This volume connects the historical background of the Old Testament with its generic history and with systematic theology.
English summary: Jorg Jeremias outlines for the modern reader the most important ideas emerging from the Old Testament concerning God. He connects the historical background with the generic history and aspects from systematic theology. In this volume Theology of the Old Testament the author outlines the most important ideas about God in the Old Testament. Some of the texts, however, span more than 500 years and belong to very different genres: The Old Testament is not a homogeneous book but a library of separate volumes. Thus, the author connects for the modern reader the historical background with a generic history as well as with aspects from systematic theology. His choice of themes reflects the cohesion of the Old and New Testaments and serves to inform the modern reader. German description: In seiner “Theologie des Alten Testaments” fasst Jorg Jeremias die wesentlichen Aussagen uber Gott im Alten Testament zusammen. Allerdings liegen dessen Texte weit mehr als ein halbes Jahrtausend auseinander und gehoren ganz verschiedenen Gattungen an; das Alte Testament ist kein einheitliches Buch, sondern eine Bibliothek. Daher verbindet Jeremias die historische Betrachtungsweise mit einer gattungsgeschichtlichen und zuletzt einer systematischen. Die Gewichtung und Auswahl der Themen ist im Blick auf den Zusammenhalt der beiden Testamente getroffen und hat zugleich heutige Leser im Blick.
Dr. theol. Jorg Jeremias ist Professor em. fur Altes Testament an der Universitat Marburg und lebt in Munchen.
