Die aramaische Rezeption der Hebraischen Bibel : Studien zur Targumik und Apokalyptik. Gesammelte Aufsatze Band 4

Around the turn of the day, Aramaic was the colloquial language in Palestine, which certainly also applies to Jesus and his disciples. This made a translation (= Targum) of the Hebrew Bible necessary. This reception sets accents that are often alien to the original Hebrew text, but appear similarly in the New Testament use of scripture. The essays turn to significant examples regarding the meaning and effectiveness of the Messiah, but also the future of the Kingdom of God and other motifs that are reminiscent of apocalyptic themes.
