The Prophetic Voice at Qumran
The Leonardo Museum Conference on the Dead Sea Scrolls, 11â12 April 2014
Series: - Studies on the Texts of the Desert of Judah, Volume: 120
Contrary to the generally held view, the Second Temple Era was not a time of prophetic dormancy, but of genuine activity, though of a different character than that of the pre-exilic age. The conference on The Prophetic Voice at Qumran, held 11â12 April 2014 at the Leonardo Museum in Salt Lake City, provided a venue for lively discussions of many of the issues connected with the question of prophecy and prophetic writings in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Second Temple texts. Three of the scholarsâEmanuel Tov, Eugene Ulrich, and James C. VanderKamâwere featured as keynote speakers, and an even dozen scholars made presentations at the conference, of which nine are published in the present volume.
