Assess Of Books The Prophets

Wow! This is the best book I have read in years! When I read books, I try to take notes, but books like that almost make me feel like I have copy large portions and portions of the book in my notebook for later reference. A while back I read F. B. Meyer on some of the characters of the Old Testament. I was turned off. Christian Fundamentalists don't help the situation either for me. They keep talking about judgement and anger and all these words that remind me of the god of Islam called Allah.

I wish I could spilt this book into two parts. I enjoyed the portions of the book which focused on the biblical and theological analysis of the prophets, which was 3/4 of the book. I didnt understand why Heschel included the other portions, which focused on history, psychology, or other fields of study outside of Jewish thought and and biblical analysis. I felt that those inclusions were very forced and at times lacked cohesiveness and relations to the main subject matter. For that reason, my

I first read excerpts from "The Prophets" by Abraham J. Heschel in a class about the Hebrew Prophets in my Junior year at college. I appreciated it, and was fascinated by the points Heschel made, and the way in which he spoke about God and what it means to be a prophet of Israel. However, it was not until now, after I have finally had the chance to read this work in its entirety, that I realize exactly how important and beautiful of a work this is.Abraham Heschel, a Hassidic Jew from Warsaw,

Less a work of historical criticism than a philosophical tract (though certainly thoroughly researched and highly critical), Heschel holds up the prophets of the Tanakh as exemplars of not just divine revelation, but also of :"divine pathos" and "prophetic sympathy," men attuned to God's concern for humankind and brave enough to speak His word to those who've forgotten it. The key here is reciprocity between the divine and the human, a concept to which I fully subscribe.

Amazing.

Abraham Heschel's The Prophets offers a thorough and insightul analysis of the phenomenon of the prophet in the Hebrew Bible.The first part of the book begins, modestly enough, as something of a commentary on the texts of the prophets. This begins with a general discussion of the sort of man that the prophet was, before going into individual readings of the prophets and discussion of the historical contexts in which they operated.The book then moves into a theological and philosophical

I read this book after reading "The Prophetic Imagination" by Brueggemann who often mentions "The Prophets" as a major influence. After reading "The Prophetic Imagination," I concluded "The Prophets" was probably the most important work of scholarship of the Hebrew scriptures in the last 50 years. After reading, "The Prophets," I have concluded it is the most important work of scholarship of the Hebrew scriptures in the last 100 years. Wonderfully researched and clearly written, Heschel builds
