About the work
Prophecy and Society in Ancient Israel (ISBN 9780800618148) offers a panoramic and probing examination of prophetic life, its social contexts, and its transformative impact on Israelite culture, religion, and politics. This work situates prophecy within the broader dynamics of ancient Near Eastern societies, elucidating how prophetic voices emerged, circulated, and contested power structures across generations.
Summary
The book unpacks the intricate relationship between prophetic rhetoric, communal identity, and social change, tracing the evolution of prophetic function from early oracular motifs to more autonomous, critique-driven voices that challenged kings, priesthoods, and institutions. Through careful analysis of texts, rhetoric, and historical context, it reveals how prophets navigated crisis, interpreted divine will, and led movements that redefined moral and political horizons.
