The Dhammapada is one of the most popular and accessible books in all of Buddhist literature. In it are the words of the Buddha, teaching that all suffering stems from desire and that the way to attain freedom is to purify the heart and follow the way of truth. Thomas Byrom's verse rendering of the Dhammapada uniquely captures the Buddha's original teachings with simplicity and lyricism.

English summary: Among the common features of the books of the Prophets Hosea and Isaiah is the mention of children with special names who play major roles (Is 7f;. Hos 1-3). The paper examines this extraordinary phenomenon and researches its possible background. It comes to the conclusion that the processes in the texts, as well as their historical and theological traditions of explanation and substantiation of intentions, determined primarily literary figurations and functions of these "prophet&#39;s children." The work was accepted as a dissertation by the Theological Faculty of the University of Leipzig in 2009. German text. German description: Zu den Gemeinsamkeiten der Prophetenbuecher Hosea und Jesaja gehort, dass darin bei der Prasentation jener Personen, auf die sie zurueckgehen sollen, Kinder mit besonderen Namen erwahnt werden und eine wesentliche Rolle spielen (Jes 7f.; Hos 1-3). Die Arbeit untersucht dieses aussergewohnliche Phanomen und erhebt seine moglichen Hintergruende. Sie kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die in den Texten verarbeiteten Uberlieferungen sowie ihre geschichtstheologischen Erklarungs- und Fundierungsabsichten die in erster Linie literarischen Figurationen und Funktionen dieser &gt;Prophetenkinder
