Prophets, Prophecy, and Ancient Israelite Historiography

Prophets, Prophecy, and Ancient Israelite Historiography, Volume 1, is a scholarly examination of the intersection between prophetic traditions and historical writing in the Hebrew Bible. This academic work of biblical studies and biblical criticism and interpretation features eighteen essays from the Canadian Society for Biblical Studies. The text focuses on closing the academic divide between historiography and prophecy, analyzing how these two literary traditions influence one another within ancient Israelite and Jewish contexts.

The first section analyzes prophets within historiographic books such as the Torah and Chronicles. The second section explores historiography within prophetic books, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel. By utilizing diverse methodological perspectives, this volume of religion and old testament research demonstrates the bidirectional relationship between these genres. It serves as a comprehensive resource for scholars studying ancient Middle East history, Judaism, and the development of prophetic literature.
