| Summary: | Die neueste historische und religionsgeschichtliche Forschung weist mit Recht darauf hin, dass die exilische und nachexilische Geschichte »Israels« durch die Existenz unterschiedlicher und regional diversifizierter Jahwismen und deren Interaktionen miteinander geprägt ist. Das frühe Judentum bildet sich erst nach und nach in komplexen und vielschichtigen Aushandlungsprozessen dieser unterschiedlichen Gruppierungen heraus.Der vorliegende Band schließt eine wichtige Forschungslücke in der derzeitigen Diskussion, indem er eine dezidiert literaturgeschichtliche Perspektive wählt: Die 13 von international renommierten Expertinnen und Experten verfassten Beiträge fragen nach dem Einfluss, den diese binnen-israelitischen Ausdifferenzierungsprozesse auf die Formierung des Alten Testaments sowie seine textliche Überlieferung hatten.InhaltsübersichtBenedikt Hensel: Yahwistic Diversity and the Hebrew Bible: State of the Field, Desiderata, and Research Perspectives in a Necessary Debate on the Formative Period of Judaism(s) Part I: Perspectives for and from Judah, Samaria, and Diaspora?

A broad variety of different Yahwistic (and not necessarily Jewish) groups existed inside and outside Judah during the sixth to first century BCE, for example in Egypt (Elephantine/Jeb and Alexandria), Babylonia (al-Yahudu), Samaria, and Idumea.The main objective of the volume lies in the literary-historical implications of this diversity: How did these groups or their interactions with one another influence the formation of the Hebrew Bible as well as its complex textual transmission? This perspective has not been sufficiently pursued in the more religious and historically oriented research before.The volume comprises thirteen articles by renowned international specialists in the field, which aim at closing this gap in the scholarly discussion.Survey of contentsBenedikt Hensel: Yahwistic Diversity and the Hebrew Bible: State of the Field, Desiderata, and Research Perspectives in a Necessary Debate on the Formative Period of Judaism(s) Part I: Perspectives for and from Judah, Samaria, and Diaspora?
