The Book of the Twelve: An Anthology of Prophetic Books or The Result of Complex Redactional Processes?

by Andrew Hill (Contribution by), Hendrik Koorevaar (Contribution by), Thomas Renz (Contribution by), Christopher R. Seitz (Contribution by), Georg Fischer SJ (Contribution by)

Overview

Past decades have witnessed an increasing interest in the Book of the Twelve. James Nogalski and Paul House had been at the forefront of research in this regard in presenting approaches that account for the book as a whole. Meanwhile others like Ehud Ben Zvi have some reservations. This collection of essays discusses the hermeneutical, exegetical and theological significance of these opposing perspectives and explores venues for future research. The impact on reading and reflecting on individual books is of particular interest to the various essays.
