Synopsis:

The prophetic books are some of the most captivating and fascinating texts of the Old Testament. They are also some of the most misunderstood. This book equips the reader with the knowledge and skills they need to interpret the Prophets in a faithful and accurate fashion. Aaron Chalmers leads the reader through the various 'worlds' of Israel's prophets - historical, social, theological and rhetorical - providing the basic contextual and background information needed both for sound and sensible exegesis and for sensitive interpretation and application to today.

The book concludes with a helpful chapter giving guidelines for preaching from the Prophets - including advice on choosing the texts, identifying appropriate analogies, and the potential problems and common pitfalls to avoid.

About the Author: Aaron Chalmers is Dean of the Faculty of Ministry Practice and Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies, Tabor Adelaide - a multi-denominational, evangelical college located in Adelaide, South Australia.
