The present study is devoted to an exact analysis of the Oracles against Tyre in the Book of Ezekiel, which are handed down in the Old Testament in Ez 26-28. The first main section locates the Old Testament text within literary history. The second section reconstructs the history of the coastal city of Tyre in the 1st millennium BC, using the Oracles against Tyre from the Book of Ezekiel as a source for the reconstruction of this history. A third section examines the image of Tyre and its development in the Old Testament as a whole.

This monograph examines the Royal Psalms against the background of recent advances in research into the Psalms and the Psalter, which addresses not only the detailed examination of the individual texts but also the connections between the individual psalms. A detailed textual analysis refutes the thesis that the Royal Psalms were composed exclusively before the time of exile, showing a literary development beyond the time of exile and demonstrating that the Royal Psalms display a coherent theology.
