Sage, Priest, Prophet (1995 Blenkinsopp), book
Sage, Priest, Prophet: Religious and Intellectual Leadership in Ancient Israel (1995) is a book by Joseph Blenkinsopp.
Abstract
Publisher description: Blenkinsopp investigates three forms of biblical Israel's religious leadership, and examines the development and character of these roles and how they functioned in their particular time and place. Based on sociological insights regarding role theory and audience expectations, the book demonstrates how Israel's prophets, priests, and sages represented their own traditions while responding to the political and professional pressures of their unique situations.
