With astute attention to Zephaniah’s intertextual relationships with other biblical texts, Nicholas R. Werse explores the implications of Zephaniah as a book in perpetual conversation with other biblical cosmologies and conceptions of the human place in relationship with creation. Werse guides readers to critically examine Zephaniah’s ancient worldview and subsequent legacy in dialog with the world’s modern ecological crises. Werse argues that Zephaniah begins and ends with the land. It begins with the removal of all life from the land and ends with a proclamation returning the exiles to their ancestral home. Along this journey, all three chapters of Zephaniah systematically reverse language and imagery from Gen 1-11 and draw deeply from the language of earlier prophets to depict the 6th century BCE destruction of Jerusalem as nothing short of the unravelling of creation. While remaining suspicious of Zephaniah’s distinctively androcentric worldview, Werse traces Zephaniah’s rhetorical journey from the deconstruction of creation and the nations, to its proclamations of hope for the future.

Although many scholars recognize literary similarities between Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah, defining the compositional relationship between these texts remains a matter of debate. Following the scholarly trajectory of exploring the compositional relationship between the Twelve prophets, several scholars argue that these four prophetic texts formed a precursory collection to the Book of the Twelve. Yet even among advocates for this ‘Book of the Four’ there remain differences in defining the form and function of the collection. By reexamining the literary parallels between these texts, Werse shows how different methodological convictions have led to the diverse composition models in the field today. Through careful consideration of emerging insights in the study of deuteronomism and scribalism, Werse provides an innovative composition model explaining how these four texts came to function as a collection in the wake of the traumatic destruction of Jerusalem. This volume explores a historic function of these prophetic voices by examining the editorial process that drew them together.

Given James D. Nogalski’s contributions to research on the diachronic formation of the Book of the Twelve and its relationship to other Hebrew prophetic texts, this Festschrift in his honor looks ahead toward the next stages in Book of the Twelve scholarship: the relationship between the Twelve and other prophetic collections, texts, and conceptions of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible. Many scholars studying the formation of the Book of the Twelve note that composition models have to account not only for the literary relationship between the individual prophetic texts within the collection but also for the literary relationship between the Twelve and the other Hebrew texts that also developed in the exilic and postexilic periods. This area of inquiry benefits immensely from emerging insights into Ancient Mesopotamian and Mediterranean scribal practices, the scribal role of Levites in the Second Temple Period, and ancient conceptions of prophecy. In this Festschrift, Nogalski’s colleagues and students advance scholarly inquiry into the Twelve as a collection that developed in relation to and alongside other Hebrew texts and collections in the Second Temple Period. The authors in this volume explore the Twelve (in whole or in part) as it engages themes, motifs, and traditions found in other parts of the developing Hebrew scriptures.
