Abstract:
120 years after the discovery of the first Hebrew manuscripts from the Cairo Genizah, it is time to identify the central theological and philosophical ideas of the book of Ben Sira. Its methods of argumentation, literary treatment of themes. and type of poetry can be better understood against the background of such ideas. Many parts of Ben Sira are not preserved in Hebrew, but such an ideological analysis will make it possible to reconstruct the Hebrew underlying the Greek and Syriac versions, thus revealing a Vorlage that is closer to the thinking of Ben Sira.
