Remembering and Forgetting in Early Second Temple Judah
edited by Ehud Ben Zvi and Christoph Levin
This volume collects revised versions of essays from a 2011 workshop held in Munich on Remembering and Forgetting in Early Second Temple Judah . The authors of the essays address these issues from both general methodological perspectives and through case studies emerging out or associated with a wide range of texts from the prophetic literature, the Pentateuch, the historical books, Psalms and Lamentations. All these texts share one main feature: they shape memories of the past (or future) and involve forgetting. Contributors: Bob Becking, Ehud Ben Zvi, Kare Berge, Diana Edelman, Christina Ehring, Judith Gartner, Friedhelm Hartenstein, Michael Hundley, Jorg Jeremias, Sonya Kostamo, Francis Landy, Christoph Levin, James Linville, Zhenhua Meng, Bill Morrow, Reinhard Muller, Urmas Nommik, Juha Pakkala, Hermann-Josef Stipp
