Description:

"This volume provides up-to-date information in conjunction with a wide range of new perspectives on prophecy as an ancient Near Eastern phenomenon. The temporal and geographical distribution of the sources examined extends from 18th-century B.C.E. Mari, through 7th-century Assyria and the Hebrew Bible, to Arabian documents from the 7th century C.E. The articles are written from manifold perspectives, including methodological, socioreligious, and anthropological, as well as historical viewpoints."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
