Social World of the Hebrew Prophets is an introduction to the Hebrew Prophets and the social world of which they spoke. Matthews examines ancient Israel’s prophets chronologically, providing sketches of their historical contexts. He explains pertinent aspects of historical geography, economic conditions, and social forces that influence a prophet’s life and message. This analysis includes many of the images and metaphors a prophet used to communicate effectively. Thus, for example, the reader only skims the surface of a text without understanding what it meant to be a member of Tekoa’s community of hill country farmers and herders, or what an exiled Levite from Anathoth experienced as a prophet in Jerusalem. 224.061565634179 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 224.06 Mat s E99030262 Non Fiction 224.06 Mat s Social_World_of_Hebrew_Prophets.jpg 56651 2014-12-15 09:59:10 2025-03-01 09:25:19 machine generated
