Beitrage Zum Verstehen der Bibel: New Theologies of the Old Testament and History : The Function of History in Modern Biblical Scholarship Volume 33 (Series #33) (Paperback)

In this book, Old Testament theologies written in the last two centuries are scrutinized with special regard to their relation to history. History as a way of making sense and finding one's orientation out of the past is discussed. A distinction between emic (taken from within a literary work) and etic (taken from outside of a literary work) perspectives is suggested as an important criterion for understanding any Old Testament theology.
