Excerpt from The Hebrew Prophet
The reader will note that there is a certain amount of repetition, which my method of treatment has rendered necessary. Some few passages, like the story of Micaiah, and Amaziah's attempt to silence Amos, illustrate a number of points in prophecy, and so I have not hesitated to use them a second or even a third time. But I have endeavoured to limit the repetition to the material, and not allow it to extend to the treatment also. The quotations from the Holy Scriptures are occasionally from the Revised Versions, English or American but, as a rule, I have preferred to make my own translations.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the history and evolution of prophecy in ancient Israel, from its early beginnings to its development as an institution. The author argues that prophecy was not merely a phenomenon of religious enthusiasm, but rather a complex and multifaceted institution that played a vital role in shaping the religious and political life of the nation. The book traces the development of prophecy from its humble origins in the days of Samuel to its golden age in the eighth century BCE, when prophets such as Amos, Hosea, and Isaiah emerged as powerful voices for social justice and religious reform. It also examines the role of prophecy in the decline and fall of the Israelite kingdom and its legacy in later Jewish and Christian thought. Drawing on a wealth of historical and biblical scholarship, this book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most important and enduring aspects of Israelite religion.
