JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) The Formation of the 'Book' of Psalms: Reconsidering the Transmission and Canonization of Psalmody in Light of Material Culture and the Poetics of Anthologies
In this study, David Willgren attempts to provide answers to two fundamental questions in relation to the formation of the 'Book' of Psalms: "how?" and "why?". The first relates to the diachronic growth of the collection (how are these processes to be reconstructed, and on what grounds?), while the second relates to questions of purpose (to what end are psalms being juxtaposed in a collection?).By conceptualizing the 'Book' of Psalms as an anthology, and by inquiring into its poetics by means of paratextuality, David Willgren provides a fresh reconstruction of the formation of the 'Book' of Psalms and concludes, in contrast to the canonical approach, that it does not primarily provide a literary context for individual psalms. Rather, it preserves a dynamic selection of psalms that is best seen not as a book of psalms, but as a canon of psalms.This work was awarded with SEK 50.000 by The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities as a "" (förtjänt vetenskapligt arbete).

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Sin, Suffering, and the Problem of Evil
This volume discusses the topics of sin, suffering, and evil in the Hebrew Bible. It gathers fresh and innovative perspectives provided by internationally renowned biblical scholars that not only demonstrate ways in which these topics are dealt with in the Hebrew Bible itself, but also map out their lasting impact on human experience of suffering throughout history. Put into dialogue with the thought-provoking work of Fredrik Lindström, the volume provides a diversity of methodological approaches to the question of human suffering and God's role in it, ranging from discussions of monism in the Hebrew Bible, through deconstructive readings of evil in the Exodus narrative, to the processing of suffering at the Dachau concentration camp, and ways that the dynamics of good and evil might play out in a technological future dominated by artificial intelligence.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Intertextualität und die Entstehung des Psalters: Methodische Reflexionen - Theologiegeschichtliche Perspektiven
In der Psalmenforschung hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten überkonfessionell und international eine Neuorientierung stattgefunden: Psalmenexegese wird ergänzt durch Psalterexegese. Dabei wird der Zusammenhang von Intertextualität und der Entstehung des Psalters hervorgehoben, aber auch das Verhältnis des masoretischen Textes zu den Psalmen in Qumran und in der Septuaginta kritisch in den Blick genommen.Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge einer internationalen Konferenz, die im April 2018 an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München stattfand. Alle Aufsätze bieten Einblicke in aktuelle Fragen nach der Komposition und Intention des Psalters. Neben grundlegenden methodischen Reflexionen präsentiert der Band neue theologiegeschichtliche Perspektiven zur Erhellung der Entstehung des Psalters.
