Product Description

▼▲

Exploring the Old Testament Volume 4: Prophets aims to help students study the Prophets. Like other volumes in the EOT and ENT series, it is intended to give the student a primary resource to enable him or her to study the texts independently. It provides introductory material on each book, a basic commentary, and pointers to theological interpretation. Each chapter is supplied with lists of commentaries and other works, so as to open a range of critical and interpretative literature on the prophets. All Scripture quotations are taken from the New Revised Standard Version, unless otherwise noted.

Publisher Description

Exploring the Old Testament: A Guide to the Prophets considers the often misunderstood prophetic books of the Old Testament, including an exploration of their historical context, their artful use of language and their place within the chorus of Old Testament voices. This critically informed and theologically sensitive introduction to the Prophets introduces students to issues in critical interpretation, the place of the prophetic books in the Old Testament canon, the social location of biblical prophets, contemporary applications of the prophetic books, dates and destinations of the prophecies of each of the books, theological contributions of the prophetic books, and an overview of literary criticism on the Prophets.

In this textbook you will find double-column formatting for ease of use, annotated bibliographies for further reading, sidebar explorations of select historical and textual topics in greater detail, a glossary of terms, and relevant charts and maps.
