While there are many textbooks about the prophetic literature, most
have taken either a historical or literary approach to studying the
prophets. A Chorus of Prophetic Voices, by contrast, draws on both
historical and literary approaches by paying careful attention to
the prophets as narrative characters. It considers each unique
prophetic voice in the canon, in its fully developed literary form,
while also listening to what these voices say together about a
particular experience in Israel's story. It presents these four
scrollsaEURO"Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Book of the
TwelveaEURO"as works produced in the aftermath of destruction,
works that employ prophetic characters, and as the words uttered
during the crises. The prophetic literature became for Israel,
living in a context of dispersion and imperial domination, a
portable and adaptable resource at once both challenging and
comforting. This book provides the fullest picture available for
introducing students to the prophetic literature by valuing the
role of the original prophetic characters, the finished state of
the books that bear their names, the separate historical crises in
the life of Israel they address, and the aEUROoechorus of prophetic
voicesaEURO one hears when reading them as part of a coherent
literary corpus.
