Prophetic Books and their Theological Witness - Paperback

by Odil Hannes Steck (Author), James D. Nogalski (Translator)

For many years, Odil Hannes Steck has been regarded as among the world's foremost authorities on the Hebrew Bible's prophetic tradition, yet very little of his work has appeared in English. In this book, Steck surveys the results of his extensive and careful research, presenting his theory of the prophetic books' development from oral to current canonical form. He summarizes his redactional work on the prophetic corpus and develops an understanding of the theological import of the text in its history of development.
