Long description:

Die frühjüdische Wundertradition wurde lange als Hintergrund der neutestamentlichen Exegese vernachlässigt. Nachdem die frühere Forschung, in der die griechischen Parallelen den größten Anteil in der Diskussion einnahmen, kritisch überprüft worden ist, unternimmt es der Autor, die jüdische Seite besser zu berücksichtigen. Erkki Koskenniemi untersucht die wichtigsten frühjüdischen Texte, in denen Personen aus dem alten Testament Wunder zugeschrieben werden. Er geht den Wundern des Mose, des Elia und des Elisa nach, erforscht aber auch die außerbiblischen Wundertaten von Abraham, David und Salomon. Der Autor analysiert die Entwicklung der traditionellen Elemente der Wundergeschichten und die theologische Absicht ihrer Verfasser. Erkki Koskenniemi analyzes the most important early Jewish texts, which attribute miracles to people mentioned in the Old Testament. He investigates the miracles of Moses, Elijah and Elisha, but also, for example, the extra-biblical deeds of men like Abraham, David and Solomon. The author looks at the development of the traditional elements of the miracle stories and the theological intentions of every writer who deals with these stories.
The Jewish tradition of miracle-workers is rich and multifaceted. There was no rule that the biblical stories should be retold as they were written. Miracles could thus be connected with different types of historiography or even, in one case, with a tragedy, which was an imitation of Aeschylus' great work. It didn't take long for the growing tradition to develop new shades and colors for the old stories: for example, the struggle with evil powers is involved in the retold stories. Several authors also hoped for the repetition of the saving miracles of the past, especially of the Exodus, God's help in the desert and the great deeds of Elijah. The investigation of this rich tradition helps us to better understand the early Jewish belief as well as the early Christian world.
