Equally, the question of prophecy as social institution and literary corpus has been increasingly problematized. The essays in this volume bring together these crucial aspects of modern biblical research, the scope ranging from methodological issues about sociology and urbanism to Assyrian prophecies and specific biblical texts. An introductory chapter surveys recent anthropological study on urbanism, summarizes the essays, and places the different contributions in context.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;330.Cities and townsBiblical teachingCities and towns, AncientMiddle EastUrbanizationMiddle EastMiddle EastAntiquitiesCities and townsBiblical teaching.Cities and towns, AncientUrbanization016.2299221.15Grabbe Lester L447465Haak Robert D(Robert Donel),1949-1467474Society of Biblical Literature.Prophetic Texts and their Ancient Contexts Group.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782238303321Every city shall be forsaken3678136UNINA
