Hear, O Heavens and Listen, O Earth: An Introduction to the Prophets / Edition 1

Although the Israelite prophets lives 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 socioeconomic concerns of our time. Hear anew these prophetic messengers and discover the practical - and challenging - implications of their words today.
