Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy
Author: Samuel A. Meier

We meet the prophets of Israel in our own time and in one place--Scripture. So it might seem odd to consider that they are not all the same, these voices from "back then." In fact, the prophets inhabited a time span of hundreds of years and faced events that on their own terms were more convulsive than our 9/11. They were not uniform in their language, their concerns, their personalities, their remedies or their visions of the future. In this book, Sam Meier explores some recurring themes and features--such as angels, writing, miracles, the future and kingmaking--all with an eye on their transformation over time. And the defining event in this transformation turns out to be the great convulsive event of the story of Israel, the defeat and exile of the kingdom of Judah. Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy is a book that goes beyond the standard introductions to the prophets. Yet it does so in a way that will inform and intrigue beginning students and anyone curious about the prophets of Israel.

Sam A. Meier explores a number of facets of Old Testament prophecy, such as their relation to the divine council, the manner of revelation, the poetry and prose of the prophets and the prophets' relationships with kings. It examines the features of each and notes their transformation over time, particularly between the pre-exilic and post-exilic periods.
Habakkuk
Author: Heath A. Thomas

Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
Release Date: 2018-07-17
The book of Habakkuk has much to teach us about suffering and complaint, faith and fear, and the fidelity of God in times of trouble; it generates reflection on prayer, peace, violence, and faithfulness. In this volume—one of the few commentaries examining Habakkuk by itself—Heath Thomas explores this overlooked Old Testament prophet in order to hear God’s word for us today.
