Noting that the legacy of the prophets remains a powerful element in
contemporary society, Jack R. Lundbom explores the contours of
prophetic speech in ancient Israel. He surveys the elements of each
prophet’s message, describes the characteristics of prophetic
rhetoric and symbolic behavior, and discusses the problem of
authenticity: how did individuals make the claim to speak as prophets,
and how did their audiences recognize their claims? The Words of the
Prophets offers an authoritative introduction to the phenomenon of
ancient prophetic speech for the contemporary reader—and hearer.
