Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture : A Literary, Canonical, and Theological Introduction

Descripción

Neuware - 'A user-friendly introduction to the Old Testament prophetic books'This survey textbook is grounded in the view that the prophetic books of the Old Testament should be read as Christian Scripture. Although it covers critical issues such as authorship, background, and history, its primary focus is on the message and theology of the prophetic books and the contribution they make to the Christian canon. The prophetic books covered are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.'In a very readable style, this volume provides a helpful introduction to prophecy in ancient Israel and to the prophetic books of the Old Testament. Tully consistently mines relevant theological lessons for Christians and connects the prophetic message to the trajectory of redemption into the New Testament. Well organized, with maps, informative sidebars, and thoughtful questions, Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture will be a useful textbook and reference book.'--M. Daniel Carroll R., Wheaton College and Graduate School'Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture offers evangelical students a user-friendly introduction to the Old Testament prophetic books. It surveys the rich theological and historical contexts of the various books, before exploring the phenomena of prophecy and introducing each prophetic book. Great charts, time lines, maps, and pictures add to the book's value. Also appealing is Tully's modeling of how to read individual prophetic books as Christian Scripture.'--Marion Taylor, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto'If the Prophets are to be read, understood, and proclaimed as Scripture for the people of God, then Tully has done the church a great service by writing this book. Tully takes a conservative approach to matters of authorship and date and writes to evangelical audiences, all the while interacting with critical scholarship and explaining his interpretive decisions. The book is accessible and full of useful information, and it possesses a pastoral focus to help students of Scripture comprehend and apply what are often considered puzzling texts of the Bible.'--Bo H. Lim, Seattle Pacific University'At its most basic, this book is a highly readable introduction to the Old Testament Prophets. As such, it covers the standard topics of introductions, including questions of authorship, date, historical and theological contexts, structure, and canon. But to read the Prophets as Scripture is not to impose some esoteric interpretative key but (as Tully makes luminously clear) to read the texts as they are, as they claim to be. The deceptive simplicity of the prose makes this book suitable for first-year seminary students, while the patient unpacking of structural and theological themes proves wonderfully stimulating for more advanced readers.'--D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (emeritus).
