John Sailhamer

Die Zukunft der AT-Theologie

Collin Hansen hat für CT den Autor es hochgelobten Buches Finding Meaning in the Pentateuch interviewt (siehe hier). John Sailhamer sagt dort über die Zukunft der alttestamentlichen Theologie:

By far the biggest change in Old Testament studies over the past four decades has been the fall—if not the total collapse—of the discipline of Old Testament itself. I don’t mean to say that the study of the Old Testament has no future. I mean only that there is a general sense among Old Testament scholars at the moment that the discipline of Old Testament studies has an uncertain future. It is not that there is no future. It is that no one has been able to predict what its future will be. This an exciting time and productive period to be studying the Old Testament because despite the many new approaches being tried and tested, a consensus on what will come next has not been reached.

The Meaning of the Pentateuch

419e78r2soL._SL160_.jpgWer noch ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für begeisterte Leser der 5 Bücher Mose sucht, sollte sich:

  • John H. Sailhamer: The Meaning of the Pentateuch: Revelation, Composition and Interpretation, Inter Varsity, 610 S.

genauer anschauen.

Das Buch ist noch nicht lange auf dem Mark, genießt aber schon einen exzellenten Ruf. Eugene H. Merrill schreibt:

For years John Sailhamer has been pressing toward a comprehensive work on the Pentateuch, preparing the way with such works as his The Pentateuch as Narrative and a host of periodical publications on the subject. At last the magnum opus has appeared under the title The Meaning of the Pentateuch: Revelation, Composition and Interpretation. In typical Sailhamer fashion, he has left no stones unturned in any language necessary to get to primary and secondary sources, while at the same time offering fresh insights into the biblical texts and compelling invitations to the reader to view them in more holistic and integrative ways. Careful reading of the book will inevitably call for a reexamination of the issue of the Pentateuch’s antiquity and its deliberate compositional strategy, a reassessment that will help to rehabilitate Torah as not the end product of Judaism but as the foundation of Israelite faith and practice.
