1 RHS 602 Graduate Biblical Seminar Love your neighbor! Old Testament Ethics and Law, Fall 2017 / LSTC Klaus-Peter Adam Rationale for the course Why is the biblical command Love your neighbor! (Lev 19:18b) one of the best known ethical sentences in Judaism and Christianity? What is the meaning of love and its opposite hate? Is it adequate to render the Hebrew and Greek terms generally rendered as hate instead as mutual malevolence and the term love rather as mutual benevolence? This course introduces to the concept of private enmity and private hate in Ancient Israel by ways of comparison with other kinship based societies. A legal anthropological comparative perspective demonstrates what conflict settlement meant and demonstrates concept of kinship-feud in various societies; ranging from the Ancient world to the modern Mediterranean, and to contemporary forms of feuding structures; for instance, in sub-legal forms of conflict settlement among members of gangs in US urban culture. In the biblical field the course introduces to the major law collections as well as to their concepts of private conflict settlement. The course will cover various fields of biblical and Ancient Near Eastern law, mainly about homicide law, injury, as well as marriage law. It defines hallmarks of the legal meaning of hate and of love in the Covenant Code, the Deuteronomic Law, the Priestly law as well as in the Holiness Code. It includes reflections on gender-specific aspects of these laws, namely marriage law. It considers selected situations of oppression of individuals as mirrored in the Psalms and it reflects on the social realities of conflict settlement from the perspective of Proverbs. The actualization of the theme in judgment prophecy, for instance, in the oracle against the city of bloodshed in Ezekiel 22:6-12 and the command to love your neighbor in a series of prohibitives in Leviticus 19 round off the array of biblical material that the course covers. Finally, it considers how perspectives on conflict settlement are relevant for an understanding of the New Testament as well as an understanding of private hate and enmity and love in the Jewish and Christian ethics in a contemporary society. This course is one in a sequence of 6 (Th.M.) or 12 (Ph.D.) that introduces students to the details of the literary genres, to the development of the tradition and to the interpretation of the books of the Old Testament. Students will become familiar with the resources and the scholarship of the legal material and of ethics in the Hebrew Bible. In this course students will enhance their abilities to formulate productive questions about biblical and about Christian ethics and to engage in critical scholarly discussions. This course will enable them to pursue scholarly research about the themes of conflict settlement, hate and love as forms of behavior. 1
2 It will also introduce to legal corpora and to the ethos of the Old Testament. Students will be able to integrate the themes of this course with their overall competence in biblical studies, in theology as well as in other academic disciplines. This course in the curriculum of Th.M. and Ph.D. also intends to enable the participants to teach a section on law and ethics in an introductory college course in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible.
