Product Description English Summary: Children Are Often The Victims Of Violence In The Old Testament, And In Most Instances God Bears The Responsibility For These Acts Of Violence. In This Work, Andreas Michel Demonstrates That There Are Parallels Between Today'S Attitude Regarding These Acts And The Attitude Of The Greek Translators Of The Old Testament Who, Because They Could Not Bear The Thought Of God Permitting These Acts Of Violence, Simply Omitted Some Of These Incidents From Their Bible. In Order To Present Proof Of This, The Author Evaluates For The First Time All Those Negative Verbs Which Are Related To Violence And Which Have God As Their Subject. In Doing So, He Is Guided By The Presentation Of The Socalled Countertestimony In Walter Brueggemann'S Theology Of The Old Testament From 1997. In A Discussion Of Psalm 137 And Genesis 22, Two Texts Which Pertain Particularly To Violence Against Children, And Of Texts Concerning Cannibalism Of Children, The Author Reaches The Conclusion That The Biblical Image Of God, As Repulsive As It May Seem, Must Be Taken Seriously.German Description: Kinder Sind Im Alttestamentlichen Kontext In Einem Erschreckend Hohen Ausmass Opfer Tatsachlicher Oder Angekundigter Korperlicher Gewalt. Dabei Verblufft Die Starke Negative Involvierung Der Gottesfigur In Diese Gewaltszenarien. Andreas Michel Vergleicht Die Hebraischen Und Griechischen Fassungen Der Gewaltgegenkindertexte Textkritisch Mit Denjenigen Texten, In Denen Negative, Gewaltnahe Verben Mit Gottlichem Subjekt Verbunden Werden. Eine Eindruckliche Sammlung Dieser Verben Aus Dem Biblischen Countertestimony (Brueggemann 1997) Wird Hier Erstmals Prasentiert. Es Zeigt Sich, Dass Die Verbindung Von Egott' Und Egewalt' Schon Seit Fruhesten Zeiten Als Problematisch Empfunden Worden Ist, Freilich Nicht So Sehr Wegen Der Opfer, Den Kindern, Sondern Wegen Des Taters, Gott. In Exemplarischen Durchgangen Werden Drei Besonders Exponierte Gewaltgegenkinderkontexte Im Blick Auf Das Gottesbild Beleuchtet, Und Zwar Psalm 137 (Kinder Zerschlagen), Die Kinderkannibalismustexte (Kinder Essen) Und Genesis 22 (Kinder Opfern). Der Autor Pladiert Dafur, Sich Auch Mit Der Als Abstossend Empfundenen Abgrundigkeit Des Biblischen Gottes Auseinander Zu Setzen. About The Author Andreas Michel, Geboren 1963; Studium Der Katholischen Theologie, Der Geschichte Und Der Altorientalistik In Freiburg, Jerusalem Und Tubingen; 1997 Promotion; 2003 Habilitation; Wissenschaftlicher Angestellter An Der Universitat Mainz.
