"A reconstruction of the emergence of the Israelite monarchies involves interpreting historical research, approaching questions of ancient state formation, synthesizing archaeological research from sites in the central Canaanite hill country, and reexamining the biblical traditions of the early monarchy embedded in the books of Samuel and Kings. This collection of essays blends textual exegesis with archaeological perspectives on Saul and Benjamin in order to reconstruct the rise of early monarchy in Israel and the way it was commemorated in the biblical narrative"--

Das 40-jährige Jubiläum des Studienprogramms "Studium in Israel" war Anlass für einen Blick auf Stand und künftige Perspektiven des christlich-jüdischen Dialogs und auf die Forschung zur rabbinischen Literatur. Das erste Thema stand bei der Jubiläumsjahrestagung im Januar 2018 in Hannover auf dem Programm, das letztgenannte auf einer Konferenz an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem im Juni desselben Jahres. Der vorliegende Band führt zentrale Vorträge beider Tagungen zusammen und ergänzt sie um einige weitere Beiträge. Mit seinen beiden Brennpunkten – dem christlich-jüdischen Dialog und der rabbinischen Literatur – bildet er gewissermaßen die Grundbewegung des Programms "Studium in Israel" ab: Christinnen und Christen suchen das Gespräch mit Jüdinnen und Juden und stoßen dabei auch auf die jüdische Traditionsliteratur, ihre Bedeutung für ein wirkliches Verstehen des Gegenübers und den Reichtum, der in ihr für die christliche Theologie liegt. [Dialogical Theology. Contributions to Jewish-Christian Dialogue and the Relevance of Rabbinic Literature] The 40th anniversary of the study program "Studium in Israel" was the occasion to take a look at Jewish-Christian dialogue and at research in Rabbinic literature asking for the situation today and for future perspectives. The first theme was central at the annual conference of "Studium in Israel" in Hannover in January 2018, the second theme at a conference at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, June 2018. This volume collects the papers of both conferences and adds some more papers on the themes mentioned. With its two foci – Jewish-Christian dialogue and Rabbinic literature – it reproduces the central movement of the study program "Studium in Israel": Christians enter into dialogue with Jews and get into contact with traditional Jewish literature, its relevance for a deeper understanding of the partner in dialogue and its richness for Christian theology.

Ponder questions of the united monarchy under Saul and David in light of current historical and archaeological evidence Reconstructing the emergence of the Israelite monarchy involves interpreting historical research, approaching questions of ancient state formation, synthesizing archaeological research from sites in the southern Levant, and reexamining the biblical traditions of the early monarchy embedded in the books of Samuel and Kings. Integrating these approaches allows for a nuanced and differentiated picture of one of the most crucial periods in the history of ancient Israel. Rather than attempting to harmonize archaeological data and biblical texts or to supplement the respective approach by integrating only a portion of data stemming from the other, both perspectives come into their own in this volume presenting the results of an interdisciplinary Tübingen–Tel Aviv Research Colloquium. Features: Essays on Israel's monarchy by experts in biblical archaeology and biblical studies Methods for integrating archaeology and biblical traditions in reconstructing ancient Israel's history New research on the sociopolitical process of state formation in Israel and Judah
