Description
Summary:The author deals with the chronological development of Gerhard von Rad's hermeneutics. Gerhard von Rad had already begun to focus on a holistic method of interpretation between 1930 and 1940. In terms of literary criticism, he read the whole bible as a book, i.e. as a narrative work of art rather than a complex literary history of different religious or theological texts and traditions. In 1943, von Rad developed a system of reconstructing the history of salvation, and then revised this system in his 'Theology of the Old Testament' (1957—1969). In this, the scriptures of the prophetic tradition are excluded from the rest of the biblical narrative. In his last book, 'Wisdom in Israel', written in 1970, von Rad dissociated himself from this system and maintained that there was no longer a single concept of the history of salvation as a narrative structure in the entire bible.
