Synopsis: In this innovative work, Mowinckel employs the
phenomenology of religion to investigate how religion was lived and
experienced in ancient Israel and Judah. Using his considerable
expertise, he draws important comparisons between the religious
practices in the Old Testament and ancient Near Eastern religions,
Christianity, and tribal religions from around the world.
Endorsements: "The Norwegian scholar Sigmund Mowinckel is a rarity
in the discipline. His work is still compelling and taken seriously
nearly a century after its publication. Mowinckel's big insight
that he exposited in many directions is that communal worship in
ancient Israel is a generative enterprise that functions to provide
a 'social construction' of an alternative world. His insight is of
immense importance in contemporary study, especially in a culture
of technological reductionism that is matched by rationalistic
theology that lacks dynamism. Contemporary readers will be
powerfully instructed by the welcome re-issuance of this classic
work." --Walter Brueggemann author of A Pathway of Interpretation
Author Biography: Sigmund Mowinckel was Professor of Old Testament
at the University of Oslo, Norway, and a towering figure among
biblical scholars in the twentieth century. Among his numerous
ground-breaking works available in English are The Psalms in
Israel's Worship, He That Cometh, and The Spirit and the Word.
This volume brings together some of Mowinckel's most important and
interesting work on the prophets. He begins by introducing the
reader to the method of tradition history and how it is related to
form criticism and literary criticism. From this groundwork, he
goes on to explore how this method is essential for analyzing the
prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible.In order to make it more
helpful for students, each essay has been supplemented with
additional notes and bibliography to show where the discussion has
continued since Mowinckel. A bibliography of Mowinckel's works in
English and a bibliography of essays evaluating Mowinckel's
contributions are also included. This will provide an excellent
supplementary textbook for courses on the prophets. Key Features:
provides an introduction in Old Testament tradition history an
editor's foreword highlights the importance of Mowinckel's work
includes updated notes and bibliographies includes chapters not
previously published in the U.S. indexes of ancient sources and
authors
