This article examines the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Further, this article explores the “Persian turn” in somewhat recent scholarship in which Minor Prophets set in the pre-exilic period are instead dated to the Persian period (late sixth to late fourth centuries bce). While acknowledging that Persian dating of previously thought older works has been productive, this article warns that taking this process to extremes can compress the lengthy histories of biblical prophetic books that probably do have pre-exilic origins into too short a time frame and too limited a cultural range.
