Der Tyroszyklus des Ezechielbuches

The present study is devoted to an exact analysis of the Oracles against Tyre in the Book of Ezekiel, which are handed down in the Old Testament in Ez 26-28. The first main section locates the Old Testament text within literary history. The second section reconstructs the history of the coastal city of Tyre in the 1st millennium BC, using the Oracles against Tyre from the Book of Ezekiel as a source for the reconstruction of this history. A third section examines the image of Tyre and its development in the Old Testament as a whole.
