Beskrivning

Edgar W. Conrad focuses on the prophetic books as composite collections and shows that: Prophets are characters in the text, depicted as figures of the past whose words are significant for a later time. Reading and writing play a central role in the depiction of prophets. Prophetic books are presented as written words available to later generations through reading. Read as a whole, The Latter Prophets depicts the end of prophecy and the emergence of messengers of the Lord. Reading the Latter Prophets is an important contribution to the problems of both the formation and function of the prophetic literature. This is volume 376 in the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplement Series.

Recensioner i media

"Conrad's book is original and offers new insights on the prophets and the prophetic books....few interpreters of Scripture go so quickly and reflectively to the heart of a text as does F. If one wants to hear the word of Yhwh afresh in the study of Jeremiah, this commentary gives the reader a whole new set of ears for careful listening." -The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 67, 2005
