The Priests in the Prophets Summary

The Priests in the Prophets: The Portrayal of Priests, Prophets, and Other Religious Specialists in the Latter Prophets by Dr. Lester L. Grabbe (University of Hull, UK)

Since at least the 19th century Hebrew Bible scholarship has traditionally seen priests and prophets as natural opponents, with different social spheres and worldviews. In recent years several studies have started to question this perspective. The Priests in the Prophets examines how the priests are portrayed in the Latter Prophets and analyzes the relationship between priests and prophets. The contributors also provide insights into the place of priests, prophets, and some other religious specialists in Israelite and Judean society in pre-exilic and post-exilic times.

The Priests in the Prophets Reviews

"This research is indeed indispensable to our ongoing attempt to appreciate the social and religious factors that motivated the prophets' criticism of the priests."- Jacob L. Wright, The Society of Biblical Literature, July 2005
"...informative and valuable...I recommend the book for libraries." -The Catholic Biblical Quarterly * Catholic Biblical Quarterly *
'This volume challenges old established conclusions, such as he perceived antagonism between priest and prophet, with a fresh look at prophetic texts. It contributes a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between sections of Israelite society, not only between priest and prophets, but including diviners, cult personnel and scribes as well.' Katherine J. Dell, Expository Times, 1 August 2006 -- Katherine J. Dell * Expository Times *
