The Prophets of Israel: A Study of the Old Testament Prophets of God: Their Calling, Message and Legacy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798273031722)

This book embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the prophetic office, seeking to illuminate its origins, its multifaceted messages, and its enduring impact. We will begin by dissecting the very nature of the prophet's calling, defining the authoritative 'word of the Lord' and unraveling the nuances of the Hebrew terms that describe these sacred individuals. Through an examination of their extraordinary calls-visions, dreams, and direct divine encounters-we will witness how God equipped these chosen messengers for their daunting tasks. We will also delineate the diverse fellowship of prophets, distinguishing between the 'writing' and 'non-writing' prophets, and critically addressing the challenging presence of anonymous and false prophetic voices that necessitated keen discernment. By delving into these foundational aspects, we establish the essential context for understanding the profound significance of their subsequent pronouncements and ministries, setting the stage for a deeper appreciation of their critical role in divine history.
