Ethical Dimensions Of The Prophets

$24.95

Do the Old Testament prophets have a stake in modern ethics? They had a great impact in shaping Israel’s ethics, and they should also have an impact on ours, writes biblical scholar Joseph Jensen.

In Ethical Dimensions of the Prophets, Jensen shows us how the prophets never soft-peddled God’s message. Jeremiah lashed out against a tyrannical king. Hosea accused Israel of “harlotry” for worshiping false gods. And Amos railed about the God’s wrath because Israel failed to behave compassionately toward the weak and the poor.

Jensen wants readers to hear the prophets in their own terms as they addressed their biblical contemporaries. Yet he asserts that the teachings of the prophets contain valuable lessons for us to ponder and apply today, particularly when it comes to social justice. This book is designed for readers eager to move beyond an introductory understanding of the Bible.
