Images and Prophecy in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean

Edited by Martti Nissinen and Charles E. Carter.

How does iconography depict prophetic actions? How do references to images support prophetic messages? The authors of the essays in this collection look at the interrelationships between text and image. They examine textual and iconographic remains from Israel and Judah, Egypt, Greece and Persia, often with direct relationship with Israelite and Judean religion and prophetic activity.
