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.
The little book of Nahum has not received good press to this day,
because it is commonly classified as one of the prophecies of the
biblical prophets against foreign peoples. In contrast, the words
of Nahum are directed against the capital of the then Assyrian
empire, under whose rule the inhabitants of Judah groaned, and are
therefore of a fundamentally different quality. In addition, the
words of Nahum have been recorded because they relate to the fall
of Nineveh in 612 B.C. had already fulfilled. Centuries later, as a
confirmed word of God, they have served as a pillar of hope for
people who suffered from oppression in the turning of their
hardship. It is even more important that the younger authors of the
book gained fundamental statements about God from Nahum's past
prophecy. Jeremiah works out the roots of Nahum's message in the
tradition of the early prophets of the Old Testament and impresses
with the accuracy of the justification of exegetical decisions in
conversation with other views. In addition - according to Jeremias
- instead of several literary layers in the book, only two can be
assumed.
