Noting that the legacy of the prophets remains a powerful element in contemporary society, Jack R. Lundbom explores the contours of prophetic speech in ancient Israel. He surveys the elements of each prophet's message, describes the characteristics of prophetic rhetoric and symbolic behavior, and discusses the problem of authenticity: how did individuals make the claim to speak as prophets, and how did their audiences recognize their claims? The Hebrew Prophets offers an authoritative introduction to the phenomenon of ancient prophetic speech for the contemporary reader--and hearer.
Jack R. Lundbomis a professor at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of Jeremiah: A Study in Ancient Hebrew Rhetoric (1997), the three-volume commentary Jeremiah (1999-2004), and from Fortress Press, The Hebrew Prophets: An Introduction (2010).
