Bøger i Prophets (Augsburg) serien

"An excellent introduction to the prophets and the prophetic literature . . . The goal of the book is to understand the thought of the prophets in their historical contexts, and to communicate that understanding for our time. Its approach, while innovative, builds upon he best of contemporary analysis of the prophetic literature."Gene M. Tucker Candler School of Theology Emory University"Koch's first volume on the prophets of ancient Israel displays his sound and creative scholarship and will fill a bibliographical gap. He displays the individuality of each prophet with perceptive insight, but he also compares and interrelates them in his various summaries. Furthermore, Koch relates his study of individual prophets to theological currents that have been flowing through the scholarly world in recent decades."Bernhard W. Anderson Princeton Theological Seminary

"The great virtue of Koch's work is his attempt to describe the world-view presupposed by the prophets as they evaluated their societies and formulated their messages. In this respect his treatment is a valuable contribution to our understanding." --Thomas W. Overholt Catholic Biblical Quarterly
