The reception of the Exodus tradition in the Psalter

Susan E. Gillingham applies a historical-critical and literary-critical reading to the Psalter as a whole in order to explore the overall shape of the five books.

description Susan E. Gillingham applies a historical-critical and literary-critical reading to the Psalter as a whole in order to explore the overall shape of the five books. In addition, the Jewish and Christian reception history of individual psalms (Pss 90–92; 105; 106) is analysed. Thus, the theological reflections combine two exegetical methods that dominate research in both the past and the present. Diachronic research results are revised and completed by a synchronic view. Several Psalms are connected with Exodus motifs. There are no Exodus motifs in the first and second books as they present personal prayers, but more occur in the following books. All together, four pairs of psalms are mentioned which are connected with each other by using Exodus Traditions. The overarching framework of Exodus traditions in psalmody is made visible by several examples.
