Carr analysiert die biblische Urgeschichte eng am Text und ordnet sie zugleich in den Kontext des Alten Orients ein. Die Interpretation der bedeutungsschweren und vielschichten Erzählungen wird jeweils eingeleitet von einer annotierten Übersetzung sowie einem Blick auf Entstehung und Vorstufen des tradierten Textes. Daran schließt sich die Auslegung des Endtextes an, die alte und neue exegetische Einsichten verbindet und dabei auch feministisc...

Sacred Textsand Imperial Contexts of the Hebrew Bible. 2nd Ed.

There has been a recent trend to date many non-Priestly texts later than their Priestly counterparts, and this movement has significant synchronic, as well as diachronic, implications. The commentary engages these approaches, along with other recent proposals and methods, in providing a multi-layered reading of the diverse texts and strata of Genesis 1-11.

The result is a radically new picture of the formation of the Hebrew Bible from the tenth to the first centuries BCE.

Statt in der gewohnten, mit Genesis beginnenden Reihenfolge werden die Leserinnen und Leser in dieser Einführung in das Alte Testament in diachronem Durchgang an die einzelnen biblischen Textgruppen herangeführt. Dadurch gelingt ein Doppeltes: Einerseits wird deutlich, wie sehr die biblischen Texte jeweils Produkte ihrer Zeit sind, andererseits wird gezeigt, wie unterschiedlich sie auf ihren jeweiligen altorientalischen Kontext reagiert haben....
