N2 - The years 1900-1950 were a fruitful and productive periodin Old Testament research in the Nordic countries. Represented byinternationally renowned figures like Johannes Pedersen, SigmundMowinckel, and Ivan Engnell, Scandinavian Old Testament scholarshipgained an independent profile over against the German and Anglo-Saxon realms. This article explores themes of central importanceto Nordic scholars in this period, and attempts to spell out some ofthe more significant nuances and differences among them. Finally, Iraise the question to which extent we can meaningfully speak of tendenciesand features common to Scandinavian Old Testament scholars1900-1950, and whether such tendencies reflect more general culturaltrends of their time. I tentatively point to some common denominators:A comparative approach that takes seriously the ancient Near Easterncontext of the Old Testament texts, a marked emphasis on cultic perspectives,and an interest in the role played by orality in the formationof Old Testament literary genres and texts. Despite some very differentaccents put by various scholars, these points may be described as characteristicof Scandinavian scholarship in the period.
