This volume addresses the function and impact of vision and dream
accounts in the Hebrew Bible. The contributors explore the
exegetical, rhetorical, and structural aspects of the vision and
dream accounts in the Hebrew Bible, focusing on prophetic vision
reports. Several contributors employ a diachronic approach as they
explore the textual relationship between the vision reports and the
oracular material. Others focus on the rhetorical aspects of the
vision reports in their final form and discuss why vision reporting
may be used to convey a message. Another approach employed looks at
reception history and investigates how this type of text has been
understood by past exegetes. A few chapters consider the
inter-textual relationship of the various vision reports in the
Hebrew Bible, focusing on shared themes and motifs. There are also
papers that deal with the ways in which select texts in the Hebrew
Bible portray dream/vision interpreters and their activities.
