Description
Hundreds of commentaries and dozens of Bible translations make the Hebrew prophets available to modern-day readers but most often these sources focus on history or apologetics losing the reader who is searching for spiritual insight. THE HEBREW PROPHETS makes the wisdom of these timeless teachers available to readers with no previous knowledge of the prophets. With fresh contemporary commentary Rami Shapiro reveals the central themes covered by all the prophets: moving from ignorance to wisdom injustice to justice cruelty to compassion and despair to joy. This unique look at the Hebrew prophets sharpens the personal nature of their message and highlights their critique of the spiritual errors we all face in life challenging readers to correct those errors and experience a life of awakening and joy.
