Background

As a good foundation for our work we need to get a better understanding of the following topics:

• What was the historical situation of the first readers?
  • Which topics might be addressed?
  • How would they read it?
• What type of literature are we reading?
  • Do we need to take everything literally?
  • Or rather symbolic?
  • How does it help us to understand the emphasis of the writer?
• What is the structure of the book?
  • When does a new section start?
  • What is the key statement of a section?
• As a topper:
  • We need a better understanding of the role of Israel
