{"product_id":"jesus-the-seer-ben-witherington-iii-9781451488876","title":"Jesus the Seer: The Progress of Prophecy","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly, scholars recognize that prophetic traditions, expressions, and experiences stand at the heart of most religions in the ancient Mediterranean world. This is no less true for the world of Judaism and Jesus. Ben Witherington III offers an extensive, cross-cultural survey of the broader expressions of prophecy in its ancient Mediterranean context, beginning with Mari, moving to biblical figures not often regarded as prophetsBalaam, Deborah, Moses, and Aaronand to the apocalyptic seer in postexilic prophecy, showing that no single pattern describes all prophetic figures. The consequence is that different aspects of Jesus' activity touch upon prophetic predecessors: his miracles, on Elijah and Elisha; his self-understanding as the Son of Man, on Daniel and 1 Enoch; his warnings of woe and judgment, on the \"writing prophets\" in Judean tradition; and his messianic entry into Jerusalem, on Zechariah 9. Witherington also surveys the phenomenon of apocalyptic prophecy in early Christianity, including Paul, Revelation, the Didache, Hermas, and the Montanist movement. \u003cb\u003eJesus the Seer\u003c\/b\u003e is a worthy complement to Witheringtons other volume on Jesus, \u003cb\u003eJesus the Sage \u003c\/b\u003e(Fortress Press, 2000).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben III Witherington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451488874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451488876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.13w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Paper","brand":"Ben III Witherington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986256396543,"sku":"9781451488876","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb94f063-ceea-4316-9e5e-effe5d421282.jpg?v=1683282278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-the-seer-ben-witherington-iii-9781451488876","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
