Theology of the Prophetic Books by Donald E. Gowan

NO OF PAGES: 250 SUB CAT I: Prophets SUB CAT II: Theology SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Donald Gowan offers a unified reading of the prophetic books, showing that each has a distinctive contribution to make to a central theme. These books--Isaiah through Malachi--respond to three key moments in Israel's history: the end of the Northern Kingdom in 722 B.C., the end of the Southern Kingdom in 587 B.C., and the beginning of the restoration form the Babylonian exile in 538 B.C. Gowan traces the show more theme of death and resurrection throughout these accounts, finding a symbolic message of particular significance to Christian interpreters of the Bible.NOTES: Purchased from Amazon.com.
