paperbackThe Lost World of the Prophets
Old Testament Prophecy and Apocalyptic Literature in Ancient Context
The Lost World Series
by John H. Walton
Being responsive to God is at the heart of prophecy. But readers of ancient prophecies and apocalyptic literature—including those in the Old Testament—can come away thoroughly perplexed. Are the prophets speaking about their own times, about our present, or about some still-unrealized future?
