READING THE PROPHETS AS CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE A Literary, Canonical, and Theological Introduction Eric J. Tully READING CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE This survey textbook is grounded in the view that the prophetic books of the Old Testament should be read as Christian Scripture. Although it covers critical issues such as authorship, background, and history, its primary focus is on the message and theology of the prophetic books and the contribution they make to the Christian canon. Particular attention is given to literary issues, such as the structure of each prophetic book. Full-color illustrations, diagrams, and artwork bring the text to life. The prophetic books covered are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. “Well organized, with maps, informative sidebars, and thoughtful questions, Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture will be a useful textbook and reference book.” —M. DANIEL CARROLL R., Wheaton College and Graduate School “Offers evangelical students a user-friendly introduction to the Old Testament prophetic books. Great charts, time lines, maps, and pictures add to the book’s value.” —MARION TAYLOR, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto “If the Prophets are to be read, understood, and pro- claimed as Scripture for the people of God, then Tully has done the church a great service by writing this book.” —BO H. LIM, Seattle Pacific University “The deceptive simplicity of the prose makes this book suitable for first-year seminary students, while the patient unpacking of structural and theological themes proves wonderfully stimulating for more advanced readers.” —D. A. CARSON, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (emeritus) “Students and teachers alike will benefit from Tully’s clear guidance and excellent teaching.” —MARK S. GIGNILLIAT, Beeson Divinity School
