Críticas

This is an excellent, highly readable introduction to the Hebrew prophets, one which brings them to life and makes them speak to our own perceptions and concerns. The author has an all-too-rare knack of making honest biblical scholarship entertaining and relevant, and manages to clarify awkward issues of date, authorship and history without ever being boring. It should be strongly recommended to anyone who thinks the Old Testament is dull. --The Very Revd Dr Jeffrey John, Dean of St Albans

Reseña del editor

The Old Testament prophets were not just predictors of things that would happen long after their time. Nor were they purveyors of religious platitudes. They were people with an urgent message for their own generation and a passion to declare it whatever the risk. They were singers, poets, demonstrators and protesters, radical critics of their own society and dreamers of a world that could be different.
