E-raamat: Yahuwah and the Temple Prophets: A Bibliometric Biography of Sigmund Mowinckel

What if one of the most influential Old Testament scholars of the twentieth century has not yet been fully understood In Yahuwah and the Temple Prophets: A Bibliometric Biography of Sigmund Mowinckel, Antony Hylton offers a groundbreaking study of the Norwegian scholar who transformed modern Psalms research. Best known for his monumental Psalmenstudien and his theory of Kultprophetie (cult prophecy), Sigmund Mowinckel reshaped how scholars understand the Psalms, the Temple, prophetic ministry, and Israel's liturgical life.But this is not a conventional biography.Using a bibliometric method—tracing publication history, citation patterns, and scholarly reception—Hylton reconstructs the intellectual legacy of Mowinckel across more than a century of biblical scholarship. From the Enthronement Festival debate to the composition of Jeremiah and Deutero-Isaiah, from cultic prophecy to the controversial question of the pronunciation of the divine name, this book reveals how Mowinckel's ideas continue to influence theology, philology, and historical-critical research.At the same time, the volume offers a fresh contemporary engagement with Mowinckel's work, exploring the relationship between prophets and Levites, Temple liturgy and inspiration, and the enduring theological implications of the divine name.Scholarly yet readable, this book is essential for students of Old Testament studies, biblical theology, Psalms scholarship, and the history of modern biblical interpretation.
