Israels Exil in Juda - Untersuchungen zur entstehung der Schriftprophetie

Schütte examines the historical conditions under which the early prophetic literature preserved in the Bible could arise. He understands all references to "Israel" to point to former inhabitants of the Israelite kingdom, who after 722 bce took refuge as exiles in Judah, and analyzes the subsequent development of the biblical concept of "Israel". The concept's literary-historical starting-point is explained in terms of an "insider literature" produced by the Israelite exiles living in post-722 Judah, whose anonymous audience can still be recognized in coherently preserved units of speech in the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible.
