    Braterstwo Dawida i Jonatana. Obraz męskiej przyjaźni w 1 Sm 18 ˗ 2 Sm 1
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021) Dziadosz, Dariusz
    W wielu biblijnych publikacjach naukowych i popularyzatorskich na przestrzeni ostatnich dekad toczy się żywa debata na temat charakteru relacji łączącej Dawida i Jonatana, utrwalonej w Księ­gach Samuela. Niektórzy przypisują tej więzi podtekst homoseksualny, a przynajmniej homoerotyczny, jednakże tego typu interpretacja nie znajduje potwierdzenia w materiale źródłowym 1 Sm 18 – 2 Sm 1. Cykl o dojściu Dawida do władzy (1 Sm 16,1 – 2 Sm 5,5) nie komunikuje wyraźnych sygnałów, które wskazują na seksualne podłoże relacji międzyosobowej pretendentów do tronu. Sugerowana przez niektórych autorów lektura tradycji 1 Sm 18,1 – 2 Sm 1 w kluczu idei homoseksualizmu oraz jej więź z Pieśnią nad Pieśniami dotyczy jedynie płaszczyzny terminologicznej i nie pozwala przypisać tekstom z Pierwszej Księgi Samuela wydźwięku intymnego (homoerotycznego). Opisując braterską więź Jonatana i Dawida, deuteronomista akcentuje nade wszystko jej teologiczny i społeczno-polityczny aspekt, co nie oznacza, że utrwalony przez niego obraz męskiej przyjaźni nie posiada mocnego zabarwienia emocjo­nalno-uczuciowego.

    Genealogie Księgi Rodzaju. Pomiędzy historią, tradycją i teologią
    (Wydawnctwo KUL, 2011) Dziadosz, Dariusz
    Most readers of Scripture do not normally consider genealogies among its more exciting parts. Their virtual dismissal by most lay readers contrasts sharply with biblical scholar's obsession with them. For the latter, genealogy may be more fascinating than narrative, because of the historical curiosity that most biblical scholars bring to the text. Of the opening eleven chapters of Genesis, two are exclusively dedicated to genealogical concerns - chapter 5 and chapter 10. Chapter 5 traces the genealogical lineage from Adam to Noah. Chapter 10 focuses on the three sons of Noah and their respective descendants, and the place where each of them settled. Similarly to the narrative account, the two lists serve as evidence of God's blessing upon these antediluvian patriarchs and upon the genealogical line that leads down to Abraham. Such a blessing is manifested in chronological succession (ch. 5) and territorial expansion (ch. 10).

    God as Guardian and Enemy of the Human Soul/Life. The Cultural and Theological Code of the nepeš in 1 Sam 25:29
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2022) Dziadosz, Dariusz; Wojnicki, Arkadiusz
    The cycles of traditions about Saul’s rise to power and reign (1 Sam 7:2–12:25; 13:1–15:31) and David’s ascension to the throne (1 Sam 16:1 – 2 Sam 5:5) portray human life as constantly under threat while simultaneously remaining in all circumstances in the hands of YHWH and dependent on His will. In order to understand the Deuteronomist’s perspective on the life/soul of a human being, one has to explore the meaning of the Hebrew term nepeš in the source material he edited. This publication, using the historical-critical method, analyses the meaning of the concept of nepeš in 1 Sam 25:29 to show on this basis: (1) literary, editorial and historical-cultural background of this verse in the context of the whole cycle of tradition: 1 Sam 16:1 – 2 Sam 5:5; (2) exegetical analysis of nepeš and other key terms used in 1 Sam 25:29; (3) theological ideas present in the Hebrew text and their implications for the biblical concept of the human soul. This is because Abigail’s blessing shows the image of God characteristic of historical books of the Old Testament, as well as sheds light on the character of David and his role in the inauguration of monarchical power in Israel. Furthermore, it allows new aspects of the semantic field of the term nepeš to be discovered.

    The Covenants of the Patriarchs with Foreigners at Beersheba. The Historical and Legal Background of the Traditions in Gen 21:22–24, 25–33 and Gen 26:26–31
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Dziadosz, Dariusz
    The author of this paper seeks the original historical context as well as the oldest form, structure and concept of the biblical records of the covenants of Abraham and Isaac with the local ruler(s) as recorded in Gen 21:22–24, 25–33; 26:26–31. The patriarchs, who enjoy the status of foreign/sojourner/ resident in the land of the Philistine king, Abimelek, and their peaceful agreements are depicted in three biblical sources, which are very similar to each other in terms of structure and literary context. Those are compared with selected Hittite, Babylonian and Assyrian records of the royal covenants from the 2 millennium BC. The methodology adopted in the research allowed several important formal and substantive points of contact to be noted in the compared sources. Through this comparison, the paper confirms that Gen 21:22–24, 25 33; 26:26–31 reflects two ancient patterns of bilateral covenants between the monarch and an equal or subordinate social partner: royal grants and suzerain-vassal treaties. The paper also discusses the socio-cultural and legal spectrum of the Near Eastern royal procedures and how they were re-edited and adapted by the editors responsible for the current version of the biblical cycles about the patriarchs.
