English summary: Joachim Schaper presents a history of the post-exilic Judaean priesthood that is characterized by its openness for innovative approaches and its inter-disciplinary outlook. It situates priests and Levites in their cultural and social world in the Judah of the Persian period. Joachim Schaper applies insights won by historians and sociologists to a crucial aspect of the history of post-exilic Judah; his approach is inspired by the works of scholars such as Max Weber and Marc Bloch. German description: Die Perserzeit wird zunehmend als einer der bedeutendsten Abschnitte der israelitisch-judischen Geschichte entdeckt. Das geschieht sowohl im Hinblick auf die institutionengeschichtliche Entwicklung in Juda und Jerusalem als auch hinsichtlich neuer theologischer Konzepte und Entwicklungen der Literaturproduktion dieser Gegend. Joachim Schaper liefert einen Beitrag zur Erforschung des perserzeitlichen Juda. Er wendet sich dabei gegen die bisher ubliche Beschrankung auf rein traditionsgeschichtliche Fragestellungen und geht statt dessen konsequent historisch vor. Er rekonstruiert die Lebenswelt der Priester und Leviten jener Zeit. Dabei stellt er neue Fragen und bringt religions-, sozial- und wirtschaftsgeschichtliche Positionen miteinander ins Gesprach. Dieses Vorgehen ermoglicht ein vertieftes Verstandnis der Geschichte des nachexilischen Priestertums in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt. Joachim Schaper greift vor allem die Fragestellungen und Methoden Albrecht Alts, Marc Blochs und Max Webers auf, die fur die weitere Erforschung der Geschichte Israels richtungweisend sind.

Joachim Schaper, ist Professor in Hebrew, Old Testament and Early Jewish Studies an der University of Aberdeen, UK.
