Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the critical role of prophecy within the construct of ancient Semitic society and religion. The author posits that while prophecy is often seen as an exclusive phenomenon of ancient Israel, it was in fact shared by nearly all Semitic peoples as a spiritual medium bridging the gap between humans and their deities. However, having established this common foundation, the author goes on to demonstrate the exceptional nature of Hebrew prophecy within this shared milieu, with its unique rejection of ecstatic trance and the supernatural, and its instead unparalleled ethical and spiritual depth. This rigorous analysis and comparison of Semitic prophecy schools illuminates the contextual backdrop against which the extraordinary contributions of Hebrew prophecy become clear, underscoring the profound significance of its insights for the history of religion.
