Divination, Politics, and Ancient Near Eastern Empires Alan Lenzi and Jonathan Stökl, editors 220 pages • Ancient Near East Monographs 7 This collection examines the ways that divinatory texts in the Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East undermined and upheld the empires in which the texts were composed, edited, and read. Nine essays and an introduction engage biblical scholarship on the Prophets, Assyriology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the critical study of ancient empires. This book features interdisciplinary approaches, including propaganda studies, essays that examine how political and theological empires shaped biblical and other ancient Near Eastern texts, and an index of ancient sources. https://secure.aidcvt/sbl/ProdDetails.asp?ID=062618P&PG=1&Type=BL&PCS=SBL
