Opium of the People or Source of Resistance?
Hope is often understood as a passive waiting that opposes resistance. Against the state of the world, hope is oriented towards a coming intervention, a fundamental change. In an apocalyptic perspective - which is applied to the Hebrew Bible by many researchers - a distance between this world and the divinely desired one is created. In this way, the gift of hope enables one to passively endure the current difficult circumstances. This article exa…
Trügende Prophetenworte
In antiquity, prophecy functioned as a means of (political) decision-making, which is why the trustworthiness of prophetic words had to be verified.

Zusätzlich zur inneralttestamentlichen Kriterienbildung zum Umgang mit pro…

Das Fremde und das Eigene
This study examines the statements about strangers, foreign peoples, and gods in Deuteronomy. It shows that representations of the stranger were closely tied to differently nuanced constructions of the authors’ own Israelite identities during different eras. The approach combines literary historical analysis with sociological insights regarding the construction of the identities of self and other
