Reading the Book of Isaiah : Destruction and Lament in the Holy Cities PDF
by R. Heskett
- Information
Description
Many scholars have approached both the origins of ancient city laments in some of the oldest Sumerian texts and how this "genre" found its way into the Tanakh/Old Testament.
Randall Heskett goes a step further. He uses both historical criticismand a form-critical approach toanalyze and assessLamentation and Restoration of Destroyed Cities as oral traditions of ancient Israelite prophetic genres.
He also shows how a later exilic/post-exilic redactional framework may have semantically transformed older prophetic genres about destruction and restoration to be reflexes of the events around 587 BCE.
