Abstract: "After reviewing in Canticles and other OT encounters between the sexes (c.g. in Genesis and 1-2 Samuel) and explores human beauty with reference to kingdoms outside Israel, Saul, David, the king and the royal family, and postexilic ideas of kingship. The final section treats the beautiful person in Hellenistic-Jewish writings with their mixture of OT and Greek elements. The study is a revised and slightly abbreviated version of a doctoral dissertation directed by C. Westermann and accepted by the Evangelical theological faculty at Heidelberg in 1980."
