This volume brings together experts in the study of ancient prayers
and divination methods to analyse the variety of means by which
human beings sought to communicate with their gods and by which the
gods were seen to communicate with their worshippers. In a
departure from previous scholarship, the volume brings together the
study of prophecy, as an intuitive form of divination, with the
study of technical methods of communication and other forms of
institutionalised communication such as prayer.
Such a format allows divine-human communication to be studied in
both directions simultaneously: the means by which the divine
communicates to human beings through divination, and the means by
which human beings communicate with the divine through prayer. This
new perspective on the study of divine-human-divine communication
allows scholars to better appreciate the way in which communication
and the relationship between heaven and earth was conceived in the
ancient near East.
