Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The dissertation is dealing with the questions of how Ben Sira passed the wisdom of saying in his Sirach book (200 BC) on and which suggestions for the current religious education they offer.First of all, the most important research positions for the controversial evaluation of the existence of schools in ancient Judea are traced. Furthermore, the hypothesis is formed that certain paragraphs of the Sirach book belong to a category of “teaching manuscripts” including aphorisms that were recited and prosaically clarified by the teacher.In the second part of the dissertation the detected proofs for this form of texts are translated, analyzed and interpreted in means of the use by Ben Sira’s teaching. The original didactic function as “teaching manuscripts” becomes apparent in all analyzed texts. Altogether they show the outline of Ben Sira’s teaching curriculum.The third section asks which lessons todays religious education can learn from the contents and forms of ancient wisdom-based teaching. It is shown that up-to-date bible didactical approaches (exemplarily Baldermann and Oberthür) can be extended meaningfully into the direction of ethic competences by using Ben Sira’s wisdom of saying.
