Opis

A revised and updated edition of a classic textbook in the Oxford Bible Series about prophecy and prophets, this book is a clear and succinct study of prophecy both as a phenomenon in the wide context and as represented in the Bible. Surveying all the prophets from Moses to Huldah, the author also looks at the interpretation of prophecy through history by Christians, Muslims, and Jews--and most recently by feminists. This lucid and succinct study will be essential to those interested in biblical studies or religion--be it Christianity, Judaism, or Hinduism.

Recenzje

'Sawyer has always extended the boundaries of biblical criticism: his textbook covers much more ground than most. The original edition included the interpretation of prophecy in Judaism, Christianity and Islam; now a chapter on feminist issues is added. The bibliography is also updated. Highly recommended.' Philip R. Davies, Booklist
