| Publisher Description: Like the other volumes in the 101 Questions & Answers series, this book is a useful companion to that portion of the Bible on prophets and prophecy. It explores commonly asked questions to assist laypeople, ministers, and students with the world and words of the prophets of ancient Israel. There are several entries for the major prophets that lead readers through the prophet's message, methods of delivery, and historical setting. And for the smaller prophetic books there are brief summaries of their basic themes. Rounding out the collection are questions on different types of prophecy, including ecstatic and apocalyptic. Helpful charts scattered throughout the text provide quick overviews of themes or point to comparisons between the prophets. Readers, whether engaged in individual Bible reading or group Bible study, as well as students in introductory college Bible or Prophets courses, will quickly gain a basic understanding of the biblical world and the role of the prophets from this concise, easy-to-read text. |
