This book is a companion volume to SAA 9, Assyrian Prophecies, by Simo Parpola. While SAA 9 presents and discusses the corpus of Neo-Assyrian prophetic texts, SAAS 7 collects, analyzes, and discusses the references to prophecy in other genres of Neo-Assyrian texts: royal inscriptions, treaties, letters, and even an administrative text. Nissinen’s work is not a comparison of Assyrian prophecy with biblical prophecy, but rather an attempt to define Assyrian prophecy as it was viewed in its own culture, the uses that were made of it, and how it was related to other methods of determining the divine will.

Martti Nissinen's research has had a formative influence on the study of prophecy for more than two decades. The 32 essays selected for this volume offer a wide-ranging view of prophetic divination. Some essays discuss prophecy from theoretical perspectives, while others contain detailed studies on prophecy in cuneiform sources, in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, as well as in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Altogether, this volume offers a ready starting point for many new and fruitful explorations of prophecy in the Anceint Near Eastern world. --

Prophecy was a wide-spread phenomenon in the ancient world - not only in ancient Israel but in the whole Eastern Mediterranean cultural sphere. This is demonstrated by documents from the ancient Near East, that have been the object of Martti Nissinen's research for more than twenty years. Nissinen's studies have had a formative influence on the study of the prophetic phenomenon. The present volume presents a selection of thirty-one essays, bringing together essential aspects of prophetic divination in the ancient Near East. The first section of the volume discusses prophecy from theoretical perspectives. The second sections contains studies on prophecy in texts from Mari and Assyria and other cuneiform sources. The third section discusses biblical prophecy in its ancient Near Eastern context, while the fourth section focuses on prophets and prophecy in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. Even prophecy in the Dead Sea Scrolls is discussed in the fifth section. The articles are essential reading for anyone studying ancient prophetic phenomenon.

Julius Wellhausen hat maßgeblich zum Verständnis der biblischen Prophetie beigetragen und gilt als einer der Erzväter des Prophetenbildes des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zusammen mit seinen Zeitgenossen rechnete er mit der evolutionären Entwicklung der israelitischen Religion, wobei die großen biblischen Propheten eine entscheidende Rolle spielten, indem sie die alte, der altorientalischen Umgebung ähnelnde Volksreligion “zu etwas anderem” machten. Zur Zeit Wellhausens waren die Quellen der außerbiblischen altorientalischen Prophetie schlecht bekannt, heute sind wir besser in der Lage, die biblische Prophetie gegen ihre altorientalische Hintergrund betrachten. Anhand der uns heute bekanntenTexten sind die „Reste altorientalischen Prophetentums“, d.h., die der altorientalisch-ostmediterranen Prophetie typischen Eigenschaften im Alten und sogar im Neuen Testament deutlich zu sehen. Unter solchen Merkmalen werden sowohl der Wort-Gottes-Begriff, die Verschriftlichung der Prophetie und die politische Bedeutung der Prophetie als auch der Tempel als die „geistige Heimat“ der Propheten, die Genderinklusivität und die prophetische Ekstase betrachtet.
