"Old Testament scholars, most in the US but one each in Canada and Britain, look at characteristics of particular prophets, but also at larger themes regarding prophecy, religion, and society as revealed or engaged by particular prophets. In generally chronological order, they discuss such matters as Joshua son of Nun and the presentation of a prophet, themes in the Book of Judges, prophecy and theodicy, point of view and point of standing in the prophetic books, the poetry of creation, the beginning of the end of the world in the Hebrew Bible, Jeremiah and the Levitical priest of Anathoth, portraying prophetic experience and tradition in Ezekiel, the social locations of Amos, and Jonah and the uses of parody."  -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
