Mediating the Divine: Prophecy and Revelation in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Second Temple Judaism
This
book is a comprehensive treatment of prophecy and revelation in the
Dead Sea Scrolls. It begins by analyzing the re-presentation of the
classical prophets and their revelatory experience in an attempt to
identify how prophecy and revelation was reconceptualized in the Dead
Sea Scrolls in dialogue and in contrast with received biblical models.
This work then examines the direct evidence in the Dead Sea Scrolls
regarding ongoing prophetic activity at Qumran and in related segments
of Second Temple Judaism. This study argues that the Dead Sea Scrolls
bear witness to a transformed prophetic tradition active at Qumran and
in Second Temple Judaism. Topics treated include the relationship of
prophecy to scriptural interpretation, wisdom, and law, and
eschatological prophecy.
