Customer Reviews for Powell's Books Confrontations with Prophets

Hans Walter Wolff builds upon the results of contemporary research - including his own commentaries - in an attempt to sketch the major themes in the classical prophets Amos, Hosea, and Micah. Wolff raises many questions about current forms of proclamation and examines what is new in the new covenant. He includes a practical guide on how to recognize false prophets. In clear, nontechnical language, Confrontations with Prophets underscores the continuing relevance of the prohets for theology and preaching today.
