"This book has monumental stature. It is fresh and vivid. . . aflame with prophetic vision." --James Muilenburg From the author of Man is Not Alone and God in Search of Man, comes Abraham Heschel's 1962 masterpiece of Biblical scholarship, The Prophets. Abraham J. Heschel's The Prophets, originally published in 1962, provides a unique opportunity for readers of the Old Testament, both Christian and Jewish, to gain fresh and deep knowledge of Israel's prophetic movement. The book includes detailed examinations of the stories of the prophets Amos, Hosea, Isahiah, Micah, Jeremiah, as well as explorations of the theology and philosophy of pathos, the theory of ecstasy in modern religious scholarship, an excavation of the relationship between prophecy and psychosis, and a comparative view of prophets throughout the world. Heschel's project is excavate and examine the consciousness of the prophets: not just the content of their prophecies, but the type of faith-based experience they personified. Heschel's exegetical skill and profound understanding of the prophets opens the door to new insight into the philosophy of religion - a wonderful text for anyone interested in the dialectic of the divine-human encounter.

A book for someone in Divinity School
Not a book for general information on the lives of trhe Prophets which is what I was looking for. It is sort of a mixture of theosophy, philosophy, ethics and theological in- depth study .....more a book for someone in Divinity School. My customer rating and whether I would recommend to a friend depends on what the friend was looking for and what the intended purpose of the book was for that person. It is not easy reading.

A Timeless Classic on Prophets
I have used Heschel in class for more than 20 years. He is clear, insightful, and refreshing because of his rational approach to a very controversial issue: prophets, their message, and their relationship to G*d. Possibly the best rationale for a personal G*d presented in the genre of prophets and their message. I would recommend this work to all who desire a serious study of the Hebrew prophets.
