The 18 essays by members of the Canadian Society for Biblical
Studies published in this volume showcase the work of leading
authorities on ancient Israelite and Jewish historiography as it
intersects with the phenomenon of prophecy. A deep divide exists
between the traditions of historiography and prophecy in the
academic study of the Hebrew Bible, and the concern of the
contributors is to close that gap, to expose the close relationship
between these two traditions in the literature of the Hebrew Bible.
The first section of the book explores prophecy and prophets in
ancient Israelite and Jewish historiographic books (Torah,
Deuteronomistic History, Chronicles, Ezra-Nehemiah, Second Temple
Jewish historiography). The second section surveys historiography
in Israelite and Jewish prophetic books (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Book of the Twelve, Daniel, 1 Enoch). The contributors engage
diverse methodological perspectives in these studies, the goal
first being to show the role that the prophets played within the
great Hebrew historiographic works and, second, to demonstrate the
role that historiography plays within the great Hebrew prophetic
works; this makes it clear that the influence is bidirectional.
Prophets, Prophecy, and Ancient Israelite Historiography will be of
value for advanced students and scholars working on historiographic
and prophetic materials in the ancient Israelite and Jewish
traditions, featuring the best of research and analysis and
interacting with many major ancient literary traditions of
historiography and prophecy.
