Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel share much in common. They address
the pivotal times and topics associated with the last stages of the
monarchical history of Israel, and with the development of new
forms of communal and religious life through exile and beyond. One
important structural component of all three books is a substantial
section which concerns itself with a range of foreign nations,
commonly called the "Oracles against the Nations", which form the
focus of this book. These chapters together present the most
up-to-date scholarship on the oracles - an oft-neglected but
significant area in the study of the prophetic literature. The
particular characteristics of Isaiah, Jeremiah (both Masoretic Text
and Septuagint versions), and Ezekiel, are discussed showcasing the
unique issues pertinent to each book and the diverse methods used
to address them. These evident differences aside, the Oracles
Against the Nations are employed as a springboard in order to begin
the work of tracing similarities between the texts. By focusing on
these unique yet common sections, a range of interrelated themes
and issues of both content and method become noticeable: for
example, though not exhaustively, pattern, structure, language,
comparative history, archaeology, sociology, politics, literature,
imagery, theme, theology, and hermeneutical issues related to
today's context. As a result this collection presents a range of
cutting-edge approaches on these key prophetic books, and will
provide a basis for further comparative study and reflection.
