Studies in the Religious Tradition in the Old Testament

By Peter R. Ackroyd

These important papers by a distinguished British Old Testament theologian, many of them previously inaccessible, focus on the theme of continuity and, within that, on the development of prophecy in the Old Testament period. They include studies of 'Continuity and Discontinuity', 'The Theology of Tradition', 'The Vitality of the Word of God', 'The Open Canon' and 'Original Text and Canonical Text', and on the prophets: 'Historians and Prophets', 'Interpreting the Babylonian Exile', 'The Death of Hezekiah', 'A Judgment Narrative between Kings and Chronicles', and two studies of Isaiah.
