Über diesen Titel

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?

It's common to study prophecy with a focus on the sole question of prediction and fulfillment, either for the sake of apologetics or for understanding the end times, but such an approach can fail to track with the original intent of the authors.

John Walton applies his signature method to help us recover the lost world of the prophets. To read these biblical books well, we must understand: the role of the prophet, the nature of prophetic literature, the theological significance of prophecy, and how apocalyptic differs from prophecy.

A fresh reading of the Old Testament text in light of the ancient Near Eastern context can open new avenues of awareness. Walton provides a clear, helpful guide to the nature of biblical prophecy and apocalyptic literature that will help listeners avoid potential misuse and reclaim the message of the prophets for their lives.

I would have hoped that this book explains and shows what it was like to be a prophet, what this meant for ones live etc. Almost no attention is given to that.
Rather Walten warns extensively about not thinking that one can interpret and apply to ones time what was written by the prophets...

Lots about interpretation, not so much historie
