The papers contained in this volume were presented at a conference on Creative Biblical Exegesis, which took place on 16th and 17th December 1985 at Tel-Aviv University under the joint auspices of the Rosenberg School for Jewish Studies, the Department of Bible, Tel-Aviv University, the Evangelisch-Theologische and the Katholisch-Theologische Fakulta't, Ruhr-Universitat, Bochum.

The initiators of this event pursued three major aims:

1. To make a modest contribution to research into various Jewish and Christian readings of the Bible throughout the ages, a task which can be carried out most effectively by close cooperation between scholars from both traditions. It is a commonplace that both Judaism and Christianity emerged and developed in the course of a long process of interpreting and reinterpreting the Bible which crystallized in the creation of Judeo-Christian tradition, the backbone of modern western humanist culture. This process starts with the interpretation of ancient biblical writings by their later editors or by the authors of the late literary layers of the Bible. It includes intertestamental and Qumran studies, Rabbinics and the hermeneutics of medieval and modern approaches to the

Bible, and last but not least the emergence of modern critical biblical studies. Scholarly research into these hermeneutic trends takes into account the respective homiletic, dogmatic, juridical etc. interests of the exegetes in their own historicalsociological setting.

2. The additional aim of that conference, perhaps the most conspicuous one in this context, lies in the field of Jewish-Christian relations. Since the rise of the emancipation during the eighteenth century, i.e. since the period of Moses Mendelsohn and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing a new Jewish-

Christian dialogue has been ushered in. This gained momentum especially after World War II, with the major representatives of western Christianity, the Catholic and Protestant churches alike, being committed to it. The main intellectual effort of the Christian partners aims to track down the Jewish heritage absorbed in their tradition. On the other hand, it is the impact of the Zionist renaissance movement and the establishment of the State of Israel which created the psychological setting for modern Jewish scholarship's move towards a new unbiased, open-minded appreciation of Christianity, free from apologetical constraints, such as is reflected in some contributions to this volume.

3. Finally we hope that this conference will be a step towards close scholarly and scientific ties between Tel-Aviv University and Ruhr UniversitSt, Bochum, thus taking another step toward the rebuilding of bridges between the Jewish and the German people, without forgetting the dark shadows of the recent past. If the present volume meets at least some of these expectations, the efforts of all participants will have been worthwhile. In any case, we hope that it will constitute an intellectual challenge towards the above mentioned goals. We would like to thank the sponsoring institutions for their support, which made possible the convening of the conference and the publication of this volume: Tel-Aviv University, especially the Rector, Professor Y. Ben-Shaul, and the deputy Rector, Professor Y. Orgler, for their sympathetic and encouraging attitude and their material support; the Dean of the Faculty of Arts Professor A. Cohen; the head of the Rosenberg School for Jewish Studies Professor A. Tal, and last but not least the secretary of the Rosenberg School Mr Gideon Spiegel for his relentless efforts in organizing the conference and for his technical assistance in preparing the papers of the Israeli participants for publication.

We thank the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for supporting the participants from Bochum with a grant in connection with the journey to Israel.
