Paperback. Condition: New. Did the ancient Israelites perform rituals expressive of the belief in the supernaturalbeneficent power of the dead? Contrary to long held notions of primitive society and the euhemeristic origin of the divine, various factors indicate that the ancestor cult, that is, ancestor veneration or worship, was not observed in the Iron Age Levant. The Israelites did not adopt an ancient Canaanite ancestor cult that became the object of biblical scorn. Yet, a variety of mortuary rituals and cults were performed in Levantine society; mourning and funerary rites and longer-term rituals such as the care for the dead and commemoration. Rituals and monuments in or at burial sites, and especially the recitation of the deceased's name, recounted the dead's lived lives for familial survivors. They served broader social functions as well; e.g., to legitimate primogeniture and to reinforce a community's social collectivity. Another ritual complex from the domain of divination, namely necromancy, might have expressed the Israelite dead's beneficent powers. Yet, was this power to reveal knowledge that of the dead or was it a power conveyed through the dead, but that remained attributable to another supranatural being of non-human origin? Contemporary Assyrian necromancers utilized the ghost as a conduit through which divine knowledge was revealed to ascertain the future and so Judah's king Manasseh, a loyal Assyrian vassal, emulated these new Assyrian imperial forms of prognostication. As a de-legitimating rhetorical strategy, necromancy was then integrated into biblical traditions about the more distant past and attributed fictive Canaanite origins (Deut 18). In its final literary setting, necromancy was depicted as the Achille's heel of the nation's first royal dynasty, that of the Saulides (1 Sam 28), and more tellingly, its second, that of the Davidides (2 Kgs 21:6; 23:24). …

Condition: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear. Ancestor Cult and Necromancy in Ancient Israelite Religion and Tradition. Die englischsprachige Studie analysiert, inwiefern die Streitigkeiten unter den Israeliten über die Rolle der wohltätigen Toten theologische Veränderungen reflektieren, die durch die mesopotamische Vorherrschaft in Palästina hervorgerufen wurden. Der Glaube an die wohltätigen Toten bot einen alternativen Weg zur göttlichen Ermächtigung. Er hat erst mit der Herrschaft König Manassehs Eingang in die Religion Judas gefunden und erhielt einzig in der Nekromantie (eine mesopotamische Form der Totengeister-Beschwörung) religiösen Ausdruck. Da in der nekromantischen Praxis die Welten der Toten, der Lebenden und der chthonischen Götter konvergieren, wurde diese in den biblischen Traditionen als rituelle Verunreinigung bewertet. Aus rhetorischer Sicht hat die Nekromantie ihren Ursprung in Kanaan, wurde von Mose verurteilt und schließlich als die Achilles-Ferse der ersten Monarchie beschrieben. - Haben die alten Israeliten Rituale durchgeführt, die den Glauben an die übernatürliche, wohltuende Macht der Toten zum Ausdruck brachten? Entgegen lang gehegten Vorstellungen von einer primitiven Gesellschaft und dem euhemeristischen Ursprung des Göttlichen deuten verschiedene Faktoren darauf hin, dass der Ahnenkult, also die Verehrung oder Anbetung der Vorfahren, in der Eisenzeit im Levante nicht praktiziert wurde. Die Israeliten übernahmen keinen alten kanaanitischen Ahnenkult, der zum Gegenstand biblischer Verachtung wurde. Dennoch wurden in der levantinischen Gesellschaft eine Vielzahl von Totenritualen und -kulten durchgeführt; Trauer- und Begräbnisriten und längerfristige Rituale wie die Pflege der Toten und das Gedenken. Rituale und Denkmäler in oder an Grabstätten und insbesondere das Rezitieren des Namens des Verstorbenen erzählten den Hinterbliebenen das Leben des Toten. Sie erfüllten auch breitere soziale Funktionen; z. B. um das Erstgeburtsrecht zu legitimieren und die soziale Gemeinschaft einer Gemeinschaft zu stärken. Ein weiterer Ritualkomplex aus dem Bereich der Wahrsagerei, nämlich die Nekromantie, könnte die wohltätigen Kräfte der Toten in Israel zum Ausdruck gebracht haben. Doch war diese Macht, Wissen zu offenbaren, die der Toten oder wurde sie durch die Toten übertragen, blieb aber einem anderen übernatürlichen Wesen nichtmenschlichen Ursprungs zuzuschreiben? Zeitgenössische assyrische Nekromanten nutzten den Geist als Kanal, durch den göttliches Wissen offenbart wurde, um die Zukunft vorherzusagen, und so ahmte Judas König Manasse, ein loyaler assyrischer Vasall, diese neuen assyrischen imperialen Formen der Vorhersage nach. Als rhetorische Strategie zur Delegitimierung wurde die Nekromantie dann in biblische Traditionen über die fernere Vergangenheit integriert und fiktiven kanaanitischen Ursprüngen zugeschrieben (Deut 18). In ihrer letzten literarischen Ausgestaltung wurde die Nekromantie als Achillesferse der ersten Königsdynastie des Landes, der der Sauliden (1 Sam 28), und, noch bezeichnender, der zweiten Dynastie, der Davididen (2 Könige 21:6; 23:24), dargestellt.
