Traditions in Collision

Beschreibung

Eine Untersuchung der ältesten Elia-Erzählungen im Kontext des deuteronomistischen Geschichtswerks, die zwei verschiedenen Überlieferungssträngen zugeordnet werden können.
This work concerns the Deuteronomistic history and the earliest traditions dealing with Elijah. It analyzes the literary history of 1 Kings 17–19:18 in its different parts which were originally composed by different authors and editors. Some of the tensions in these traditions are severe enough to be described as “collisions”: Yahweh is manifested through fire in one passage, though this is contradicted in another passage. The narrative concerning drought in Israel is interrupted by a story about rival sacrifices which has nothing to do with the original theme. On the other hand, Elijah’s sacrifice on Mt. Carmel seems to contradict the Deuteronomistic idea of centralization of the cult. If this tradition originated before Josiah’s reform, as is sometimes suggested, what about its monotheistic theology, which otherwise cannot be identified in this early period?
