Prophets and the Powerless, The

Sensational books on ?biblical prophecy? that warn of the end of the world continue to make the bestseller lists. James Limburg demonstrates that the actual prophets ? Nathan, Elijah, Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah ? were less concerned with such questions than with the urgent call for justice in society. Original and interesting. Limburg writes in a way that should catch the attention of the undergraduate student and the person in the pew, and he brings home a central feature in the prophetic message in a way that is telling and related to questions most people are raising. ?John Bright
