The long and complex history of reception and interpretation of the
Hebrew Bible / Old Testament through the ages, described in the
HBOT Project, is in the penultimate part volume III/1 pursued to
the nineteenth century s special situation with its new methods and
problems. Due to an increased historical knowledge in many fields
and an expanding cultural context, the phenomenon of history became
the object of an as yet unsurpassed fascination; history was the
new key concept partly in form of a historicism . With regard to
biblical studies in general and the interpretation of the Hebrew
Bible/Old Testament in particular a decisive historical-critical
approach came into focus, which generated tension between this new
method and the traditional scriptural interpretation of the Church
and in turn also relatively severe controversies between opposing
fronts.
