The formation of the Book of the Twelve is one of the most
vigorously debated subjects in Old Testament studies today. This
volume assembles twenty-four essays by the world s leading experts,
providing an overview of the present state of scholarship in the
field. The book s contributors focus on questions of method,
history, as well as redactional and textual history."
This volume presents a study of the late stages in the genesis of
the Book of the Twelve; it is based on a complete analysis of the
editorial history of the Books of Obadiah, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk,
Deuterozachariah und Malachi and leads to a new model for the
origin of the Book of the Twelve Prophets.
The book deals with the genesis of the Book of the Four Prophets
(Hosea, Amos, Micah, Zephaniah) from the time of exile, the
Haggai-Zechariah-Corpus and the integration of the Book of Joel
into the Book of the Four Prophets from the time of exile. In
contrast to previous research, the findings are based for the first
time on an analysis of the editorial history of each of the
individual books. Thus it is possible to provide a precise
description of the composition, intention and historical
theological backgrounds of these early collections.
Besides two hitherto unpublished papers, this collection contains
15 of Rainer Albertz' papers from the period 1978 - 2000. They
reflect the author's concern to understand biblical developments
against the background of the religious and socio-historical
developments and currents in Israel and the Ancient Orient. The
volume includes, for example, reflections on the development of the
tradition of prehistory, of the commandment to honour one's
parents, of the issue of monotheism, or of the significance of
personal piety. The collection is completed with socio-historical
studies on the social background to the Book of Job or the moving
forces behind the Deuteronomistic History, together with approaches
to the editorial history of the Books of Jeremiah and
Deuteroisaiah.
