About this title

Synopsis

In this book, Old Testament theologies written in the last two centuries are scrutinized with special regard to their relation to history. History as a way of making sense and finding one's orientation out of the past is discussed. A distinction between emic (taken from within a literary work) and etic (taken from outside of a literary work) perspectives is suggested as an important criterion for understanding any Old Testament theology. (Series: Contributions to the Understanding of the Bible / Beitr�¤ge zum Verstehen der Bibel, Vol. 33) [Subject: Bible Studies, Religious Studies, Protestantism, Old Testament]
