This scholarly work critically examines whether the Hebrew Bible contains theology in its own right, independent of later interpretive frameworks. It begins by tracing the historical development of the concept of "theology," from its origins in Greek philosophy through its evolution in Christian and Jewish traditions. The study then explores how various texts within the Hebrew Bible exhibit theological reflection, focusing on themes such as the theologization of law, prophetic literature, political history, and the Psalter. By analyzing these elements, the work argues that the Hebrew Bible engages in implicit theological discourse, shaped by its historical and cultural contexts. This approach offers a nuanced perspective on the nature of theology within the Hebrew scriptures, contributing to broader discussions in biblical studies. Show less
