| Summary |
Wie reagieren die zeitgenössischen biblische Texten auf die grundlegenden wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen der Perserzeit (6.-4. Jh. v.Chr.)? Peter Altmann untersucht die elementaren Wirtschaftskonzeptionen des alten Orients und früherer biblischer Texte, um zu zeigen, wie biblische Texte aus der Perserzeit mit solchen wirtschaftlichen Phänomenen umgehen. |
