The Spirit of the Lord Came Upon Me': Prophets in Ancient Israel from a Cross-Cultural Perspective (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)

The Spirit of the Lord Came Upon Me': Prophets in Ancient Israel from a Cross-Cultural Perspective (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)

Read Download
Lester Grabbe here distills his wide body of work on the subject of prophecy. The volume considers prophecy in different cultural contexts across ancient Israel and surrounding areas. Beginning with a consideration of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, Grabbe then looks at it as phenomenon in the ancient near east, including Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Levant.

From this background in the immediate context of ancient Israel, Grabbe then widens the cultural lens to consider prophecy in more global environments, including Africa and the Americas, and recent examples of pseudo-biblical prophets such as Joseph Smith. In the final part of the book Grabbe then analyses these different prophetic types and forms, looking at the continuing traditions of prophecy alongside their ancient roots.
