"You shall not kill" : the prohibition of killing in ancient religions and cultures / edited by J. Cornelis de Vos and Hermut Löhr with the assistance of Juliane Ta Van. Göttingen, Germany : Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2018. ©2018 1 online resource (311 pages) : illustrations. text rdacontent computer rdamedia online resource rdacarrier Journal of Ancient Judaism. Supplements, 2197-0092 ; Volume 27 Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (EBC, viewed December 15, 2017). You shall not kill" seems to be a self-evident norm, both in modernity and in antiquity. But what does this prohibition exactly mean? Does it only apply to humans or also to non-human beings? And what about indirect or unintentional killing? Is killing legitimate under certain circumstances? The prohibition of killing was most likely a prohibition of homicide, in its original context of the Decalogue (Exod 20:13 and Deut 5:17). However, as we all know, many other texts in the Bible refer to killing humans. Moreover, killing others in war or death penalty for capital crimes does not seem to be problematic in the biblical world. Sometimes God seems to be someone, for whom people should be killed for or who wants or orders others to be killed. In a few cases, it is God him/herself who appears as the one who kills. On the contrary other opinions like humans being created in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27; 9,6) making them "god like," which implicitly prohibits killing them, or the general prohibition of killing "You shall not kill" in the Decalogue, are articulated in the Bible. The central question of this volume is whether and how biblical and non-biblical killing prohibitions function as a norm in antiquity. The contributors stem from different research fields such as ancient law, Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, New Testament, ancient Judaism, ancient history, and the church fathers. The volume covers a time spanning from the Ancient Near East up to the Christian patristic era with a look forward to Martin Luther. Introduction / J.
