The Book of the Twelve Prophets contains an abundance of passages
that discuss ancient cities (Samaria, Bet-El, Jerusalem, Ninive,
Babel, among others) and their identity. Wide in scope, this volume
demonstrates the sensitivity and critical awareness shown by the
prophetic tradition which observed processes of urbanization that
were very much double-edged. In addition to historical analysis,
the essays assembled here offer important perspectives for current
theological research on urban studies.
For some years the view has become established that the Book of the
Twelve is a systematically structured literary unity. An exegesis
which takes the final canonical text seriously undertakes to
understand the structure and theological intention of this unity.
The papers collected here attempt to reveal significant structures
which overarch the individual components. Particular emphasis is
placed on the reconstruction of thematic threads which are created
when individual prophets take up topics from their predecessors
(e.g. Jehovah's Day, conversion, role of the peoples) and intensify
them. The papers were written between 1999 and 2002 under the aegis
of the Society of Biblical Literature's Working Group on The
Formation of the Book of the Twelve.
