Schriftgelehrte Traditionsliteratur
Fallstudien zur innerbiblischen Schriftauslegung im Alten Testament
by Konrad Schmid
English summary: Recent research has shown that the Old Testament books largely consist of both text and commentary in one. The composition of the Old Testament as a written text can be interpreted as the differentiated process of scriptural exegesis within the Bible, a process which repeatedly updated traditional texts in order to apply them to new historical situations. It was not until the texts became canonical that the texts and commentaries were separated permanently. The various studies by Konrad Schmid in this volume investigates the culture of writing and the composition of literary works in ancient Israel, presents several case studies of inner-biblical exegesis in the Old Testament and reflects on the resulting theological significance. The image of the Old Testament as traditional scribal literature as portrayed by recent Old Testament studies lays the foundation for an historically differentiated and theologically dynamic view of the Bible. German description: Die neuere Forschung zum Alten Testament hat deutlich gemacht, dass dessen Bucher uber weite Strecken hin Text und Kommentar in einem sind. Die Schriftwerdung des Alten Testaments lasst sich als ein differenzierter Prozess innerbiblischer Schriftauslegung interpretieren, der uberkommenes Textgut jeweils auf neue historische Situationen hin aktualisiert hat. Erst die Kanonsgrenze hat Text und Kommentar dann dauerhaft voneinander getrennt. Der vorliegende Band vereinigt verschiedene Studien von Konrad Schmid, in denen er sich der Rekonstruktion der Schriftkultur und des Literaturbetriebs im antiken Israel zuwendet, mehrere Fallstudien innerbiblischer Exegese im Alten Testament vorstellt und schliesslich die theologische Bedeutung dieser Befunde thematisiert. Das von der neueren alttestamentlichen Wissenschaft gezeichnete Bild des Alten Testaments als schriftgelehrter Traditionsliteratur erweist sich dabei als Grundlage einer historisch differenzierten und theologisch dynamischen Wahrnehmung der Bibel.
