The Old Testament prophets are among the most persuasive preachers in all of history. They communicated messages powerful enough to change lives, impact the decisions of the world's greatest leaders, and cause entire nations to repent and turn back to God.
It is surprising that the prophets achieved this success without the benefit of modern electronics, formal training in persuasive techniques, or communication theory.
How do we explain the prophets' success? This book goes beyond traditional presentations of Scripture and historical data to look through the eyes of the Old Testament prophets, see their worldview, examine the historical and social contexts, and explore the process of communication and the dynamics of persuasion.
"A Practical Guide to Understanding the Prophets of the Bible" serves as both a textbook for Bible classes and a reference material for pastors, not forgetting Christians who wish to understand more deeply the eternal messages of ancient prophets.
