Críticas:

''While engaging with the best in recent scholarship, this book is accessible to the uninitiated. Interpreting the Prophets is a helpful resource for those who want to hear the breadth and depth of the message of the prophets.'' --Mark J. Boda, Professor of Old Testament, McMaster Divinity College, Ontario

''The inclusion of compositional, historical, rhetorical and theological perspectives serves well to provide an up-to-date and easily understood survey. The hermeneutical tips allow easy access to the prophetic literature . . . and a section on preaching the prophets completes the circle. This is a welcome addition to the field that I plan to put to frequent use.'' --John H. Walton, Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College, Illinois

''Chalmers has assimilated a vast and complex range of materials from the Old Testament and its world and from the scholarly world, and out of them he has formulated a coherent and intelligible account of the prophets for his readers. And it all serves a passion to help people read the prophets for themselves.'' --John Goldingay, Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary

Reseña del editor:

A clear, concise and up-to-date introduction a central topic in biblical studies Written with the needs of students in mind Provides readers with the 'big picture' and shows how they can develop the skills to formulate their own interpretations The prophetic books are some of the most captivating and fascinating texts of the Old Testament. They are also some of the most misunderstood. This book aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills they require to interpret the prophetic books in a faithful and accurate fashion. The work consists of two parts. In the first, the author focuses on the various 'worlds' of Israel's prophets (historical, social, theological and 'literary'). This provides the basic contextual and background information that students need to exegete the literature. In the second, he focuses on developing a methodology which students can employ when seeking to interpret a section from a prophetic text. After working through the book, readers should emerge as more competent and confident interpreters of the prophetic literature.
