Description: In this volume Marvin A. Sweeney builds upon his former work ""Form and Intertextuality in Prophetic and Apocalyptic Literature"" (FAT 45, 2005). He introduces further studies that take up several key issues, including the reading of prophetic books in their final literary form and the significance of textual versions for this reading. He also observes the intertextual relationships between the prophets and other works of biblical and post-biblical literature, and the reception of the prophetic books. --Book jacket.
