Additional Info
Sensational books on “biblical prophecy” that warn of the end of the world continue to make the bestseller lists. James Limburg demonstrates that the actual prophets — Nathan, Elijah, Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah — were less concerned with such questions than with the urgent call for justice in society: The prophets keep surprising us. Time and again they take us by the hand and lead us to the home of a widow or point us to a lonely orphan. They may show us the eyes of a poor man or introduce us to a stranger. These, you see, are the powerless.

Original and interesting. Limburg writes in a way that should catch the attention of the undergraduate student and the person in the pew, and he brings home a central feature in the prophetic message in a way that is telling and related to questions most people are raising.

Ideal for study groups and individual use, this little book enables the general reader to approach the Old Testament prophets with understanding.
