Martin Rösel shows how the title 'lord' was used in biblical texts from the 8th century BCE on. Its oldest use is related to the 'lord' of a temple or a sanctuary. It is here that the prophetic visions speak of having seen »my lord« (Amos 7–9; Isaiah 6). Psalms and prayers dedicated to the lord prove that the speakers were hoping for and trusting in God's power. The author includes material from outside the Bible and also considers the Qumran findings, thus making an important contribution to the project of a biblical theology.
