This volume offers help not just for academics but for pastors preparing " to preach a series from the prophets. It will be useful in providing an
overview of the structure of individual prophetic books as well as unfolding
significant themes that extend throughout the prophets (and in some cases on
into the New Testament). - Iain M. Duguid"
This eighth volume in the Black Dictionary series continues to provide " up-to-date, accessible scholarship in the tradition established by the prior
volumes. As has consistently been done in previous volumes, the editors have
assembled a stellar cast of contributors to acquaint the reader with
information necessary to the understanding of the prophets and the prophetic
literature, as well as to the hermeneutical issues and to the conversations
current in scholarship. The strength of this and the other volumes in the
series is that, while they provide important introductory material, they also
offer the reader a remarkable depth that allows a mature and nuanced
understanding of the subject matter, thereby surpassing other dictionaries,
surveys and even commentaries. Every pastor and scholar should not only add
this to their library but should keep it ready to hand for constant use. "
