Israelite prophecy and the Deuteronomistic history

This collection of essays examines the relationship of prophecy to the Deuteronomistic History (Deuteronomy-2 Kings), including the historical reality 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. --From publisher's description.
