They had a great impact in shaping Israel's ethics, and they should also have an impact on ours, writes biblical scholar Joseph Jensen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEthical Dimensions of the Prophets\u003c\/i\u003e, Jensen shows us how the prophets never soft-peddled God's message. Jeremiah lashed out against a tyrannical king. Hosea accused Israel of harlotry for worshiping false gods. And Amos railed about the God's wrath because Israel failed to behave compassionately toward the weak and the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJensen wants readers to hear the prophets in their own terms as they addressed their biblical contemporaries. Yet he asserts that the teachings of the prophets contain valuable lessons for us to ponder and apply today, particularly when it comes to social justice. This book is designed for readers eager to move beyond an introductory understanding of the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Jensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814659837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814659830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.45d","brand":"Joseph Jensen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120318935295,"sku":"9780814659830","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46f59487-029c-45a3-9c27-07c16aa7449e.jpg?v=1687413686","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethical-dimensions-of-the-prophets-joseph-jensen-9780814659830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
