Synopsis
Unlock the story of prophecy beyond Israel. This book frames the Hebrew prophets in the wider Semitic world and shows how their ideas shaped faith and society.
This edition presents a concise, illustrated view of how prophecy began, developed, and related to kings, temples, and everyday life. It emphasizes the prophets' role in guiding nations, ethics, and personal faith without oversimplifying their past.
Grounded in comparative examples from Egypt, Assyria, and neighboring cultures, it highlights the continuity and difference between prophetic voices across ancient times.
- How prophecy was not unique to Israel but shared across the Semitic world
- Ways prophets engaged with politics, religion, and daily life
- How the prophets taught ethics and responsibility for individuals and communities
- The balance between foretelling and interpretation in prophetic work
Ideal for readers of biblical history, religious studies, and those curious about how ancient faiths shaped modern thought.
