After a long and distinguished career Adam S. van der Woude will retire on Reformation Day (October 31) from the Chair of Old Testament Studies and Intertestamental Literature of the Faculty of Theology of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. In order not to let this occasion go unnoticed, the Center of Religious Studies decided to organise a symposium in honour of one of its best known members on the very day that he himself gave his valedictory lecture. In view of Adam's academic interests, it seemed therefore an obvious choice to focus the lectures on Jewish and Christian traditions in the Intertestamental period. In addition to devoting so much of his own time and energy to this subject, he has also promoted the interest of the scholarly world in this central period in the history of Judaism and Christianity by the foundation and editing of the Journal for the Study of Judaism in the Persian, Helknistic and Roman Period. At the symposium, four friends and colleagues from Amsterdam, Groningen and Utrecht discussed various features of the history and literature of the Second Temple period. T. Baarda compares several traditions of the Shechem episode in the Testament of Levi. J.N. Bremmer enters into a recent debate on the origin of the Christian idea of the atonement. P.W. van der Horst analyses the reception or Ezekiel's words 'Laws that were not good' in early Judaism and Christianity, and M.A. Wes studies a fascinating episode from Flavius Josephus in the light of the Book of Baruch
