THE LORD ROARS Recovering the Prophetic Voice for Today M. Daniel Carroll R. THEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS FOR THE CHURCH CATHOLIC
The world today cries out for a prophetic word to the chaos, un- rest, and destructiveness of our times. In The Lord Roars Old Tes- tament ethicist M. Daniel Carroll R. highlights three key ethical concerns of the Old Testament prophets—justice, worship, and hope—and shows how they can speak into our world.
“Carroll, easily one of our best scholars and teachers on the prophets, offers a concise and erudite—indeed, ideal—introduction to these all-important messengers of God.” —BRENT A. STRAWN, Duke University “Carroll’s rigorous exegesis, historical analysis, and cultural awareness converge to give Bible readers a better understanding of Scripture’s prophetic tradition and how it applies right now.” —DENNIS R. EDWARDS, North Park Theological Seminary “Carroll’s proposal challenges today’s Westernized Christian visions of a world trapped in left-wing and right-wing political ideologies.” —OSCAR GARCÍA-JOHNSON, Fuller Theological Seminary “Offers a powerful call toward living a prophetically formed ethic grounded in the biblical prophets Amos, Isaiah, and Micah. This call is desperately needed in our fractured world.” —BETH M. STOVELL, Ambrose Seminary “This work is remarkable in that it combines the expertise of one of the world’s leading scholars on the prophets and social ethics with his deep knowledge of Latino/a theology.” —BO H. LIM, Seattle Pacific University “For anyone praying, speaking, or acting toward a vision of justice, this book is a must-read.” —LISSA M. WRAY BEAL, Providence Theological Seminary “Deeply rooted in the Old Testament prophets, Carroll brings the possibility of God’s truth to impart important instruction for the contemporary church.” —SOONG-CHAN RAH, Fuller Theological Seminary “A must-read for those committed to reclaiming the prophetic voice by proclaiming the vision of the prophets.” —DOMINICK S. HERNÁNDEZ, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University “The power of this book lies in the dialogue it creates between ancient and contemporary prophets.” —MARK J. BODA, McMaster Divinity College
