Contents:
Introductory topics -- The early prophets -- The eighth-century prophets in the Northern Kingdom -- The eighth-century prophets in the Southern Kingdom -- The seventh-century prophets Zephaniah, Nahum, and Habakkuk -- Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Baruch -- Ezekiel and Obadiah -- The final years of the Exile : second Isaiah -- The Persian period and the second Temple : Third Isaiah, Haggai, Zechariah 1-8 -- Fifth- and fourth-century prophets: Malachi, Joel, Zechariah 9-14 -- Jonah, the unique prophet.
Summary: "Although the Israelite prophets lived and spoke centuries ago, their message still resonates in this twenty-first century. Joan Cook captures the essence of these prophetic messages. She does so with an eye toward careful biblical scholarship: historical and political considerations, chronological timelines, and literary patterns. But Cook moves beyond the important scholarly study to consider how prophetic messages speak to the religious, pastoral, and socio-economic concerns of our time. Hear anew these prophetic messengers and discover the practical - and challenging - implications of their words for today."--Jacket.
