- Summary:
- Die Sammlung umfasst 15 Aufsätze von Christoph Levin in englischer Sprache aus den Jahren 2001 bis 2011, davon vier erstmals publiziert. Ein erster Schwerpunkt betrifft die Pentateuch-Forschung, vor allem die älteste durchlaufende erzählende Quelle, den Jahwisten, deren Ursprung in den Anfängen der jüdischen Diaspora gesucht werden kann. Alle Studien beruhen auf der eingehenden Analyse des literarischen Wachstums. So wie es vorliegt, ist das Alte Testament in der Epoche des Zweiten Tempels aus einem Prozess andauernder Fortschreibung hervorgegangen.
