Jewish cultural encounters in the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern world /
:
The essays in this volume originate from the Third Qumran Institute Symposium held at the University of Groningen, December 2013. Taking the flexible concept of "cultural encounter" as a starting point, the essays in this volume bring together a panoply of approaches to the study of various cultural interactions between the people of ancient Israel, Judea, and Palestine and people from other parts of the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern world. In order to study how cultural encounters shaped historical development, literary traditions, religious practice and political systems, the contributors employ a broad spectrum of theoretical positions (e.g., hybridity, métissage, frontier studies, postcolonialism, entangled histories and multilingualism), to interpret a diverse set of literary, documentary, archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic, and iconographic sources.

New faith in ancient lands : Western missions in the Middle East in the nineteenth and early twentienth [i.e. twentieth] centuries /
:
Over the centuries, the Middle East has held an important place in the religious consciousness of many Christians in West and East. In the nineteenth century, these interests culminated in extensive missionary work of Protestant and Roman Catholic organisations, among Eastern Christians, Muslims and Jews. The present volume, in articles written by an international group of scholars, discusses themes like the historical background of Christian geopiety among Roman Catholics and Protestants, and the internal tensions and conflicting aims of missions and missionaries, such as between nationalist and internationalist interests, between various rival organisations and between conversionalist and civilizational aims of missions in the Ottoman Empire. In a synthetic overview and a comprehensive bibliography an up-to-date introduction into this field is provided.

Athribis (Atripe) im Kontext : die Stadt und der Tempel als religiöses und kulturelles Zentrum von der ptolemäischen Zeit bis zum Hochmittelalter : Akten der internationalen Tagung...
:
The last unexcavated stone sanctuary from the Greco-Roman period, the Temple of Athribis near Sohag in Middle Egypt, remained partially buried until the beginning of this century. The focus of the Athribis (Atripe) conference in context, held from June 7th to 9th, 2022 in Tubingen, was the large number of research results already achieved from different disciplines as well as future research strands. The associated conference proceedings, edited by Marcus Muller and Carolina Teotino-Tattko, are dedicated to these results and cover a wide range of topics in 19 contributions based on archaeological, philological, technical and religious-historical approaches. The investigations deal with the excavated temple rooms, inscriptions and the recovered individual finds and place them in the regional and supra-regional context. Studies of architecture, art history and various groups of materials from the material remains provide a great variety of insights into the construction of the temple, its chronology and ultimately the everyday lives of the residents at the time. The sanctuary in Athribis is a veritable witness to its multi-faceted fate, which can be felt not only in its rooms, walls and ceilings, but also in the archaeological findings and findings.
