Reading the Prophets as Christian Scripture invites readers into a fresh survey of the prophetic books of the Old Testament, approached as integral to Christian Scripture. Eric J. Tully guides readers through Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the twelve minor prophets, paying careful attention to their literary form, historical background, canonical shape, and theological message.
With full-color illustrations, diagrams, maps, and sidebars the textbook brings these ancient voices into view for contemporary readers. Tully explains questions of authorship and context, but he emphasizes how the prophets speak to the people of God now by calling for justice, faithfulness, and hope in the face of exile and judgment.
Designed for evangelical undergraduate courses and church study groups, this volume equips readers to understand the prophetic books not merely as historical artifacts but as living Scripture. The book assists instructors with resources through Textbook eSources and offers extensive discussion questions and structural tools for deep engagement.
