Prophets, Priests, and PromisesEssays on the Deuteronomistic History, Chronicles, and Ezra-Nehemiah
Series: Vetus Testamentum, Supplements, Volume: 186
Author: Gary N. Knoppers
Editors: Christl M. Maier and Hugh G. M. WilliamsonShortly before his untimely death Gary Knoppers prepared a number of articles on the historical books in the Hebrew Bible for this volume. Many had not previously been published and the others were heavily revised. They combine a fine attention to historical method with sensitivity for literary-critical analysis, constructive use of classical as well as other sources for comparative evidence, and wide-ranging attention to economic, social, religious, and political circumstances relating in particular to the Persian and early Hellenistic periods. Knoppers advances many new suggestions about significant themes in these texts, about how they relate one to another, and about the light they shed on the various communities’ self-consciousness at a time when new religious identities were being forged.
