Contents:
part 1: The distribution and employment of futuristic transitions -- Time-designatives occurring mainly as integral transitions -- Bayyom hahu; "on/in that day" -- Other temporal formulas occurring as integral and as introductory transitions -- part 2: Futuristic transitions in the growth of the prophetic books -- Introduction -- Isaiah -- Jeremiah -- Ezekiel -- The Preexilic Minor Prophets -- The Postexilic Minor Prophets -- part 3: Futuristic transitions in the traditioning process -- Distribution according to redactional levels -- Themes in futuristic imaging -- Tradition of expanding revelation.
Subject: From old revelation to new takes an important step beyond the studies by Robert Carroll and Michael Fishbane in exploring inner-biblical exegesis. Simon De Vries attempts to solve the problem of ideology and technique in the expansion of prophetic prediction by schools of redactors. By analyzing those prophetic predictions that employ temporal expressions as introductory transitions - expressions such as "in that day," "behold, days are coming," and "at the end of days"--De Vries demonstrates how futuristic expectation was expanded and reshaped within the prophetic collection toward an eventual canonical form. --
