“A brilliant study of the Hebrew prophets, one of the most penetrating works . . . [of] our time.”— Will Herberg

From the legendary twentieth-century Jewish Theologian and author of Man is Not Alone and God in Search of Man, comes a beautiful new hardcover edition of Abraham Heschel's masterwork of Biblical scholarship, The Prophets.

The Prophets provides a unique opportunity for readers of all faiths to gain a fresh perspective and deep knowledge of the Old Testament and Israel’s ancient prophetic movement. Heschel’s profound understanding of the prophets and detailed examinations of them, including Amos, Hosea, Isahiah, Micah, and Jeremiah, offers crucial insights into the philosophy of religion that continue to hold relevance for modern scholars and laymen alike.
