Prophetic Literature: From Oracles to Books. By Ronald L. Troxel
The title and subtitle together clearly delimit the scope of the author’s treatment of prophecy. It is not a study of the phenomenon of prophecy, individual or communal, nor has it much to say about the content of the oracles, or their theological meaning, or even their literary quality.

| Σύνοψη: | The title and subtitle together clearly delimit the scope of the author’s treatment of prophecy. It is not a study of the phenomenon of prophecy, individual or communal, nor has it much to say about the content of the oracles, or their theological meaning, or even their literary quality. In his introductory section Troxel poses the question whether the prophets actually wrote anything, indeed whether they were able to write. He sets a high bar for literacy, in that it can be assumed only for a society in which the resources exist for the inexpensive dissemination of written material. This was not the case in ancient Israel, where the ability to write more than one’s name was limited to professional scribes. |
