Der vorliegende Band stellt die Entwicklung einer sich auf aktuelle hermeneutische Theorien beziehenden theologischen Lesestrategie vor. Auf dieser Grundlage wird die sog. Urgeschichte Gen 1-11 aus kanonischer Perspektive als einheitlicher Text gelesen, der durch das Prisma seiner Textualität gebrochen wird. This book presents the development of a theological reading strategy in conversation with contemporary hermeneutical theories. Using that as a model, Gen 1-11 is read as a unified text refracted through the prism of textuality from a canonical approach.
