English summary: Scholarly research on the Bible is one of the main tasks of theology, and the history of this research is an interesting piece of scholarly and cultural history. In these essays, Rudolf Smend outlines the entire progress of this research and deals with leading exegetes as well as with famous outsiders, with research centers such as Basel and Greifswald and with such basic problems as the Bible and politics, biblical criticism and philosophy or the possibility of a 'post-critical' interpretation. Against the backdrop of a discussion which has been going on for generations, the author comments on the controversial issue regarding how much we can learn about ancient Israel from reading the Old Testament. German description: Die wissenschaftliche Arbeit an der Bibel gehort zu den zentralen Aufgaben der Theologie, ihre Geschichte ist aber auch ein hochinteressantes Stuck der Wissenschafts- und Geistesgeschichte. Rudolf Smend skizziert in den hier gesammelten Aufsatzen ihren Gesamtverlauf und beschaftigt sich eingehend mit massgebenden Exegeten wie J. Wellhausen, S. Mowinckel, M. Noth und G. v. Rad, aber auch mit beruhmten Aussenseitern wie G.E. Lessing, Thomas Mann und Karl Barth, mit Zentren der Forschung wie Basel und Greifswald und mit den Grundproblemen wie Bibel und Politik, Bibelkritik und Philosophie oder der Moglichkeit einer 'nachkritischen' Schriftauslegung. Auf dem Hintergrund einer seit Generationen andauernden Diskussion nimmt der Autor zu der heute heiss umstrittenen Frage Stellung, wieviel wir aus dem Alten Testament noch vom alten Israel erkennen konnen.
