| Résumé : |
"The title of this work . .. emphasizes the plural: Theologies in the Old Testament.' Usually a self-confident singular is used. The reason for my choice is relatively simple. The Old Testament, a collection of many testimonies of faith from around a thousand years of the history of ancient Israel, has no unitary theology, nor can it. The unity of belief in God, which we constantly want to emphasize (or have to emphasize, because we need it in many respects), does not lie in the texts themselves, even in the collected writings or the canon, but solely in our perspective. ... I simply want to emphasize that I in no way regard the plurality and the clearly recognizable syncretism of the Old Testament tradition as a disaster, but as an extraordinary stroke of good fortune.
The diversity of the theologies opens up for us a view of other peoples, times and ideas of God; it relieves us of any pressure to look anxiously for the one, unhistorical, immutable, absolutely obligatory notion and guideline in the ups and downs of histories and theologies." (from chapter 1) |
