Das gezähmte Chaos und die göttliche Gabe der Fruchtbarkeit. Naturmotivik in der althebräischen Königsideologie und ihre Transformation in der heilsgeschichtlichen Theologie des Alten Testaments

在第一个资助期内，该项目调查了以色列和犹大的君主统治在多大程度上利用自然图案作为自我合法化的手段。在这一阶段，该项目还分析了这些概念的后君主制转变（例如申命记32; 1 Henoch 52;和其他文本）。在第二个供资期内，将更深入地调查这一转变。该项目将侧重于为以色列作为一个神权国家制定一部理想宪法的后流亡期望。根据第一个资助期的结果，两个研究领域表明自己是一个合乎逻辑的延续：（1）以色列部落生活在一个拥有丰富生育力的国家的愿景（特别是创49;申命记33），和（2）恢复君主制秩序的乌托邦愿景，其中自然在被王国的垮台带入混乱之后返回到救赎甚至天堂的状态（例如，伊萨11; Am 9; Mic 4）。

In the first funding period, the project investigated to what extent monarchic rule in Israel and Judah made use of nature motifs as a means of self-legitimation. During this phase, the project also analyzed the post-monarchic transformation of these concepts (e.g. Deut 32; 1Henoch 52; and other texts). This transformation shall be investigated more deeply during the second funding period. The project will focus on the post-exilic expectations for developing an ideal constitution for Israel as a theocratic state. Based upon the results of the first funding period, two fields of research suggest themselves as a logical continuation: (1) visions of Israel¿s tribes living within a country blessed by abundant fertility (esp. Gen 49; Deut 33), and (2) the utopian visions of a restored monarchic order, in which nature returns to a salvific and even Paradisian state after being brought into chaos by the downfall of the kingdom (e.g., Isa 11; Am 9; Mic 4).
