Text as Revelation
T.& T.Clark Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-567-68972-6 (ISBN)
While the majority of the contributors analyze ancient Jewish literature for depictions of oral and written revelation, such as the Hebrew Bible and the literature of the Second Temple era, a number of articles also investigate textualization of revelation in cognate cultures, analyzing Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Greek sources. With subjects ranging from Ancient Egyptian and Sibylline oracles to Hellenistic writings and the books of Isaiah, Deuteronomy and Jeremiah, the studies in this volume bring together established and new voices reflecting on the issues raised by the interplay between writing and (divinatory) revelation.
Jonathan Stökl is an assistant professor at the Institute for Area Studies, University of Leiden, The Netherlands. Hanna Tervanotko is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at McMaster University, Canada, and Docent in Old Testament Exegesis, University of Helsinki, Finland.
