Who were the prophets of ancient Israel, and how did prophecy actually work?
Many readers know the names: Isaiah. Jeremiah. Ezekiel. Elijah. Amos. Hosea. Yet few understand the world they inhabited, the nature of their calling, the mechanics of revelation, or the profound role prophets played in shaping Israel's covenant relationship with God.

Prophets and Prophecy in Ancient Israel by Taylor Halverson, Ph.D., provides a comprehensive exploration of the prophetic tradition from Abraham to Malachi, combining biblical scholarship, Ancient Near Eastern studies, archaeology, historical context, and careful scriptural analysis to illuminate one of the Bible's most influential institutions.

This book moves beyond simplistic definitions to reveal prophets as covenant messengers, intercessors, visionaries, reformers, poets, counselors, and witnesses of God's purposes throughout history.
