Studien zu religiösem Lehren und Lernen im Deuteronomium und in seinem Umfeld

[Instructions for Israel.Studies of Religious Teaching and Learning in Deuteronomy and its Social Environment]

Published in German.

This study focuses on the statements in Deuteronomy which pertain to religious teaching and learning. Gathered in front of Moses in Moab, Israel received a new "image" before entering the Holy Land of Deuteronomy’s represented world: Moses taught Israel according to JHWH’s instruction. This was the hour of Israel’s birth as a community of religious teaching and learning. According to the will of JHWH, the people were to live in this way from that time on, and it was only in doing so that they were able to survive. Survival has a great deal to do with maintaining one’s identity, and it is this which the multi-dimensional instructions on religious teaching and learning in Deuteronomy guarantee. In order to outline the concept given in Deuteronomy, the author has examined selected biblical writings which contain significant statements on the subject of religious teaching and learning: Isaiah, Jeremiah and Proverbs.
