Basic Forms of Prophetic Speech

The words of Old Testament prophetic messages have remained the same over millennia---but our understanding of them has changed profoundly. Summarizing and analyzing 50 years of scholarly work, Westermann points up astonishingly different conceptions of prophecy in its history of interpretation. He also introduces some of the major problems in contemporary prophecy studies. Translated by Hugh C. White. 240 pages, paper from Westminster.
