Studien zu Sprache und Stil der Psalmen

This book contains studies from recent years on the Psalms of the Bible that investigate the form of the language and the poetic style of these songs and prayers. The first part traces the history of research since the 18th century. In a second part, the author takes a closer look at single examples of psalm texts. The third part explores general aspects and topics of research such as the formation of groups of psalms, certain characteristic features of style, text profiles and sound figures. Two sermons explore the relationship between psalm texts and current topics in our time.
