Given the many new methods and approaches for interpreting biblical
literature that have appeared in the past several decades, it is
hardly surprising that our understanding of the prophets Isaiah,
Jeremiah and Ezekiel has expanded and diversified at a rapid pace.
Historical-critical understandings and perspectives have been
challenged and often dramatically altered. New approaches, such as
social-scientific criticism, rhetorical criticism, feminist
criticism, reader response criticism, literary analysis,
anthropological analysis, structuralist criticism, ideological
criticism, and deconstructionist criticism have both challenged old
approaches and shed new light on the texts being studied. In this
volume, Alan Hauser presents eleven articles, each with an
extensive bibliography, that survey the variety and depth of recent
and contemporary scholarship on these three prophets. Five of them
are new to this volume. All are written by experts in each area of
scholarship, including Marvin Sweeney, Paul Kim, Roy Melugin,
Robert P. Carroll, Peter Diamond, Katheryn Pfisterer Darr and Risa
Levitt Kohn. Hauser introduces the volume with a comprehensive
summary and overview of the articles.
