Description and Table of Contents

Description

In this reprint of the revised edition of his well known Harvard dissertation, the author traces the historical development of the oracle against a foreign nation from its origin in the early military traditions of Israel down to its refinement as a form of prophetic speech. Christensen begins with early material related to oracular divination and moves chronologically through Israelite history down to the early sixth century BCE, observing in the process two major transformations of the war oracle.
