eBook
Prophets, Prophecy, and Ancient Israelite Historiography
2013
Overview
The 18 essays by members of the Canadian Society for Biblical
Studies published in this volume showcase the work of leading
authorities on ancient Israelite and Jewish historiography as it
intersects with the phenomenon of prophecy. A deep divide exists
between the traditions of historiography and prophecy in the
academic study of the Hebrew Bible, and the concern of the
contributors is to close that gap, to expose the close relationship
between these two traditions in the literature of the Hebrew
Bible.
The first section of the book explores prophecy and prophets in
ancient Israelite and Jewish historiographic books (Torah,
Deuteronomistic History, Chronicles, Ezra-Nehemiah, Second Temple
Jewish historiography). The second section surveys historiography
in Israelite and Jewish prophetic books (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Book of the Twelve, Daniel, 1 Enoch ). The contributors
engage diverse methodological perspectives in these studies, the
goal first being to show the role that the prophets played within
the great Hebrew historiographic works and, second, to demonstrate
the role that historiography plays within the great Hebrew
prophetic works; this makes it clear that the influence is
bidirectional.
Prophets, Prophecy, and Ancient Israelite
Historiography will be of value for advanced students and
scholars working on historiographic and prophetic materials in the
ancient Israelite and Jewish traditions, featuring the best of
research and analysis and interacting with many major ancient
literary traditions of historiography and prophecy.
