دانلود کتاب Literary Precursors to the Book of the Twelve

In thse interdependent volumes, James Nogalski proposes a monumental and complex program for studying the book of the Twelve. In the process, this revision of his 1991 Th.D. dissertation at the University of Zurich (directed by Odd Hannes Steck) points in stimulating directions for investigating the growth of the prophetic canon and inner-biblical exegesis, intertextuality, or Schriftprophetie.
In effect, Nogalski is attempting to put the study of the Twelve on the same methodological plane as the study of any other prophetic "scroll." Rather than assuming that this collection arose as a result of later writings being “tacked on” to earlier ones, Nogalski asks essentially the same questions of the book of the Twelve that have been raised recently about the book of Isaiah: what is the nature, origin, and purpose of “the unity” of this “book”? As the title to the second volume indicates, Nogalski's focus is on uncovering the process of redactional activity by which the Twelve became one.
After introducing the problem, previous discussions, and methodological considerations, Literary Precursors lays out the key to Nogalski’s project: the "catchword phenomenon,” in which the end of each writing in the collection shares significant words with the beginning of the next.
