Scholars have attempted to discover why the name Elohim is used almost exclusively within Pss 42-83, and in particular they have attempted to identify the historical circumstances which explain this phenomenon. Traditionally, an original Yhwh was understood to have been replaced by Elohim. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrank-Lothar Hossfeld and the late Erich Zenger propose that the use of the title Elohim is theologically motivated, and they account for this phenomenon in their redaction-historical work. Wardlaw here builds upon their work (1) by integrating insights from Dell Hymes, William Miles Foley, and Susan Niditch with regard to oral-traditional cultures, and (2) by following the text-linguistic approach of Eep Talstra and Christof Hardmeier and listening to canonical texture as a faithful witness to Israel's religious traditions. Wardlaw proposes that the name Elohim within the Psalms is a theologically-laden term, and that its usage is related to pentateuchal traditions.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45083483832471,"sku":"9780567669155","price":4967.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780567669155.webp?v=1767142633","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/elohim-within-the-psalms-petitioning-the-creator-to-order-chaos-in-oral-derived-literature-9780567669155","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
