Blumenberg
Год выхода: 2011
Grande admiratrice du philosophe, Sibylle Lewitscharoff, dans ce roman qui multiplie les allusions a Lions, evoque surtout le penseur dans son cabinet de travail.

Boken om profeten Obadja – en vetenskaplig kommentar till texten
Obadja är en av de mindre profeterna, en samtida med Jeremia och Hesekiel. Profeten Obadjas bok ligger på fjärde plats i serien av de mindre profeternas böcker och består av ett kapitel. Man tror att boken skrevs under den babyloniska fångenskapen. Utan undantag är alla profetior från Obadja riktade mot edomiterna – ett folk som bodde sydost om Judéen och deltog i plundringen av Jerusalem 586 f.Kr. e.
