Biografie Und Lebensalter: Zur Materialen, Soziologischen Und Theologischen Verfasstheit Biografischer Bezuge

Anthropology becomes manifest when it comes to biography and age. Thus, it is not surprising that questions of concrete lifestyles, their material and social foundations as well as biography are intensively discussed not only in the Old Testament but also in Ancient Oriental Studies and Egyptology. In addition to one Egyptological and one Hittitological example each, this volume brings together Old Testament contributions on legal anthropology, ethics and selected literary areas of the Old Testament, including Ben Sirach, in which aspects of biography and age are presented with their references to the material, social and theological constitution of human.
