Description
The prophetic books of the Bible present some of the most complex and challenging passages in the Old Testament. This handbook provides a comprehensive guide to understanding these writings, focusing on the prevailing themes and central messages of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the Minor Prophets.
Professor Robert B. Chisholm Jr. examines the content, structure, and theological message of each book, considering how the prophets' words would have been received in their historical communities. The handbook also explores the ongoing significance of the prophetic books for contemporary study.
A useful resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of these important biblical writings, this paperback edition is now available for purchase.
