How did people in ancient Israel perceive God, the world, and themselves? And what significance does Old Testament aesthetics have for us today? In this book, the term "aesthetics" is understood in its original sense of aisthesis, "perception." Following an introduction to the history of the concept and of research, the subject is developed comprehensively on the basis of fundamental concepts (beauty, glory, etc.), sensorimotor aspects (sense perceptions, colors, sounds), emotional dimensions (feelings, empathy), and cognitive aspects (recollection, memory), as well as the central thematic fields of experience of the world, perception of God, and self-perception. The distinctive character of Old Testament aesthetics lies in resonant relationships to God and to the world, whereby the world does not remain silent for the perceiving self but "responds" to it in manifold ways - as succinctly expressed in the metaphor of the "listening heart" (1 Kgs 3:9) and in the motif of the visibility of the invisible (Exod 3:1-6). The present study is divided into four main parts and ten subsections, supplemented by two appendices containing selected texts on Old Testament aesthetics from Gen 1 to Eccl 12, as well as 150 textual and visual sources on ancient aesthetics from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Northern Syria/Palestine, Greece, Rome, ancient Judaism, the New Testament, early Christianity, and the Qur'an.
