When the Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament was first published in 1987, it was expected to become the principal forum of Scandinavian Old Testament research. Reality has surpassed the expectations of the founders, as Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament is rapidly becoming one of the major outlets of international Old Testament scholarship, although without losing its specific Scandinavian character.

Contributions by leading scholars have in recent years changed the scholarly understanding of the history of Israel. Such contributions have often been published in the Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament, including the editor’s “The Old Testament—A Hellenistic Book?” (Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament 7, 1993) that opened up for a totally new direction in the discussion about the origins of the Old Testament. In this capacity the Scandinavian Journal of the Old Testament has become one of the principal outlets of the so-called “Copenhagen School of Old Testament Studies.” But its scope has never been limited to only one position of Old Testament studies, and articles by scholars from all parts of the world and representing almost every position as to Old Testament studies are published in the Scandinavian Journal of Old Testament Studies.

当《斯堪的纳维亚旧约杂志》于1987年首次出版时，它有望成为斯堪的那维亚旧约研究的主要论坛。现实已经超出了创始人的预期，因为《斯堪的纳维亚旧约杂志》正迅速成为国际旧约学术的主要渠道之一，尽管它没有失去其独特的斯堪的那维亚特色。

近年来，顶尖学者的贡献改变了学术界对以色列历史的理解。这些贡献经常发表在《斯堪的纳维亚旧约杂志》上，包括编辑的《旧约——一本希腊化的书？》（《斯堪地纳维亚旧约期刊》1993年第7期），为讨论旧约的起源开辟了一个全新的方向。《斯堪的纳维亚旧约杂志》以此身份成为所谓的“哥本哈根旧约研究学派”的主要渠道之一。但其范围从未局限于旧约研究的一个立场，来自世界各地的学者发表的文章几乎代表了旧约研究的每一个立场。
