The creed in the Passover Haggadah

Publication at Hussite Theological Faculty |
2012

Abstract

The creed in the Passover Haggadah is based on the Small historical creed (in the Passover Haggadah is only Dt 26:5-8). This Tora's text is a festive and binding script of a religious service (liturgy), specifically that of thanksgiving for crops, in particular the ceremony accompanying the presentation of first fruits in the temple.

It is based on salvation formula, and land donation formula, that are voiced by the narrator as a summary of what the people are supposed to believe in or with what kind of faith they may come before God.
