In this original study, Dr Davis argues that Ezekiel's place in the
history of prophecy is overdue for reassessment. As against current
views that Ezekiel represents the collapse of prophetism into
priestly and scribal forms, she argues that something radically
different in prophecy begins with Ezekiel. Ezekiel represents the
creation of a new literary idiom for prophecy. He develops an
archival speech form oriented less toward current events than to
reshaping the tradition. He has taken a step backward from direct
confrontation with an audience as the basic dynamic of
communication, and has made the medium of prophecy not the person
of the prophet but the text. Like the postexilic prophets, Ezekiel
participated in the transformation of the social role of prophecy,
and thereby saved himself from oblivion.
