The Latter Prophets-Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Book of the
Twelve-comprise a fascinating collection of prophetic oracles,
narratives, and vision reports from ancient Israel and Judah.
Spanning centuries and showing evidence of compositional growth and
editorial elaboration over time, these prophetic books offer an
unparalleled view into the cultural norms, theological convictions,
and political disputes of Israelite communities caught in the
maelstrom of militarized conflicts with the empires of ancient
Egypt, Babylonia, and Persia. Instructive for scholar and student
alike, The Oxford Handbook of the Prophets features wide-ranging
discussion of ancient Near Eastern social and cultic contexts;
exploration of focused topics such as the persona of the prophet
and the problem of violence in prophetic rhetoric; sophisticated
historical and literary analysis of key prophetic texts; issues in
reception history, from these texts' earliest reinterpretations at
Qumran to Christian appropriations in contemporary homiletics;
feminist, materialist, and postcolonial readings engaging the
insights of influential contemporary theorists; and more. The
diversity of interpretive approaches, clarity of presentation, and
breadth of expertise represented here will make this Handbook
indispensable for research and teaching on the Latter Prophets.
