{"product_id":"defiant-prophets-hillel-i-millgram-9781476686776","title":"Defiant Prophets: Jonah, Balaam, Jeremiah and Their Rebellion Against God","description":"\u003cp\u003e This book examines the tales of three remarkable figures of the biblical world: the tragic prophet Jeremiah, and the two atypical prophets Jonah and Balaam. Jeremiah was cursed from birth and condemned to a lifelong losing battle against national disaster. Jonah was notorious for his connection with a whale, whereas Balaam was best known as the owner of a talking donkey. Yet these prophets (servants of their deity) are portrayed as rebels against their god.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book contends that these tales, beyond their intrinsic appeal as stories, were written to serve as metaphors. Although set in ancient times and in the exotic Near East, the issues that underlie these gripping tales are not unfamiliar to modern times and Western lives. These prophets represent \"everyman\" and these unusual dramas explore the phenomenon of revolt against restrictive conditions and against authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hillel I.
