Among the Prophets: Language, Image and Structure in the Prophetic Writings


Philip R. Davies
Continuum International Publishing Group, 1993 - 218 pages
Front CoverProphetic symbolism is one of the key topics of this volume. On Isaiah, John F.A. Sawyer finds radical images of Yahweh, Kenneth T. Aitken looks at the metamorphosis of the key motif of hearing, seeing and understanding, Michael L. Barre examines lions and birds in 31.4-5, and Marvin A. Sweeney re-examines vmes(tm)s in 8.6. The imagery of Ezekiel is explored by Leslie C. Allen (the 'Death Valley' vision) and M.G. Swanepoel (Ezekiel 16 and female images of Israel), and Alan Cooper and Athalya Brenner write on the book of Jonah. Two essays of more general scope deal with the search for unity in Isaiah (David Carr) and the redactional shape of Nahum 1 (James Nogalski). An attractive and stimulating volume which reflects the liveliness of current research on the prophetic literature.

    Might this possibly be re-uploaded, if at all convenient? Its link is inert at the moment.

    Excuse me, but I wonder if there is some small mistake in the upload that corrected an earlier glitch? This text, which is meant to be "Among the Prophets: Language, Image and Structure in the Prophetic Writings", instead leads to "Leadership Succession in the World of the Pauline Circle".
