From the Back Cover
The first part of the book brings out the main features of the biblical books and takes account of the deep affinities between the message o the prophets and the message of Jesus. The second part is devoted to the words of the great prophets of the Bible: Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the prophets known as the prophets of the return. Here is more than just an analysis of the texts; the book goes to the heart of the matter and seeks to show readers the aspects of God presented by each of the prophets. Original and accessible, it has been written for those who want a deeper understanding of these important religious figures.
