Rezensionen
"Zu einem wichtigen Themenbereich ein anregender, weiterführender Sammelband, dem Verbreitung und gute Aufnahme zu wünschen sind - und damit verbunden die Hoffnung, dass die Camps der biblischen und der nachbiblisch-antikjüdischen Erforschung von Psalmen und Gebeten stärker miteinander ins Gespräch finden."
Beate Weber in: Theologische Revue 114.4 (2018), 291-293
