Beschreibung
Using Mikhail Bakhtin's theory, Felipe A. Masotti examines how ancient prophecies are reused to shape ideas about divine intervention and the passing of time. Masotti's study reveals a blend of traditional and innovative elements in Daniel's eschatological narrative, reflecting a deep theological engagement with prophetic traditions.
Felipe A. Masotti demonstrates how the closely related phenomena of literary reuse of prophecies and time-space representation are employed in Daniel 10-12 to describe the ultimate end. Adopting Bakhtin's chronotope concept, Masotti shows how prophetic texts from Numbers, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Habakkuk are strategically reused to build a narratological architecture emphasizing the eschatological expectancy of an impending divine intervention. This volume illustrates how Daniel 10-12 creates a tension between conservatism and innovation regarding older eschatological expectations. Consequently, it unveils how the chronotopical architecture of Daniel 10-12 grounds a theology of God's sovereignty over classical prophetic time, and how the merging of eschatological horizons between its apocalyptic discourse and the reused prophecies is intentionally achieved through textual saturation.
