This collection argues that the final form of prophetic texts
attempts a picture of stability; of a new world that emerges in the
aftermath of the turbulent experiences of Israel/Judah's history,
sustained by a coherent community and identity. The essays within
both describe and analyse the various categories of otherness in
prophetic literature which threaten such an identity, displaying
the complex and contradictory nature of such depictions --
particularly given the reality that these texts emerge from
communities considered other. The contributors provides an
interdisciplinary exploration of otherness that draws upon multiple
insights into the conception and expression of the other, beyond
obvious examples traditionally examined in Biblical Studies.
Touching upon the rhetoric associated with identity markers such as
space, race/ethnicity, gender and religious activity, Prophetic
Otherness allows for further consideration of the ethics of the
prophetic corpus, and its understanding of fairness and justice in
relation to broad communities.
