Reviews
'Die Aufsätze Bickermans bedürfen keiner Empfehlung. B. gehört zu den herausragenden Althistorikern des vergangenen Jh.s.Viele seiner Arbeiten aus dem engeren Bereich des hellenistischen Judentums und der Geschichte des frühen Christentums sind Klassiker geworden. Werke also, die selbst bedeutsam bleiben, wenn Einzelheiten heute anders gesehen werden. B. überblickt nicht nur die Literatur der klassischen Antike, epigraphische und papyrologische Zeugnisse, seine Verweise auf die Auslegungsgeschichte sammeln Ergebnisse des rabbinischen Judentums, des gelehrten Abendlandes von den Kirchenvätern bis zu den aktuellen Forschungen aus B.s Zeit und stellen sie unprätentiös und sachlich gegliedert vor... B.s Studien liegen nun zum zweiten Mal gesammelt vor...Alle Aufsätze sind Tiefbohrungen, die in einschlägigen Studien und Handbüchern verhandelt werden. Wer auf einen Aufsatz gestoßen ist, wird im Sammelband zum Weiterlesen verführt...Die Werke B.s werden auch in Jahrzehnten noch wichtig bleiben.'
