Prophet, prophecy, prophetic writings - these are crucial phrases and theological ideas in the Hebrew Bible and in subsequent Jewish and Christian theology. This time an international team of scholars cooperated to express their view on these topics and offer this volume as a Festschrift to Professor Istvan Karasszon who is a leading expert in Old Testament studies in Hungary for decades. Among the authors one can find Hungarian scholars (mostly disciples) and world-known scholars like W. Brueggemann, W. Dietrich, W. Zwickel, R. Kessler, E.-J. Waschke, E. Otto, A. de Pury, J. Hausmann, M. Oeming.
