What is The Prophets : Who They Were, What They Are about?

<p><br><b>a Radical Reinterpretation Of The Biblical Prophets By One Of America's Most Provocative Critics Reveals The Eternal Beauty Of Their Language And The Enduring Resonance Of Their Message.</b> <p> Long Before Norman Podhoretz Became One Of The Intellectual Leaders Of American Neoconservatism, He Was A Student Of Hebrew Literature And A Passionate Reader Of The Prophets Of The Old Testament. Returning To Them After Fifty Years, He Has Produced Something Remarkable&#58; An Entirely New Perspective On Some Of The World's Best-known Works. <p> Or, Rather, Three New Perspectives. The First Is A Fascinating Account Of The Golden Age Of Biblical Prophecy, From The Eighth To The Fifth Century B.c.e., And Its Roots In Earlier Ages Of The Ancient Israelite Saga. Thus, Like Large Parts Of The Bible Itself, <i>the Prophets</i> Is A History Of The Near East From The Point Of View Of A Single Nation, Covering Not Only What Is Known About The Prophets Themselves -- Including Elijah, Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah, And Ezekiel -- But Also The Stories Of King David, King Saul, And How The Ancient Israelites Were Affected By The Great Near Eastern Empires That Surrounded Them.
