520 |a The article focusses on the question when the text of Scripture became fixed and unchangeable, on the practice of actualising the received text, and on exegesis as a charismatic activity or even a kind of divination. Understanding the meaning of God's Word was not a matter of establishing the original, historical meaning of the text, but of letting Scripture become part of the present life of the readers. This is probably the reason why the text of Scripture remained fluid for so long. Furthermore, Scripture by itself was not seen as the complete revelation of God's Word. For Christians it was completed when read in the light of the Christ event; for Qumran, when read in the light of their eschatological revelations. The same is true for rabbinical Judaism: Scripture was read together with the oral Torah, and the work of discovering the will of God remained an open-ended task, even after the letters of the text were fixed.
