Book Synopsis
The starting point for Judith Gärtner's study is the observation that the psalm group of the Egyptian Hallel (Ps 113-118) was already perceived as a literary unit in ancient times and is still recited today, especially on the Seder evening of the Jewish Passover festival. Against this background, the study aims to raise the common theological themes of the Psalms group and to ask how the Psalms group came into being in terms of literary history. Central is the question of YHWH as the only powerful God, which is conceptually differently nuanced in the respective Psalms and developed both historically and anthropologically. Gärtner can show that in the dynamic of the sequential reading from Ps 113 to Ps 118 a differentiated monotheistic confession arises, so that the Egyptian Hallel can be described as a small compendium of late Psalm theology.
