Martin Hengels ‘Zeloten’
Ihre Bedeutung im Licht von funfzig Jahren Forschungsgeschichte
foreword by Roland Deines, edited by Hermann Lichtenberger
English summary: Martin Hengels The Zealots , published originally in 1961, is after over 50 years still the most important study of the Jewish revolts in the 1st century AD. Hengel emphasizes the radical-religious background of the Jewish opposition to Rome. In commemoration of the 85th birthday of Martin Hengel, who died in 2009, and to mark the new edition of the Zealots in 2011, a symposium was held to acknowledge the history of reception and the continuing significance of Hengels first work. The authors deal with subjects such as God’s zeal and the zeal of his protagonists, the prototypes of zeal in the Old Testament and early Judaism, Elijah and Phineas, as well as the relationship between the Jesus tradition and the Zealots. The boycott of Roman coins demonstrates the fervent zeal of the Zealots. The last contribution investigates the religious perception of Jews and Judaism in Martin Hengels works and the extraordinary significance of Hengels Zealots for the history of Ancient Judaism. German description: Martin Hengels Die Zeloten von 1961 stellt auch nach uber 50 Jahren die wichtigste Untersuchung zu den judischen Aufstandsbewegungen des 1. Jahrhunderts n.Chr. dar. Hengel betont dabei den radikal-religiosen Charakter des Widerstands gegen Rom. Anlasslich des 85. Geburtstags von Martin Hengel, der 2009 verstorben ist, und der Neuauflage der Zeloten 2011 wurden in einem Symposion die Wirkungsgeschichte und die fortdauernde Bedeutung von Hengels Erstlingswerk gewurdigt. Aspekte dieser Reflexion sind Themen wie Gottes Eifer und der Eifer seiner Vorkampfer, die Prototypen des Eifers im Alten Testament und Fruhjudentum Elija und Pinhas sowie das Verhaltnis zwischen der Jesusuberlieferung und den Zeloten. Ausserdem werden der Boykott romischer Munzen und die religiose Wahrnehmung von Juden und Judentum im Lebenswerk Martin Hengels thematisiert. Die forschungsgeschichtlich aussergewohnliche Bedeutung von Hengels Zeloten wird im Geleitwort gewurdigt.
