A complete revision of E. W. Heaton's best-selling work on the Old Testament

This revised edition is virtually a new book. It includes all the essential information and critical discussion needed by teacher and student to understand the prophets. E. W. Heaton's very readable and helpful new book, THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS, is rich with new insights.

The great prophets have been re-examined in the light of recent discovery and discussion and are seen as closely related to the tradi-tion they inherited and sustained. Heaton maintains that we must persist in asking what the prophets were saying to understand Israel's historical responses and traditions. We can then understand the Old Testament, learn what it is to be people of God, and discern a sense of direction.

The prophets' vocation and personal dedication produced one of the most remarkable phenomena known to the historians of religion. They ransacked everyday experience for living words with which to communicate the Word of the living God.

THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS provides excellent re-sources for further study including thoughtful notes and an exten-sive bibliography. John Knox Press proudly offers a new edition of a most remarkable work on Old Testament studies.
