Overview

In 4QInstruction: Divisions and Hierarchies, Benjamin Wold challenges the interpretation of 4QInstruction as a deterministic and dualistic composition. In a re-examination of key fragments he offers new reconstructions and translations that indicate 4QInstruction envisaged wisdom available to all humanity, divisions among humankind and communities as the result of individual adherence to wisdom, and a hierarchy of authority as a result of individual merit.

Reviews

Wold hat eine erfrischende, anregende und dabei sehr sorgfaltig argumentierte Studie vorgelegt, deren Thesen man eine entsprechende Verbreitung wunscht... In jedem Falle illustriert das Werk gewinnbringend die grosse Bedeutung der Weisheit fur das Verstandnis der Schriften und den theologischen Ort der Qumrangemeinschaft. Peter Porzig, Zeitschrift fur die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, 2019 Di proficua lettura per chi desideri approfondire l'antropologia dell'antico Israele, la ridefinizione di Israele tra le nazioni, o si interessi alla prima recezione di taluni scritti della Bibbia ebraica. Marco Settembrini, Gregorianum, 2019
