Anyone working broadly in the fields of Mesopotamian and biblical prophecy knows the inestimable debt that scholars owe to Martti Nissinen... Scholars engaged in comparative study will find this volume essential for drawing together theory and the analysis of texts. Ancient Prophecy will instantly serve as the standard work for researching in ancient prophecy generally and prophetic texts from the eastern Mediterranean specifically. Assyriologists and biblical scholars once again owe Nissinen an inestimable debt for his work in ancient prophecy. * Samuel L. Boyd, Reading Religion * Ancient Prophecy is a dense and well-articulated book. The book is both a competent introducgtion to the modern study on ancient prophecy for the non-specialist reader and a piece of high-standard academic work * Felipe Masotti, Andrews University Seminary Studies 56 *

Hilber, Bulletin for Biblical Research * With this volume N. has provided the field with an authoritative study of ancient prophecy.
