This selection of articles argues that the Old Testament is not exclusively a book about history but is dominated by interests in theology both as literature and as an expression of the community in which biblical writings originated.
This selection of articles – never published in English before – reflects the author’s position that the basic realization of minimalism has always been evident: that the Old Testament is not – exclusively – a book about history but is dominated by interests in theology both as literature and as an expression of the community in which biblical writings originated. It is a companion volume to his 2022 book Back to Reason: Minimalism in Biblical Studies and both gives an impression of the progress of biblical studies over the last generation or two but also presents a series of new ideas about subjects such as cultural memory, the redaction of Psalms, the importance of prophetic literature also for Christian theology and much more.

Niels Peter Lemche, has been publishing in the field of Old Testament studies for fifty years. He has been both Assistant Professor at Aarhus University, Denmark, from 1978 to 1986 and Professor of Theology at the University of Copenhagen from 1987 to 2013. He is the founder and present editor of the Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament (since 1987), and a member of the board of the Copenhagen International Seminar (Routledge). He has recently edited (in co-operation with Dr. Jim West) Jeremiah in History and Tradition (Routledge, 2019).
