Short description:

Ist die hebräische Bibel immer noch eine wichtige Textquelle, die wichtige Beweise und vertrauenswürdige Informationen über die historische Realität Israels enthält? Oder ist die meiste, wenn nicht alle, Geschichtlichkeit der hebräischen Bibel einfach in sich zusammengebrochen, so dass wir sie überhaupt nicht mehr als historische Quelle nutzen können? Dieser Band liefert aufschlussreiche Erkenntnisse zu diesen Fragen. Is the Hebrew Bible still an important source that contains significant evidence and trustworthy information about the historical reality of ancient Israel? Or has most, if not all, of the historicity of the Hebrew Bible simply collapsed so that we can no longer use it as a historical source at all? This volume provides insightful findings concerning these questions.

Long description:

"Ist die hebräische Bibel immer noch eine wichtige Textquelle, die wichtige Beweise und vertrauenswürdige Informationen über die historische Realität Israels enthält? Oder ist die meiste, wenn nicht alle, Geschichtlichkeit der hebräischen Bibel einfach in sich zusammengebrochen, so dass wir sie überhaupt nicht mehr als historische Quelle nutzen können? Dieser Band liefert aufschlussreiche Erkenntnisse zu diesen Fragen. In recent centuries, and especially the last decades, critical scholarship on the Hebrew Bible has brought to light a large gap between biblical portrayals of the historical reality of ancient Israel (story) on the one hand, and historical-critical reconstructions of the actual past (history) on the other. The scientific presentation of ancient Israel's history can no longer be considered as a more or less critical narration of the accounts in the Hebrew Bible. The problems the so-called ""minimalists"" and ""maximalists"" struggled to solve still remain unsettled, and students as well as scholars of the Hebrew Bible cannot ignore or even remain indifferent to the gap and overlap between story and history. Could and should Hebrew Bible scholarship in the future move beyond the milieu of the debate between minimalists and maximalists? This volume, consisting of nine articles by authors with different institutional and religious backgrounds, articulates that there are ways to overcome the increasing gap between story and history."
