''Because they have cast away the law of the Lord of Hosts'' , or ''We and the rest of the world'': the authors who ''wrote'' the Old TestamentIndex of biblical references; Index of authorsUntil the 1970s biblical studies belonged to the historical-critical school and had reached a point where all problems were believed to have been solved. Then all assumptions began to be turned on their head. Previously, historical studies constituted the backbone of biblical studies; now, every aspect of biblical history began to be questioned. The idea of the Old Testament as a source of historical information was replaced by an understanding of the texts as a means for early Jewish society to interpret its past. Biblical Studies and the Failure of History brings together key essays which reflect the trajectory of this scholarly shift in order to illuminate the state of biblical studies today. The early essays present historical-critical studies tracing historical information. Further essays employ a more critical and interpretive perspective to examine seminal issues ranging from the Hellenistic contexts of biblical tradition to the functioning of Old Testament society.Copenhagen international seminar.JewsHistorySourcesJewsHistory221.6/7Lemche Niels Peter925478MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958821703321Biblical studies and the failure of history4488907UNINA
