This edition presents Samuel Cox’s thoughtful analysis of the man who was both prophet and wanderer, blending close scriptural reading with a comparative approach to uncover how such a figure can embody both prophecy and weakness. It offers a clear path for readers seeking to understand how divine inspiration and human frailty can coexist in one life.

What you’ll experience

A close, text-driven look at Balaam as told in the Hebrew scriptures
A balanced discussion of prophecy, inspiration, and moral struggle
A comparative lens that places Balaam beside other biblical figures
Reflections on how complexity and ambiguity shape historical interpretation

Ideal for readers of biblical studies, theology, and anyone intrigued by difficult, enigmatic characters in sacred texts.
