Synopsis
Contributing Authors

This selection of articles-never published in English before-reflects the author’s position that the basic realization of minimalism has always been evident: that the Old Testament is not-exclusively-a book about history but is dominated by interests in theology both as literature and as an expression of the community in which biblical writings originated. It is a companion volume to his 2022 book Back to Reason: Minimalism in Biblical Studies and gives an impression of the progress of biblical studies over the last generation or two but also presents a series of new ideas about subjects such as cultural memory, the redaction of Psalms, the importance of prophetic literature for Christian theology, and much more.
