Prophecy was a wide-spread phenomenon in the ancient world - not
only in ancient Israel but in the whole Eastern Mediterranean
cultural sphere. This is demonstrated by documents from the ancient
Near East, that have been the object of Martti Nissinen's research
for more than twenty years. Nissinen's studies have had a formative
influence on the study of the prophetic phenomenon. The present
volume presents a selection of thirty-one essays, bringing together
essential aspects of prophetic divination in the ancient Near East.
The first section of the volume discusses prophecy from theoretical
perspectives. The second sections contains studies on prophecy in
texts from Mari and Assyria and other cuneiform sources. The third
section discusses biblical prophecy in its ancient Near Eastern
context, while the fourth section focuses on prophets and prophecy
in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. Even prophecy in the Dead Sea
Scrolls is discussed in the fifth section. The articles are
essential reading for anyone studying ancient prophetic phenomenon.
