The Prestige of the Pagan Prophet Balaam in Judaism, Early Christianity and Islam
Angebote / Angebote:
This volume deals with the pagan prophet Balaam who figures in the Book of Numbers. The conflicting stories of historical texts offer simultaneous praise and criticism of Balaam as a prestigious pagan prophet throughout ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and the early Koranic commentaries. By the very nature of his stature as a non-Israelite, pagan prophet, the figure of Balaam raises important questions with regard to the nature of prophecy and the relation between the Israelite God and the pagan nations.
