Israel's Prophetic Tradition: Essays in Honour of Peter R. Ackroyd

Description

This successful volume of essays by distinguished scholars not only makes a contribution to the study of Old Testament prophets but also summarises current scholarship in a way particularly appropriate to students, giving access to material available otherwise only in other languages or in journals difficult to obtain.

'Here, then, we have a first rate introduction to recent work on the prophets. It will prove invaluable for teaching, and I am sure that library copies will rapidly become well worn and heavily marked as a succession of undergraduates work through them for their essays. It is greatly to be hoped that ... the Cambridge University Press will speedily issue a paperback edition ... It is an excellent book.' The Expository Times
