The central theme of this volume is the incipient social and cultural turn in biblical studies in the 1970s, which represents one of the most important innovations in the scholarly research of the Old and New Testaments in the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. The unilaterally narrowed focus which traditional exegesis placed on theological ideas and prominent individuals is deliberately widened. Biblical texts are interpreted in terms of their social, economic, political and cultural contexts through which they were characterized. The social-scientific interpretation of the Bible thus enables a deepened understanding of numerous biblical statements. The contributions demonstrate the efficiency of this methodology, whereby sociological and socio-historical as well as ethnological and cultural-anthropological avenues are presented. German text.
Das leitende Thema dieses Bandes ist die in den 1970er Jahren in der Bibelwissenschaft einsetzende soziale und kulturelle Wende (social and cultural turn). Sie stellt eine der wichtigsten Innovationen der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Alten und Neuen Testaments im 20. und beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert dar. Der einseitig auf theologische Ideen und herausragende Individuen verengte Fokus der traditionellen Exegese wird bewusst geweitet. Die biblischen Texte werden in ihren sozialen, okonomischen, politischen und kulturellen Kontexten gedeutet, durch die sie gepragt wurden. Die sozialwissenschaftliche Bibelauslegung ermoglicht so ein vertieftes Verstandnis zahlreicher biblischer Aussagen. In den einzelnen Beitragen zu Themen und Texten v. a. des Neuen Testaments zeigen international fuhrende VertreterInnen dieser Forschungsrichtung die Leistungsfahigkeit dieser Methodik, wobei sowohl soziologische und sozialgeschichtliche als auch ethnologische und kulturanthropologische Zugange vorgestellt werden.
