This volume explores the themes of theodicy and hope in both
individual portions of the Twelve (books and sub-sections) and in
the Book of the Twelve as a whole, as the contributors use a
diversity of approaches to the text(s) with a particular interest
in synchronic perspectives. While these essays regularly engage the
mostly redactional scholarship surrounding the Book of Twelve,
there is also an examination of various forms of literary analysis
of final text forms, and engagement in descriptions of the thematic
and theological perspectives of the individual books and of the
collection as a whole. The synchronic work in these essays is thus
in regular conversation with diachronic research, and as a general
rule they take various conclusions of redactional research as a
point of departure. The specific themes, theodicy and hope, are key
ideas that have provided the opportunity for contributors to
explore individual books or sub-sections within the Twelve, and the
overarching development (in both historical and literary terms) and
deployment of these themes in the collection.
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.
