Die Anfänge der biblischen Bundestheologie liegen im Dunkeln. Welche Rolle kommt dabei dem Buch Hosea mit seinen fünf ברית-Belegen zu? Die offenen Fragen um die Bundestheologie und um die Genese der Hoseaschrift verlangen nach Antworten auf mehrere Probleme. Das Verhältnis von Gerichts- und Heilsprophetie in Israel und in der Umwelt ist zu vertiefen. Unerlässlich ist die Klärung von Begriffen wie „Vereinbarung, Vertrag, Kontrakt, Bund, Testament“. Die Nomenklatur in juristischen, sozialpsychologischen und narratologischen Fachdiskussionen deckt eine anthropologische Veranlagung auf, Vereinbarungen zu schließen. Altorientalische Textzeugnisse belegen Bünde zwischen Göttern und Menschen. Die Ehe-Metaphorik in der Hosea-Schrift sowie die Anspielungen auf altorientalische Vertragsflüche verdeutlichen das göttliche Interesse an verlässlichen Beziehungen. Das Motiv des Umkehrens, die Beziehung von Gott und Israel als „verwandtschaftliches“ Verhältnis, die Leistung des Bundesmotivs auf synchroner und diachroner Ebene sowie der Bund mit der Tierwelt bilden Etappen einer sich entfaltenden Bundestheologie, angefangen mit Sanktionen, wie sie im 8. Jh. von Eides- und Landesgöttern befürchtet wurden, bis hin zu eschatologischen Heilsankündigungen aus der Perserzeit.

A double portrait of two of America’s most influential writers that reveals the surprising connections between them—and their uncanny relevance to our age of crisisUp from the Depths tells the interconnected stories of two of the most important writers in American history—the novelist and poet Herman Melville (1819–1891) and one of his earliest biographers, the literary critic and historian Lewis Mumford (1895–1990). Deftly cutting back and forth between the writers, Aaron Sachs reveals the surprising resonances between their lives, work, and troubled times—and their uncanny relevance in our own age of crisis.The author of Moby-Dick was largely forgotten for several decades after his death, but Mumford helped spearhead Melville’s revival in the aftermath of World War I and the 1918–1919 flu pandemic, when American culture needed a forebear with a suitably dark vision. As Mumford’s career took off and he wrote books responding to the machine age, urban decay, world war, and environmental degradation, it was looking back to Melville’s confrontation with crises such as industrialization, slavery, and the Civil War that helped Mumford to see his own era clearly. Mumford remained obsessed with Melville, ultimately helping to canonize him as America’s greatest tragedian. But largely forgotten today is one of Mumford’s key insights—that Melville’s darkness was balanced by an inspiring determination to endure.Amid today’s foreboding over global warming, racism, technology, pandemics, and other crises, Melville and Mumford remind us that we’ve been in this struggle for a long time. To rediscover these writers today is to rediscover how history can offer hope in dark times.
