Das Alte Testament auf dem Weg zu seiner Theologie
Ausgehend von der nach wie vor aktuellen Kontroverse zwischen Systematischer Theologie und alttestamentlicher Exegese gibt Christoph Levin einen pointierten Überblick über das geänderte Bild der Religionsgeschichte Israels und Judas, wie es aus den neueren Ergebnissen der Bibelwissenschaft hervorgeht. Die Darstellung beruht auf zahlreichen Einzelstudien des Verfassers und verknüpft deren Ergebnisse mit Einsichten sowohl der klassischen als auch d…
Versteckte Warnungen im Hohenlied
Die Prüfung Abrahams (Genesis 22) und ihre innerbiblischen Bezüge
The testing of Abraham in Gen. 22:1-19 is a parable created from many inner-biblical references. Its core is based on Gen. 12:1-7 and Exod. 3:1-5, and in further adaptations the event was moved to the mountain of God, following the example of Exod. 24:1-2, 13-14. The preparations for the sacrifice were added according to the Torah for the burnt offering in Lev 1:1-9. As in Gen. 28:19; 16:13; 32:31, special significance was ascribed to the site. I…
Typologische Christologie
By discussing a number of familiar as well as hitherto unknown examples, the article shows how the Gospels can evoke entire scenes from the Old Testament by employing keywords, which enables them to be interpreted as prefigurations of the appearance of Christ: Gen 28:11-16 in Mark 4:35-41; Gen 37:5-11 in Luke 2:19.51; Gen 25:21-23 in Luke 1:39-45; T. Naph. 7:1-4 in Luke 24:32; 1Sam 9:15-17 in John 19:5; and 1Kgs 17:10-24 in John 2:3-5 and 19:26-2…
Chaos from the Ancient World to Early Modernity
Chaos is a perennial source of fear and fascination. The original "formless void" (tohu-wa-bohu) mentioned in the book of Genesis, chaos precedes the created world: a state of anarchy before the establishment of cosmic order. But chaos has frequently also been conceived of as a force that persists in the cosmos and in society and threatens to undo them both. From the cultures of the ancient Near East and the Old Testament to early modernity, noti…
The Last Days of the Kingdom of Israel
Despite considerable scholarly efforts for many years, the last two decades of the Kingdom of Israel are still beneath the veil of history. What was the status of the Kingdom after its annexation by Assyria in 732 BCE? Who conquered Samaria, the capital of the Kingdom? When did it happen? One of the primary reasons for this situation lies in the discrepancies found in the historical sources, namely the Hebrew Bible and the Assyrian texts. Since b…
Last Days of the Kingdom of Israel
Herrschaftslegitimation in vorderorientalischen Reichen der Eisenzeit
Der Sammelband behandelt Formen und Strategien von Herrschaftslegitimation, die in eisenzeitlichen Königtümern der Levante sowie in Mesopotamien und Ägypten ausgeprägt wurden. Anhand von ikonographischen, textlichen und archäologischen Zeugnissen werden die Grundmuster herausgearbeitet, mit denen in diesen Reichen königliche Herrschaft legitimiert wurde. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt den kulturellen Wechselwirkungen, die zwischen den Regionen bes…
Herrschaftslegitimation in vorderorientalischen Reichen der Eisenzeit
This volume deals with the forms and strategies of rulership legitimation that were developed in the Iron Age kingdoms of the Levant as well as in Mesopotamia and Egypt.
Centres and Peripheries in the Early Second Temple Period
What can centre and periphery frameworks, in all their present diversity and in their various re-conceptualizations, contribute to the study of the early Second Temple period? The essays in this volume address this question through the prism of the location of Jerusalem, diasporic communities, the literary history of some texts, gender, and more.

Thinking of Water in the Early Second Temple Period
Re-Reading the Scriptures
This volume contains 15 papers written by Christoph Levin between 2001 and 2011, four of them unpublished. One main focus is on the Pentateuch, mainly on the oldest comprehensive narrative source, the Yahwist, which was written at the beginning of the Jewish diaspora. One paper gives an outline of the features of this source as they emerge resulting from an inquiry into their redaction history. In addition the full text of the Yahwist's history i…
Integrativer Monotheismus im Alten Testament
The Old Testament commandment to worship no other gods except Yahweh implies that Yahweh also assumed the functions of other gods. This development began in the 9th century. At that time, the weather god Yahweh moved into a monarchical position. In the kingdoms around Israel and Judah, there were similar processes. After Israel's fall in the 7th century, Judah endeavoured to unify the regionally varying manifestations of the Yahweh cult. In the 6…
Remembering and Forgetting in Early Second Temple Judah
This volume collects revised versions of essays from a 2011 workshop on Remembering and Forgetting in Early Second Temple Judah. The authors reflect on cases of memory and forgetting as reflected in the literature that ended up in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament as well as on general issues associated with social memory in ancient Israel.
Remembering and forgetting in early Second Temple Judah
This volume collects revised versions of essays from a 2011 workshop held in Munich on Remembering and Forgetting in Early Second Temple Judah . The authors of the essays address these issues from both general methodological perspectives and through case studies emerging out or associated with a wide range of texts from the prophetic literature, the Pentateuch, the historical books, Psalms and Lamentations. All these texts share one main feature:…

The Concept of Exile in Ancient Israel and its Historical Contexts
In ancient Israelite literature Exile is seen as a central turning point within the course of the history of Israel. In these texts “the Exile” is a central ideological concept. It serves to explain the destruction of the monarchic polities and the social and economic disasters associated with them in terms that YHWH punished Israel/Judah for having abandoned his ways. As it develops an image of an unjust Israel, it creates one of a just deity. B…

Das Alte Testament auf dem Weg zu seiner Theologie
In recent exegesis, ancient Israel has lost its special position in the history of religion. This has had consequences for biblical hermeneutics. We must realize that the binding nature of the Old Testament does not depend on its incomparability, but on its significance as a religious paradigm. Literary history shows that the Old Testament is a continuing discussion about God which has been committed to writing. At the beginning, we find what was…
Das Wort Jahwes an Jeremia. Zur ältesten Redaktion der jeremianischen Sammlung Das Wort Jahwes an Jeremia. Zur ältesten Redaktion der jeremianischen Sammlung
The oldest instances of Word theology in the Old Testament can be found in an early revision of the book of Jeremiah, traces of which are evident in the call scene and the visions in Jer. 1, as well as in the symbolic actions in Jer. 13, 16, 18, 32 and 35. After the prophetic proclamation had been confirmed by the conquest of Jerusalem, it was conceptualized in this revision under the theological term »Word of Yahweh«, the so-called »formula for …
