Zwischen Vor- und Nachgeschichte(n). Innerbiblische Rezeption als literarhistorischer Vorgang

Abstract

Within our discussion of methods and methodology, this essay aims to bridge inner-biblical reception and historical-critical method. Processes of literary reception can and should be integrated into an historical-critical exegesis and are able to raise its profile. A brief look at each method step serves as a search for clues where inner-biblical reception evidently, subtly or scantly considered played a role. This also has implications for methods of historical-critical exegesis, especially the shape of Literarkritik. To conclude, Ruth 1:20f. as a model bundles the different aspects.
