Dear readers,                                                                                                ANCIENT NEAR EAST / CLASSICAL ANTIQUITIY

Religions can be understood as systems that make meaning of the world. In our
globalized societies, they are coming into ever closer contact and more exchange                             2
with each other. Some new projects on interreligious dialogue mirror this
development (p. 59).                                                                                         OLD TESTAMENT / DEUTEROCANONICAL LITERATURE
Two key areas of focus that we continue to develop are (Christian) theology and                              ALTES TESTAMENT/DEUTEROKANONISCHE SCHRIFTEN

biblical studies. The latter, for instance, we are strengthening with the new series                         7
Manuscripta Biblica, which explores the “paratexts” of Bible manuscripts (p. 19).
Likewise, we are excited about the growth of our programs in Jewish studies                                  NEW TESTAMENT
and Islamic studies (p. 51ff.), coordinated by our Senior Acquisitions Editor,                               NEUES TESTAMENT
Dr. Sophie Wagenhofer.                                                                                       15
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Friedrich Schleiermacher’s birthday,
we will complete the third section (15 volumes) of the Kritische Gesamtausgabe                               CHURCH HISTORY

Religionen können als Sinnstiftungssysteme verstanden werden. In unserer                                     40
globalisierten Welt treten sie immer stärker in Austausch. Dies spiegelt sich auch
in einigen neuen Projekten zum interreligiösen Dialog (S. 59).                                               JEWISH STUDIES

The manuscripts from Qumran and other sites
offer unique insight into the Hebrew and Aramaic
languages during the period of the Second Temple.
For the first time, in the tradition of classical
lexicology, this philological dictionary develops a
non-Biblical lexicon from these sources (plus the
Dead Sea scrolls and Cairo Geniza manuscripts),
while also placing it in the context of the history of
the Hebraic and Aramaic languages.
