Text as Revelation analyses the shift of revelatory experiences
from oral to written that is described in ancient Jewish
literature, including rabbinic texts. The individual essays seek to
understand how, why, and for whom texts became the locus of
revelation. While the majority of the contributors analyze ancient
Jewish literature for depictions of oral and written revelation,
such as the Hebrew Bible and the literature of the Second Temple
era, a number of articles also investigate textualization of
revelation in cognate cultures, analyzing Egyptian, Mesopotamian
and Greek sources. With subjects ranging from Ancient Egyptian and
Sibylline oracles to Hellenistic writings and the books of Isaiah,
Deuteronomy and Jeremiah, the studies in this volume bring together
established and new voices reflecting on the issues raised by the
interplay between writing and (divinatory) revelation.
