- English abstract
- This monograph offers a literary and theological analysis of the historical psalms Exod 15, Ps 78, 105, 106, 114, 135 and 136, by focusing on their redactional history and inner-biblical exegesis. It shows that the reception of biblical history starts with the Song of the Sea (Exod 15) and is then carried into the Psalms. This dynamic exegetical process represents biblical Judaism's search for identity in which the people assure themselves of their history with their God. The literary genre of the texts as prayers evokes a cultic context which allows for an individual appropriation of biblical history.
