Prophecy in the Ancient Near East is the first book-length study that compares prophecy in the ancient Near East by focusing on texts from Mari, the Neo-Assyrian State Archives, and the Hebrew Bible. The author analyzes prophecy in each culture independently before comparisons are made. This method demonstrates how prophecy is a part of the wider system of divination, but also shows where scholarship has unduly imported concepts found in one corpus to the other two. This method, for example, calls into question the supposed link between music and prophecy from the Hebrew Bible to the ancient Near East. This work provides an up-to-date analysis of ancient Near Eastern, including Israelite and Judean, prophecy to scholars and students alike. \'I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, and I can highly recommend it to anyone interested in prophecy in Israel and the ancient Near East.\' Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, University of Aberdeen, Review of Biblical Literature \'The content of Jonathan Stökl?s book...testifies to the value of the book for the studies of prophecy in the ancient Near East.\' Wojciech Pikor, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, The Biblical Annals 410 0$aCulture and history of the ancient Near East ;$vv. 56. 606 $aProphecy$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aProphecies$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aForecasting$xReligious aspects$vEarly works to 1800 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProphecy 615 0$aProphecies 615 0$aForecasting$xReligious aspects 676 $a202.117 700 $aSto?kl$b Jonathan$f1977-$0956417 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462459503321 996 $aProphecy in the ancient Near East$92182927 997 $aUNINA
