»Ein reines Herz schaffe mir, Gott!« Zum Verständnis des Menschen nach Ps 51
Jahrgang 102 (2005) / Heft 3, S. 293-311 (19)
The anthropology of Ps 51 is characterized by the awareness of total sin which can only be abolished by a re-creation of personal substance by God. Ps 51 conveys ideas to the individual religious person which in the prophecy concern the people as a whole. The anthropological concept of Ps 51 differs from a concept which binds sin to the finiteness of man.
