“…The study of time has also taken center stage in fields as diverse as particle physics, ecology, entomology, biology, dendrochronology, neuroscience, anthropology, philosophy, history, literature and media studies as well as in popular American culture (e.g., Richards 2000;Gell 2001;Halberstam 2005;Holford-Strevens 2005;Rüpke 2006;Feeney 2007;Falk 2008 Museums, galleries and biennales have also embraced the theme of time in recent years. To cite just one example: in 2010, Swiss video artist Christian Marclay created a 24-hour meditation on clock time and its prevalence in modern film and life (about which see Zalewski 2012).…”

Despite the apparent finality of Heschel’s pronouncement, in 1951, that Judaism is a ‘religion of time’, the past two decades have seen renewed scholarly interest in the relationship between time, time-keeping, and forms of temporality in Jewish culture. This vibrant engagement with time and temporality in Jewish studies is not an isolated phenomenon. It participates in a broader interdisciplinary examination of time across the arts, humanities and sciences, both in the academy and beyond it. The current article outlines the innovative approaches of this ‘temporal turn’ within ancient Judaism and Jewish studies and reflects on why time has become such an important topic of research in recent years. We address a number of questions: What are the trends in recent work on time and temporality in the fields of ancient Judaism and Jewish studies? What new insights into the study of Judaism have emerged as a result of this focus on time? What reasons (academic, historiographical, technological and geopolitical) underpin this interest in time in such a wide variety of disciplines? And finally, what are some new avenues for exploration in this growing field at the intersection of time and Jewish studies? The article identifies trends and discusses key works in the broad field of Jewish studies, while providing more specific surveys of particular developments in the fields of Second Temple Judaism, Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic literature, and some medieval Jewish sources.

“…Trans. McVey,Ephrem,90,97. 48 The hymn culminates its progression of conjoined incompatibilities with a parallel that makes these distinct mysteries into the same mystery of instantiated limitlessness: "While indeed He was on the cross, He received the dead; | just so, while he was a babe, He was forming babes.…”

Summary For a long time the text of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti was studied mainly as a political or historical document. Yet recent criticism has capitalized on its primary function, that of an inscription on bronze slabs adjoining the entrance of Augustus� Mausoleum on the Field of Mars in Rome. The present article continues the exploration of the text's functioning in that original position, interpreting it in the light of its monumental context and vice versa. In particular, the hypothesis that a bronze exemplar of the Augustus of Prima Porta was the statue that topped Augustus� Mausoleum is considered from this perspective.
