The study deals with a key passage within the composition of the historical books of the Old Testament and proposes a new solution to the problems of "Judg 1". Using detailed literary critical analyses together with the context of historical editorial considerations beyond the limits of the book itself, the author proves that the peculiar report of the occupation of land in "Judg 1" never existed independently - in the sense of a "negative inventory" - but from its inception was written as a pro-Judaic programmatic text for its literary context. Thus "Judg 1" cannot be used as a source for the early history of Israel.

Review
"Die Arbeit (...) zeichnet sich sowohl durch die Strenge und B ndigkeit ihres Stils als auch durch die Pr gnanz und Klarheit ihrer Thesen aus. (...) Insgesamt hat R. eine gr ndliche exegetische Studie vorgelegt, die auf eine markante These hinausl uft und zugleich denkw rdige redaktionsgeschichtliche Mutma ungen anregt."In: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 2/2010 "Like most G ttingen dissertations, this one is painstakingly researched, carfully argued, and elegantly written."Michael S. Moore in: The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 70/2008
