Author Description

A revised and updated edition of a classic textbook in the Oxford Bible Series about prophecy and prophets, this book is a clear and succinct study of prophecy both as a phenomenon in the wide context and as represented in the Bible. Surveying all the prophets from Moses to Huldah, the author also looks at the interpretation of prophecy through history by Christians, Muslims, and Jews--and most recently by feminists. This lucid and succinct study will be essential to those interested in biblical studies or religion--be it Christianity, Judaism, or Hinduism.
