Fifteen years after his death the last book by Willem Cornelis van
Unnik (1910-1978) is now published. This great scholar presents
here the results of his thorough investigation of self-definition
in the Jewish diaspora of late antiquity. After an introductory
chapter which includes a brief history of research, Van Unnik
investigates the semantic field of the Greek termdiaspora
diaspora,
the use of this word in the Septuagint and the New Testament, the
history of the term in post-biblical Jewish and Christian writings,
and the theological understanding of the term. Van Unnik concludes
that in Jewish circles living in the diaspora has always been
regarded as an essentially negative and frightening phenomenon,
much more so than many modern investigations would have us believe.
The main text of this book. The main text of this book is
completely from the pen of Van Unnik; only the footnotes were
missing. The editor has added footnotes and an extensive
biographical-bibliographical introduction and appendices.
