This collection of essays examines the relationship of prophecy to
the Deuteronomistic History (Deuteronomy 2 Kings), including the
historical reality of prophecy that stands behind the text and the
portrayal of prophecy within the literature itself. The
contributors use a number of perspectives to explore the varieties
of intermediation and the cultic setting of prophecy in the ancient
Near East; the portrayal of prophecy in pentateuchal traditions,
pre-Deuteronomistic sources, and other Near Eastern literature; the
diverse perspectives reflected within the Deuteronomistic History;
and the possible Persian period setting for the final form of the
Deuteronomistic History. Together the collection represents the
current state of an important, ongoing discussion. The contributors
are Ehud Ben Zvi, Diana Edelman, Mignon R. Jacobs, Mark Leuchter,
Martti Nissinen, Mark O Brien, Raymond F. Person Jr., Thomas C.
Römer, Marvin A. Sweeney, and Rannfrid Thelle.
