The Priests in the Prophets: The Portrayal of Priests, Prophets, and Other Religious Specialists in the Latter ProphetsLester L. Grabbe, Alice Ogden Bellis Bloomsbury Publishing, 2004 M12 1 - 224 pages Since at least the 19th century Hebrew Bible scholarship has traditionally seen priests and prophets as natural opponents, with different social spheres and worldviews. In recent years several studies have started to question this perspective. The Priests in the Prophets examines how the priests are portrayed in the Latter Prophets and analyzes the relationship between priests and prophets. The contributors also provide insights into the place of priests, prophets, and some other religious specialists in Israelite and Judean society in pre-exilic and post-exilic times. |
