Summary:
"This volume introduces readers to the prophets of ancient Israel by focusing on the variety of roles they played in ancient Israelite society. Starting from the basic definition of prophets as mediators between God and the community, the author explores the activities and messages of prophets and why and how the prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible was composed. While offering a close analysis of the biblical literature by and about prophets, this volume also incorporates relevant evidence from other ancient Near Eastern cultures and contexts."-- Publisher.
