Contents:
Introduction -- The early church -- Medieval biblical interpretation of true and false prophecy -- John Calvin amidst the reformers -- The prophets and which law? The enlightenment era -- The search for coherence in the nineteenth century -- True and false prophecy and the rise of Old Testament theologies in the twentieth century (1910-1986) -- A way forward: since 1986 -- General conclusions.
Summary: "This monograph is a study of the history of interpretation. In that sense it does not fit neatly into the category of Wirkungsgeschichte. Moving through successive periods of the Christian church's history, Tarrer selects representative interpretations of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and theological works dealing explicitly with the question of true and false prophecy in an effort to present a "sampling" of material from the span of the church's existence. As evidenced by the list of "false prophets" uncovered at Qumran, along with the indelible interpretive debt owed by Christian interpreters such as Jerome and Calvin to Jewish exegetical methods, Jewish interpretation's vast legacy quickly exceeds the scope of this project. From the sixteenth-century onward, the focus on the Protestant church is, again, due to economy. In the end, Tarrer concludes that the early church and pre-modern tradition evidenced a recurring appeal to some form of association between Jeremiah 28 and the deuteronomic prophetic warnings in Deuteronomy 13 and 18"--Back cover.
