Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophecy and the Prophets in Ancient Israel The Jew was a person of no political importance and of no social standing. He was almost as unpopular in the Roman world as he is in Eastern Europe to-day, though not equally persecuted. He inhabited a little strip of land between the Mediterranean and the Syrian desert, and for six centuries had only intermittently enjoyed an approximate national independence. He was to the fore in commerce then as now - he had little else to live for' besides his faith - but political influence was almost denied him, and political dominance was a dream which appeared even to those who dreamed it to demand a more amazing divine interference with humanity than the world had ever' witnessed. Yet Jesus was a Jew and not a Roman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important work on Prophecy and the Prophets in Ancient Israel is the product of an impressive international team of twenty-three outstanding scholars, most of whom are well-known, established names, while a few are able, younger scholars beginning to make their mark on the field. The volume approaches its subject from a remarkable number of different angles, with essays ranging from Israel's ancient Near Eastern background right through to the New Testament, but the majority of essays concentrate on Prophecy and the Prophets in the Old Testament. Particular attention is paid to the following subjects: Prophecy amongst Israel's Ancient Near Eastern Neighbours; Female Prophets in both Israel and the Ancient Near East; Israelite Prophecy in the Light of modern Sociological, Anthropological and Psychological Insights; Deuteronomy 18.9-22, the Prophets and Scripture; Elijah, Elisha and Prophetic Succession; the Theology of Amos; Hosea and the Baal cu All the contributions, previously unpublished, arise from papers delivered at the Oxford Old Testament seminar.

Book excerpt: Using comparative anthropology to get at the social dimensions of prophetic activity, Robert Wilson's study brings the study of Isrealite prophecy to a new level. Looking at both modern societies and Ancient Near Eastern ones, Wilson sketches the nature of prophetic activity, its social location, and its social functions. He then shows how these features appear in Israelite prophecy and sketches a history of prophecy in Israel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prophets of Israel: From the Eighth to the Fifth Century; Their Faith and Their Message By the foregoing remarks I have indirectly indicatedmy position also to the view, advanced by a recent school of biblical scholars, that Jewish eschatology existed fully developed in ancient Israel long before the appearance of literary prophecy and that its roots are to be sought in old-babylonian eschatological notions. It may suffice here to point out that the claim of the existence of an old-babylonian eschato logical speculation rests on postulation rather than on established facts, and that - not to consider other objections - to argue the existence of an Israelitish eschatology from the preexilic prophetic writings is possible only by reading abstruse meanings and hidden references into descriptions which, in their essence, are purely imaginative and poetic. The fact is, as I hope to show in the second volume that whatever there is of positive proof points to the rise of Jewish eschatology in the Persian period. Sellin, in his recent book, Der alttestamentliche Prophetismus (leipzig, which has just come to my notice, differs in his view of the eschatology of Israel from the scholars just referred to in that he holds that eschatology was indigenous to Israel, his explanation being that the real root of it lies in the act of Revelation from Sinai (p. I may add that Sellin's view-point through out his treatise is in accord with this explanation. My treatment of the prophets, though it departs to a certain extent from the chronological order of presentation, is not in opposition to, but is in full harmony with the historico-critical method of modern research. This method means for that province of knowledge which deals with the politico-social and mental development of the human race, what the analytic-genetic method means for the province of science. Like the latter it insists that every fact orphenomenon under consideration be minutely ana lyzed, that is to say, that its relation to its environment be determined, and its development and growth and, if possible, also its genesis, be traced. For it, also, emphasizes, as the guiding principle of modern te search, that no real knowledge can be obtained from detached phenomena or isolated facts; in other words, that no fact can be accepted by itself, but must be recognized as a part of a great complex, the inter relations of the various parts of which must be closely studied before the significance of the special phenom enon can be ascertained.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophecy and the Prophets IN Part I of this book the purpose of the author has been to present in a brief way the characteristic fea tures of Prophecy so that the ordinary reader may be helped to understand better this most important part of the Scriptures. An exhaustive study of the sub ject has not been undertaken. Such a study will be found by any one who has access to the excellent work of F airbairn on Prophecy, or the later work of David son. Both of these may be highly recommended. While Old Testament Prophecy is generally regarded as a difficult part of the Bible, the difficulties are not too great to be overcome, and any effort to this end will be richly rewarded.

I imagined to myself readers who did not favour the modern, organic view of prophecy, but who, at the same time were not disinclined to become acquainted with it and to weigh its claims. I have, therefore, throughout taken as my point of departure the traditional - which at the same time still continue to be the most widely diffused - ideas, subjected them to a severe objective criticism, and proceeded to build upon the results which were thus obtained. At the same time, I have endeavoured to proceed methodically, and to justify step by step the course of the investigation.
