"This book is a very fine introduction to the message of the main
prophets of the Old Testament. Historical and theological issues
are presented in such a didactic manner that reading and learning
go hand in hand. Maps, charts and pictures offer additional
information without overwhelming the reader. The whole book
breathes a deep pastoral concern to bring the prophetic message on
justice and peace to our personal lives and communities. More than
a guide, it's a companion!"Professor Dr Ulrich Berges,
University of Bonn, Germany "Boyle makes the academic accessible
... He finds that prophecy was not primarily about foretelling the
future but "in changing people's behaviour and perceptions now". He
also observes a "disturbing familiarity" between the world of the
prophets and our own society. Israel's prophets challenge the
modern reader as much as they challenged their own listeners. What
better reason to read this guide!"Associate Professor Mark O'Brien
