Abstract

Abstract The contribution discusses a shift in Old Testament prophetic research, starting with recent studies on extra-biblical prophetic texts, on reading and writing capacities in ancient Israel, and on the Septuagint as well as Qumran manuscripts.

Finally the essay sheds some light on consequences for the discussion between the theological disciplines.
