Die vorliegende Studie untersucht mithilfe einer Adaption Ruben Zimmermanns Modells zur Analyse der impliziten Ethik des Neuen Testaments neutestamentliche Tugendkataloge hinsichtlich ihrer friedenstiftenden Intention. Dabei zeigt sich, dass Frieden nicht nur ganz allgemein ein zentrales Thema des Neuen Testaments ist, sondern dass und inwiefern sich dies auch in den neutestamentlichen Tugendkatalogen widerspiegelt. Es wird herausgearbeitet, wie neutestamentliche Tugendkataloge zum Frieden-Tun aufrufen – und zwar sowohl mit Blick auf den Binnenraum der Gemeinde als auch darüber hinaus. Frieden begegnet in den neutestamentlichen Tugendkatalogen als soziales Miteinander und als christologische bzw. theologische Begründung anderer, sozialer Tugenden. Die Arbeit geht durch die systematische Untersuchung neutestamentlicher Tugendkataloge eine langjährige Forschungslücke an und behandelt zudem das aktuell sehr präsente Thema Frieden.
Using an adaptation of Ruben Zimmermann's model for analyzing the implicit ethics of the New Testament, the present study examines New Testament catalogs of virtues with regard to their peacemaking intention. This shows that peace is not only a central theme of the New Testament in general, but that and to what extent this is also reflected in the New Testament catalogs of virtues. It is highlighted how New Testament catalogs of virtues call for peace-making - both with a view to the internal space of the community and beyond. Peace is encountered in the New Testament catalogs of virtues as social coexistence and as a Christological or theological justification of other social virtues. The work addresses a long-standing research gap through the systematic examination of New Testament catalogs of virtues and also deals with the currently very present topic of peace.

The articles in this volume offer an interdisciplinary analysis of the Oracles against the Nations in the Book of Jeremiah, exploring their literary, historical, and theological significance. Bringing together leading international scholars, it integrates biblical exegesis with archaeological and historical research, shedding new light on the political and cultural contexts of these prophetic texts. The book challenges both traditional views (OAN as an irrelevant appendix) as well as modern biases (OAN as Schadenfreude-literature) by demonstrating how these oracles are not mere additions but essential to the prophetic message of Jeremiah. With a strong focus on the historical rooting of the oracles, it provides fresh insights into the complex dynamics between Israel and its neighbouring nations. A key resource for scholars of biblical studies, ancient history, and theology.

The contributors to this volume investigate the portrayal of Israels and Judahs relations with neighboring groups in the books of Samuel (including the Philistines, Amalekites, Edomites, Arameans, and Gibeonites) from both literary and historical perspectives. In doing so, they bring together multiple methodological approaches to the topic, including analyses of the structure, ideological content, and compositional development of the narrative depictions of Israels and Judahs neighbors in the books of Samuel as well as syntheses of the current archaeological and historical data relevant to the interpretation of the biblical texts under investigation.Survey of contentsBenedikt Hensel/Stephen Germany: Introduction – Aren Maeir: On Defining Israel: Or, Lets do the Kulturkreislehre Again! – Hannes Bezzel : Who are the Philistines in the Books of Samuel? – Ann E.
