Der vorliegende Band diskutiert unterschiedliche Konzepte von Familie und Verwandtschaft im Kontext deuterokanonischer Literatur. Neben einer Analyse des Begriffs der Familie im engeren Wortsinn untersuchen die einzelnen Beiträge Vorstellungen von Moral, Respekt und Liebe und nehmen zudem Repräsentationen von gender, Macht und sozialen Normen in Judentum und dem frühen Christentum kritisch in den Blick.

This volume discusses various conceptions of family and kinship in the context of deuterocanonical literature. After analyzing the topic family in a narrow sense of the term, the articles investigate general ideas of morality, respect, or love and take a critical look at representations of gender, power, and social norms in Judaism and Early Christianity.
