Review

"An impressive work which casts fresh light on many major and minor matters through applying a new and consistent perspective to a difficult area. It breaks much new ground, and does so in an agreeable style."--John Barton, Oriel College, Oxford

"This is an excellent piece of work, very well controlled in overall design, and very well prepared in detail. It both takes into account other work in the field and makes an original contribution. The work will be of considerable interest for Christian and Jewish studies."--Fergus Millar, Brasenose College, Oxford

"Significant and readable....The study should be consulted by all those persons interested in the variety of projects which fall somewhere under the rubric of social scientific investigations of the relevant time period."--IOUDAIOS Review

"Thorough and clearly organized work, Gray has done a service to scholarship."--Journal of Theological Studies

"It seems to me that Professor Gray had indeed brought a fresh approach to bear on the religious and political turmoil of the late Second Temple period; and that she has uncovered the need for further research into the attitude of popular circles towards the varieties of prophecy. On both counts this book is to be warmly welcomed."--Le'ela
