    The formation of psalms 1–3 and the arrangement of the hebrew psalter

    This monograph analyzes the literary functions of Psalms 1-3. Eric McDonnell argues that Ps 1 and 2 constitute a two-part preface, added later to an earlier collection beginning with Ps 3. By applying the concept of "iterative play," he demonstrates how ancient scribes reused traditional texts to...

  • Yhwh's diversity

    The diversity of the known YHWH names and the fact that there is no specific YHWH iconography lead to the thesis that there were different origins of YHWH and regional manifestations of this god before the exile. The polyyahwistic and polyiconographic approach to Yahwism reveals a mosaic of regio...

  • Forgetting to remember

    Jenna Kemp theorizes the formation of the Bible as a process of cultural memory in which forgetting is central. By examining secondary additions, it situates biblical scribes as figures who mediate the memory of texts. They remember text, add to it, and change how it can be remembered in the future.
