Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: Based on the story of the vow taken in Judges 11:29-40, Michaela Bauks studies the phenomenon of child sacrifice in the Ancient Near East and in the Old Testament. After a detailed analysis of the text composition of Judges 11 and an examination of the redaction history, the author deals with the evidence of child sacrifices in the history of religion in the Mediterranean area during the first century BC and then studies the reception history using several pertinent documents (Septuagint, Targum, Josephus, Pseudo-Philo, the New Testament as well as other documents on Judges 11, mainly in the early church) as well as the significant intertext in Genesis 22. In addition to historical issues, the author also explores the intention and the function of the talk of child sacrifices in detail. The various literary, theological and material facets of the subject are given equal treatment and evaluated in favor of the Judges narrative. German description: Ausgehend von der Opfergelubde-Erzahlung in Ri 11,29-40 untersucht Michaela Bauks das Phanomen des Kinderopfers im Alten Orient und im Alten Testament. Nach eingehender Analyse der Textkomposition von Ri 11 und Erwagungen zur Redaktionsgeschichte wendet sie sich den religionsgeschichtlichen Belegen fur Kinderopfer im mediterranen Kulturkreis des 1. Jahrtausend v. Chr. zu und untersucht im Anschluss daran die Rezeptionsgeschichte anhand einiger einschlagiger Belege (bes. LXX, Targum, Josephus, Pseudo-Philo, NT sowie Rekurse auf Ri 11 vorwiegend in der Alten Kirche) bei zusatzlicher Berucksichtigung des wichtigen Intertexts in Gen 22. Neben den historischen Fragestellungen widmet sich die Autorin zudem ausfuhrlich der Frage nach der Intention und Funktion der Rede vom Kinderopfer. Die verschiedenen Facetten des Themas in literarischer, theologischer und materieller Hinsicht werden gleichberechtigt nebeneinander gestellt und zu Gunsten der Interpretation der Richtererzahlung ausgewertet.
