  • Book Description

    In demonstrating how the trustees of Jeremiah's prophetic legacy made their case for authority, this book reveals how Israelite religion evolved into early Judaism, in which scribes eclipsed prophets and priests as the mediators of divine will, and in which the interpretation of text became a mode of divine revelation in its own right.

  • Product Description

    Scholars typically view Jeremiah 26-45 as a collection of episodes constructed during the Babylonian exile that attempts to prove the authenticity of Jeremiah's prophetic status. But Jeremiah's prophetic legitimacy was already widely accepted during the period of the Babylonian exile. These chapters serve a different purpose, namely, to provide a response by the Deuteronomistic scribes to the rise of the Ezekiel tradition and the Zadokite priesthood that threatened their influence among the exilic population.
