Turning Proverbs towards Torah : an analysis of 4Q525 /
:
In Turning Proverbs towards Torah , Elisa Uusimäki offers the first monograph on the early Jewish wisdom text 4Q525 from Qumran. Following the reconstruction of the fragmentary manuscript, Uusimäki analyses the text with a focus on the reception and renewal of the Proverbs tradition and the ways in which 4Q525 illustrates aspects of Jewish pedagogy in the late Second Temple period. She argues that the author was inspired by Proverbs 1-9 but sought to demonstrate that true wisdom is found in the concept of torah. He also weaved dualistic elements and eschatological ideas into the wisdom frame. The author's intention, Uusimäki argues, is to form the audience spiritually, encouraging it to trust in divine protection and blessings that are bestowed upon the pious.

Maximus I. von Turin : die Verkündigung eines Bischofs der frühen Reichskirche im zeitgeschichtlichen, gesellschaftlichen und liturgischen Kontext /
:
This volume deals with the sermons of St. Maximus I, Bishop of Turin about AD 305-420. It presents an exemplary study which, besides clarifying problems of dating and authorship, points out the importance of context for an appropriate interpretation of sermon literature. The sermons are thus placed in the contexts of contemporary history, of society and of liturgy. The liturgical contextualisation forms the core of the book. The author reconstructs the liturgical year of late-Antique Turin and takes it as the basis of a detailed diachronic analysis of the bishop's preaching from advent to pentecost. Additionally, the Feasts of the Saints are seen in their kerygmatic function. In a concluding chapter the author tackles such problems as the exegetical nature of preaching and the importance of the Bible.

Iconic Turn in den christlichen Konfessionen : Erkundungen und Perspektiven /
:
Der Umgang mit Bildlichkeit gehört seit jeher zum Christentum. Dabei oszilliert der unterschiedliche Umgang mit Bildern in den christlichen Konfessionen zwischen Ablehnung und Zustimmung und konnte so zu einem identitätsstiftenden Merkmal werden. Mit Aufkommen der Bilderflut in der Spätmoderne und dem "Iconic Turn" als Neuorientierung in den Kulturwissenschaften ist zu beleuchten, welche Konsequenzen diese Zusammenhänge für die christlichen Konfessionen heute bedeuten. Der Band bringt kulturwissenschaftliche, philosophische und theologische Perspektiven unterschiedlicher Konfessionen zusammen. Er dokumentiert damit die erste Tagung eines neu gegründeten Forschungsnetzwerkes, das auf europäischer Ebene ökumenisch und interdisziplinär zur Frage der Bildlichkeit und des "Iconic Turn" forscht.

Aristotle's ever-turning world, in Physics 8 : analysis and commentary /
:
In Aristotle's Ever-turning World in Physics 8 Dougal Blyth analyses, passage by passage, Aristotle's reasoning in his explanation of cosmic movement, and provides a detailed evaluation of ancient and modern commentary on this centrally influential text in the history of ancient and medieval philosophy and science. In Physics 8 Aristotle argues for the everlastingness of the world, and explains this as deriving from a single first moved body, the sphere of the stars whose rotation around the earth is caused by an immaterial prime mover. Blyth's explanation of Aristotle's individual arguments, techniques of reasoning and overall strategy in Physics 8 aims to bring understanding of his method, doctrines and achievements in natural philosophy to a new level of clarity.
