Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: This anthology contains the latest research into the “Twelve Minor Prophets” of the Old Testament. This research is the product of numerous research groups operating internationally and each pursuing detailed questions about the “Twelve,” such as how (or whether) the prophetic books make sense as a coherent group of texts, the structure of the books, and which motifs appear across the different texts. This volume presents the results of leading researchers and experts who pursue critical questions regarding the intertextual connections between the Minor Prophets, the Major Prophets, and the books of wisdom literature found in the Old Testament. Finally, the theological themes, social criticisms, views on the proper way of life, expectations about the messiah, and theodicy are all questions that are considered in these articles, as well as the reception of these themes in later literature, such as the Qumran texts, the New Testament, and rabbinical literature. The important, and even controversial, nature of the research on these themes reveals a striking debate about the power of God in the books of the Minor Prophets. German description: In diesem Band werden die neuesten Ergebnisse der Forschung am Zwolfprophetenbuch zu-sammengetragen. Weltweit existieren gegenwartig mehrere Forschergruppen, die sich neben zahlreichen Detailfragen besonders damit beschaftigen, ob und wie das Zwolfprophetenbuch als Sammlung ehemals selbststandiger Einzelschriften entstanden, wie es strukturiert ist und welche Leitgedanken die diversen Redaktionsgange bestimmt haben. Fuhrende Forscherinnen und Forscher haben in diesem Buch ihre Ergebnisse vorgelegt. Rezente Forschungsansatze fragen nach intertextuellen Verknupfungen der XII mit den Groaen Propheten und der Weis-heitsliteratur. Und schliealich sind ihre theologischen Thematiken der Sozialkritik, der ge-rechten und okologisch verantworteten Lebensgestaltung, der Messiaserwartung und der The-odizee thematische Schwergewichte und ihre Rezeption in Qumran, im Neuen Testament und in der rabbinischen Literatur zeigt ihre Brisanz, die sich besonders in der aktuellen Debatte um die Gewalt Gottes in den Prophetentexten artikuliert.
