Claims to divine revelation are not simply a common trope in ancient religious texts: they often determine the structure of these texts and of the communities that produce them. The authors of the studies collected here examine the literary and social functions of revelation in late antiquity from early Christianity and rabbinic Judaism to early Islam, contributing both to our understanding of the phenomenon of revelation as well as to the study of the great transformations, interactions, and tensions typical of this important period. \u003ci\u003eTable of contents: Philippa Townsend and Moulie Vidas: \u003c\/i\u003e Introduction: Revelation, Literature, Community, and Late Antiquity \u003ci\u003eAnnette Yoshiko Reed: \u003c\/i\u003e Pseudepigraphy and\/as Prophecy: Continuity and Transformation in the Formation and Reception of Early Enochic Writings \u003ci\u003eChristine Trevett: \u003c\/i\u003e Prophets, Economics, and the Rites of Man \u003ci\u003ePavlos Avlamis: \u003c\/i\u003e Isis and the People in the \u003cb\u003eLife of Aesop\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eJohn D.
