Figurines in Achaemenid Period Yehud
Jerusalem's History of Religion and Coroplastics in the Monotheism Debate
Seiten
Izaak J. de Hulster entgegnet dem allgemeinen Konsens und belegt, dass es im Jerusalem der achämenidischen Zeit Figurinen gab. Manche Wissenschaftler haben das scheinbare Fehlen solcher Figurinen mit dem Aufstieg des Monotheismus in Verbindung gebracht; de Hulsters These hat also Implikationen für die Religionsgeschichte Israels nach dem Exil.
Were there figurines in Yehud during the Achaemenid period, and in particular in Jerusalem? A positive answer to this question disproves the general consensus about the absence of figurines in Yehud, which is built on the assumption that the figurines excavated in Judah/Yehud are chronologically indicative for Iron Age II in this area (aside from a few typological exceptions). Ephraim Stern and others have taken this alleged absence of figurines as indicative of Jewish monotheism's rise. Izaak J. de Hulster refutes this 'no figurines monotheism' paradigm by detailed study of the figurines from Yigal Shiloh's excavation in the 'City of David' (especially their contexts in Stratum 9), providing ample evidence for the presence of figurines in post-587/586 Jerusalem. The author further reflects on the paradigm's premises in archaeology, history, the history of religion, theology, and biblical studies, and particularly in coroplastics (figurine studies).
