Götterwort in Menschenmund: Studien zur Prophetie in Assyrien, Israel und Juda

Von Manfred Weippert

The book comprises eight articles on ancient Near Eastern, especially Assyrian prophecy from journals and collective works, a German translation of all of the Neo-Assyrian prophetic texts, and an epilogue updating some of the topics dealt with in the earlier treatments of the matter. A comprehensive bibliography and indexes are included. The main assertions put forward in the book are the following: (1) The so-called "Assyrian" or "Arbela oracles" are prophetic sayings. (2) The phraseology and genres used have near counterparts in the Old Testament (especially "Deutero-Isaiah"). (3) The "Salvation Oracle for Israel" represents a re-interpretation of the earlier oracle of salvation for kings. (4) Prophecy of Salvation is the normal case of Ancient Near Eastern Prophecy including that among Israelites and Judaeans.
