    Biblical seductresses. (2021)

    Angaben zur Quelle: 30,2 (2022) 171-196
    Keywords: Bible Feminist criticism ; Femmes fatales in the Bible ; Women Biblical teaching
    Abstract: Within the texts of the Bible, there are seductresses who are portrayed as resisting the patriarchal values of biblical society by employing their feminine wiles to manipulate powerful males. These women sacrifice their own virtue by taking initiative in sexually daring acts and subordinating their victim of seduction to further their pursuits. Numerous female biblical figures are praised after utilizing their feminine weapons to achieve their ends; however, these seducers, some of whom are married, engage in questionable means. Since the Bible does not render an explicit evaluation, I aim to investigate such seductive behavior in an effort to assess the conduct of biblical seductresses and illuminate the role of women depicted in the Bible. A close reading of the texts and an examination of rabbinic interpretations of episodes in which Lot’s daughters, Tamar, Jael, Ruth and Esther each perform seductive acts can be used as a resource to further support contemporary feminist readings which justify biblical female characters’ use of morally dubious means to accomplish noble aims.

    Protesting God in Jewish Interpretations of Job. (2022)
    In:  The Protests of Job (2022) 11-30

    Keywords: Job ; Bible. Theology ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc., Jewish ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc., Christian ; God Righteousness ; Biblical teaching ; Suffering Biblical teaching ; Theodicy Biblical teaching
    Abstract: Characterized as upright and God-fearing, Job is afflicted with devastating losses and suffering, even though no sins are attributed to him to warrant his hardships. Job protests his unfair treatment and charges God with wrongdoing as he hopes for vindication through accusation. But, how are such challenges to divine justice understood from a Jewish theological perspective? Are Job’s contentions against his Creator justified or do they constitute brazen iniquities? This analysis explores the pro-protest and anti-protest traditions within rabbinic literature in an effort to explicate the ambiguous biblical text and examine Judaism’s attitude towards diverse responses to the suffering of the righteous.
    Abstract: The author replies to the essays by Weiss and Rizvi, with special attention to the relationship between complaint and trust.
    Abstract: In this response to my colleagues’ chapters, I try to draw together some commonalities of theme in the notion of love and protest. I suggest some future directions in which we can reflect together theologically and philosophically on the common problems and challenges in Abrahamic theism.

    Paradise and the Fall. (2021)
    In:  Maimonides' "Guide of the Perplexed" (2021) 51-59

    Titel der Quelle: Maimonides' "Guide of the Perplexed"
    Angaben zur Quelle: (2021) 51-59
    Keywords: Maimonides, Moses, ; Bible Philosophy ; History ; Bible. Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; Paradise Judaism
    Abstract: In the Guide of the Perplexed Maimonides offers innovative readings of biblical terms and narratives through which he reveals his philosophy. Since he does not compose a comprehensive commentary on the Bible, Maimonides includes biblical exegesis throughout his philosophic work by explaining philosophic issues within the biblical text, in an effort to resolve seeming contradictions between philosophy and a literal understanding of the Bible. In the Introduction to the Guide, Maimonides presents his dual objective: to explain obscure biblical terms and parables, or verses and passages that have an external (literal, conventional) and an internal (philosophic) meaning. Maimonides maintains that the Bible has an esoteric level of philosophic truth, accessible to the intellectually qualified, which he discusses in his Guide for the discernment of those capable of understanding. Influenced by Al-Farabi, Maimonides argues that religion defers to philosophy and the Bible presents educational myths in which images represent philosophical truths for the masses. According to Sara Klein-Braslavy, Maimonides views the Garden of Eden narrative as such a myth reflecting “philosophic anthropology rather than historical narrative.” In his discussion of the episode in the Garden of Eden, Maimonides explores the human condition before and after the transgression and fulfills both objectives of his philosophic work by explaining an equivocal term and the figurative meaning of the sin and sinners in the parable – an explanation that is critical for a correct philosophical understanding of the challenging narrative.

    Ineffability, asymmetry and the metaphysical revolt : some reflections on the narrative of Job from Muslim traditions. (2022)
    In:  The Protests of Job (2022) 51-81

    Titel der Quelle: The Protests of Job
    Angaben zur Quelle: (2022) 51-81
    Keywords: Job Islamic interpretations ; Bible. Islamic interpretations ; Qurʼan Criticism, interpretation, etc. ; God Righteousness ; History of doctrines ; Suffering Religious aspects ; Islam ; Sufism ; Ambiguity in the Bible
    Abstract: This chapter argues that while the scriptural and exegetical traditions in Islam treat the case of Job as one of the trials and patience of the suffering friend of God who passively submits, some of the mystical and philosophical traditions take the discussion beyond theodicy. On the one hand, I present the systematic ambiguity of being present in monistic approaches to reality as one response to difference, evil, and suffering, and on the other hand I show how some philosophical approaches attempt a resolution through the essential erotic nature of the cosmos. But perhaps most important is the suggestion that casts Job as the hero of a metaphysical revolt against God that is the true sign of a friend of God.
    Abstract: Weiss addresses questions regarding disinterested love and the ineffability of God raised by Davison and Rizvi, in their respective discussions. Through an analysis of the exposition of Job in Guide of the Perplexed, Weiss examines Maimonides’ interpretation of Job’s intellectual journey which challenges him to recognize the ineffability of God, as well as the incomprehensibility of divine providence, and promotes his disinterested righteousness that transcends the fear of retribution and the desire for reward.
    Abstract: The author replies to the essays by Weiss and Rizvi, with special attention to the relationship between complaint and trust.
