Translation of Grundriss der alttestamentlichen Theologie.
I. FUNDAMENTALS -- The revealed name -- Yahweh, God of Israel since Egypt -- Yahweh, God of the fathers: The promise -- Yahweh, Creator and King -- The election of Israel -- Yahweh, God of Sinai: Covenant and commandment --
II. THE GIFTS BESTOWED BY YAHWEH -- War and victory -- The land and its blessings -- The gift of God's presence -- Charismata of leadership and instruction --
III. YAHWEH'S COMMANDMENT -- The location, terminology, and nature of the commandments -- The first commandment -- The prohibition against images (and against misusing the name of God) -- Liturgical and ritual commandments --
IV. LIFE BEFORE GOD -- The response of obedience -- Israel's sacrificial worship: Praise of Yahweh and cry for help -- Mastery of everyday life and its concrete secrets (wisdom) --
V. CRISIS AND HOPE -- Humanity between judgment and salvation (primal history) -- The crisis of Israel in the historical narratives -- Judgment and salvation in the preaching of the great literary prophets -- Old Testament Apocalypticism -- The openness of the Old Testament message.
During the period that the Old Testament came into being, Israel, from who whose world the documents contained in the Old Testament derive, underwent many changes, especially in its sociological structures. Such changes produce changes in liturgical life, resulting finally in the elimination of a multiplicity of sanctuaries and focusing on Jerusalem.Walther Zimmerli suggests that a presentation of Old Testament theology cannot close its eyes to all this movement and change. This classic study expertly outlines the essential religious structures and tensions of the Old Testament.
