About this title

Synopsis

The writings of the prophets are almost three thousand years old, but "their message transcends the events that made them speak and the interval that separates them from the modern age." The prophets were sons of Israel from every social class. Because they lived in times very different from our own, their message and its background might seem obscure to us. This book helps to bridge that gap. In chronological order, An Introduction to the Prophets of Israel acquaints the reader with each "major" and "minor" prophet. What events impacted on his times? What traits colored his personality? What warnings did he want to give to his people and to us? Did some of his oracles find definitive fulfillment in Jesus? This readable introduction to one-fourth of the Old Testament can also provide food for Advent or Lenten reflection. Fr. Richard T. A. Murphy is a former professor of Sacred Scripture and Newman Club director. He has been active in parish ministry and has written many books and articles. Now retired, Fr. Murphy lives in New Orleans.
