Originally published in 1958, this book gives a concise account of the canonical prophets, viewed in the light of modern scholarship. After introductory chapters on the prophetic literature, the historical background and the latest archaeological discoveries of the prophetic period, the rise of prophecy and the forms and characteristics of Hebrew poetry the book deals in detail with the canonical prophets themselves, giving a sketch of the life and work of each, delineating their character, and estimating their influence on the development of religion. They are revealed as outstanding personalities, forming a most remarkable group of religious teachers. The book will be of interest not only to theological students, but also to the clergy and teachers.
