"This research is indeed indispensable to our ongoing attempt to appreciate the social and religious factors that motivated the prophets' criticism of the priests."- Jacob L. Wright, The Society of Biblical Literature, July 2005

"...informative and valuable...I recommend the book for libraries." -The Catholic Biblical Quarterly

Catholic Biblical Quarterly

'This volume challenges old established conclusions, such as he perceived antagonism between priest and prophet, with a fresh look at prophetic texts. It contributes a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between sections of Israelite society, not only between priest and prophets, but including diviners, cult personnel and scribes as well.' Katherine J. Dell, Expository Times, 1 August 2006
