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Englis

The Most Famous Writer of the Low Countries: Herman Brusselmans Star Author and (Reluctant) Public Intellectual
No full textAbstractThe Flemish writer Herman Brusselmans is the most famous author of the Low Countries. In this article, Herman Brusselmans is analysed as a star author. First and foremost, two striking aspects of Brusselmans’s stardom are analysed: his public visibility and the cult of the private. Attention is then focused on Brusselmans’s experience of celebrity, which he - like many other star authors - thematises in his books. Doing so, he consciously places himself in the context of popular culture. On the other hand, as a result of his celebrity status he has been expected - particularly in the last few years - to assume the role of public intellectual willy-nilly, and this in turn has had consequences for his work.</jats:p
