Jewish Studies

What, how, and with whom we eat has been meaningful since antiquity. This volume offers interdisciplinary insights into ancient meal rituals, fasting, and dietary laws, and their influence today. It focuses on ethical, religious, and cultural interpretations in the context of food ethics and identity.

In the Bible, God appears visibly and audibly to particular people. This volume, a contribution to the Corpus Judaeo-Hellenisticum, considers textual witnesses to epiphanies in the Septuagint — the most important texts of Hellenistic Judaism — and the New Testament, asking: How are these experiences presented? And what patterns of influence can be traced?

How did Christian communities across time and space engage with religious others? Informed by current debates on global history, the studies in this volume cover Eastern and Western Christian traditions stretching from the second to the twentieth century and portray Christianity as a fluid, relational, and globally entangled religion.
