"Juda wird aufsteigen!"

About this book
The study deals with a key passage within the composition of the historical books of the Old Testament and proposes a new solution to the problems of Judg 1. Using detailed literary critical analyses together with the context of historical editorial considerations beyond the limits of the book itself, the author proves that the peculiar report of the occupation of land in Judg 1 never existed independently - in the sense of a "negative inventory" - but from its inception was written as a pro-Judaic programmatic text for its literary context. Thus Judg 1 cannot be used as a source for the early history of Israel.

Reviews
"Die Arbeit (...) zeichnet sich sowohl durch die Strenge und Bündigkeit ihres Stils als auch durch die Prägnanz und Klarheit ihrer Thesen aus. (...) Insgesamt hat R. eine gründliche exegetische Studie vorgelegt, die auf eine markante These hinausläuft und zugleich denkwürdige redaktionsgeschichtliche Mutmaßungen anregt."
In: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 2/2010
"Like most Göttingen dissertations, this one is painstakingly researched, carfully argued, and elegantly written."
Michael S. Moore in: The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 70/ 2008
