This volume compiles 17 articles by the late Jewish scholar Günter Mayer (1936-2004) and his life-long collaborator, the Tübingen New Testament scholar Michael Tilly. Thematically wide-ranging in the fields of Hellenistic and Rabbinical Judaism, the papers explore biblical history, the socialization and education of children, ancient funerary practices, and the reception history of biblical prophetic texts.
