| Summary: | The article reads the invention of the Exodus-Narrative in its historical context of the religious and political system of the Ancient Near East. It reconstructs the revolutionary different approach to political power and theological foundation in the development of the Moses- and Exodus-Narrative and its innerbiblical Fortschreibung. For this development, it is most decisive that the Exodus-Narrative is not based on a historical migration- movement from point A to point B, but located in a historical confrontation with the political powers at that time. The foundation of a strict monotheistic understanding of theology and the invention of a "textual authority" that diverged from the status of scripture in the Ancient Near East and which can be reconstructed through the structure of the Exodus-Narrative and its canonical form as the Torah of Moses, has laid the foundation for the identity of Israel and the basis for the three Monotheistic Religions. The article!s argument is development strictly in correspondence with contemporary exegetical and historical research (esp. E. Otto and Chr. Dohmen) and is brought together with contemporary accounts to political thought from poststructuralist and deconstructive philosophers like Derrida, Levinas, Badiou and Agamben. The outcome of this study is articulated as a contribution to an affirmative reading of the so-called "crisis of representation". |
