Das Buch untersucht die unter der Bezeichnung "Konfessionen Jeremias" bekannten Gebete (Jer 11,18-12,6; 15,10-21; 17,14-18; 18,18-23; 20,7-18) aus redaktionskritischer Perspektive. Anstatt direkt auf die Einzeltexte zuzugreifen und in einem zweiten Schritt nach ihrem Weg ins Jeremiabuch zu fragen, wird der umgekehrte Weg gewahlt.

The Psalms of Solomon, the most important early psalm book outside the canonical psalter, reflects the turmoil of events in the last pre-Christian century and gives an apparently eyewitness account of the first invasions of the Romans into Jerusalem. The Psalm of Solomon provides the most detailed expectation of the Jewish Messiah before the New Testament.

His study concludes that the...
