Document Details : Title: Psalm 65 as Non-Appropriation Theology Author(s): VAN WIERINGEN, A.L.H.M. Journal: Biblica Volume: 95 Issue: 2 Date: 2014 Pages: 179-197 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.95.2.3186109 Abstract : The biblical perspective that a receiver of God's promises is not allowed to claim these promises is called non-appropriation theology. Psalm 65 can be read as an example of this non-appropriation theology. The 'I'-character does not claim the fertile Land but can only speak about the abundance of the harvest of their wheat (v. 10). The heading of Psalm 65, identifying the 'I'-character as David, preserves the non-appropriation theology. This non-appropriation theology is retained in the reception-history of Psalm 65, as can be found in the Septuagint and the liturgical use of Psalm 65 in the funeral Mass. |
