Given James D. Nogalski’s contributions to research on the diachronic formation of the Book of the Twelve and its relationship to other Hebrew prophetic texts, this Festschrift in his honor looks ahead toward the next stages in Book of the Twelve scholarship: the relationship between the Twelve and other prophetic collections, texts, and conceptions of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible. Many scholars studying the formation of the Book of the Twelve note that composition models have to account not only for the literary relationship between the individual prophetic texts within the collection but also for the literary relationship between the Twelve and the other Hebrew texts that also developed in the exilic and postexilic periods. This area of inquiry benefits immensely from emerging insights into Ancient Mesopotamian and Mediterranean scribal practices, the scribal role of Levites in the Second Temple Period, and ancient conceptions of prophecy. In this Festschrift, Nogalski’s colleagues and students advance scholarly inquiry into the Twelve as a collection that developed in relation to and alongside other Hebrew texts and collections in the Second Temple Period. The authors in this volume explore the Twelve (in whole or in part) as it engages themes, motifs, and traditions found in other parts of the developing Hebrew scriptures.
