Introducing the Prophets
Apr 15th, 2009 by Bryan
This series of posts is related to my book-in-progress, God’s Servants the Prophets. The purpose of the series (and the book) is to give readers a straightforward guide to reading the prophetic literature. Rather than provide a traditional survey-oriented introduction, I aim to provide laity and students with an assortment of tools and templates to assist their own reading of prophetic oracles and narratives.
