description
In his contribution to the fragmentary Jewish historians of Hellenistic times and their treatment of the biblical tradition Erich Gruen shows not only that the fragments disclose a remarkable range and diversity of texts, but also that their authors’ engagement with biblical texts was more light-hearted in tone, deliberately idiosyncratic, and, far from parochial in temperament, tended to connect with Hellenic and Near Eastern cultures in order to set Jewish traditions into a broader context. These historians did not see their mission primarily as setting the record straight. They provided arresting twists on biblical tales, alternative versions, provocative variations, and, almost always, some entertainment value. The sacrality of the Scriptures remained untouched.

Alternative description
Erich Gruen zeigt in seiner kleinen Studie, der überarbeiteten und erweiterten Kieler Felix-Jacoby-Vorlesung, über die Jüdischen Geschichtsschreiber der hellenistischen Zeit, dass ihre nur fragmentarisch überlieferten Schriften eine bemerkenswerte Bandbreite und Vielfalt aufwiesen. Ihr Umgang mit den biblischen Texten war zugleich sehr spielerisch, dabei bewusst ideosynkratisch und mit der Absicht verbunden, die Jüdischen Überlieferungen in einen breiteren kulturellen Kontext zu stellen. Die Geschichtsschreiber sahen ihre Aufgabe vorrangig nicht darin aufzuklären. Zu den biblischen Erzählungen boten sie stattdessen fesselnde Wendungen, alternative Versionen und provokante Varianten. Fast immer besaßen ihre Darstellungen auch einen gewissen Unterhaltungswert. Die Sakralität der Heiligen Schrift blieb davon jedoch unberührt.
