Description
"Melvin offers a solid piece of research in his volume, The Interpreting Angel Motif in Prophetic and Apocalyptic Literature. It will captivate the interest of scholars and students working in the areas of angelology, Israelite prophecy, wisdom literature, apocalyptic literature, and the broader area of Second Temple Judaism. For those working in these areas, it will be a welcome addition to the conversation." Archie T. Wright Regent University "This volume is the promising debut of a talented young scholar. Melvin offers an innovative analysis that opens new vistas in the study of the transition from prophecy to apocalyptic, from inner-biblical interpretation to later Jewish and Christian tradition."
