WELCH, A.C. — Prophet and Priest in Old Israel.

Oxford: Basil Blackwell,1953. Rep. "This is perhaps the first book in English clearly to represent the..double reaction in Old Testament scholarship, firstly against undue preoccupation with religious ideas, and secondly against the underestimation of the cultic side of Israel's life. Welch emphasises the importance of religious institutions, by which ideas are given concrete reality, and he demonstrates how the roles of prophet and priest did not diverge as much as the adherents of the Wellhausen school supposed."
