Keywords Political Ethics, Feministic View on Political and Economical Leadership, Antiquity and Economics,
Report The Conference Visit at the Pontifical Biblical Institute allowed me to get in touch with experts on the historical period in the time from 300 B.C. especially with an feministic view and the central economical and political part of the Southern Levant, which is the Temple. The Research in this field is growing more into a distinguishing field by comparing and puzzling the different archeological fields together, and the perspective on the economic structures is getting deeper. Therefor the political aspects are often underdetermined. My presentation focused on this point, and widens the research field, not even in the field of ancient economics, by arguing with biblical texts, but also with an ethical perspective, which is focusing the pragmatical fields of ethics, which is money. The discussion was very fruitful, and shows, that there are many questions on this topic and research to do, e.g. in evaluating the role of the Temple in a specific period, highlighting business woman and bring these things into a biblical-exegetical and theological perspective.
