5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent scholarly resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hebrew Prophets (Paperback)
"The Hebrew Prophets" is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to be a student of the Old Testament. Each of the books of the writing prophets is outlined with a basic general format that includes a biography of the author, a description of the time and place of the prophecies, and a summary of the book and the major themes. Because questions sometimes lie in the authorship (was Isaiah written by one person or more?) or time (Jonah, for example) of the prophecies, Newsome attempts to explore the sources of the disagreement and tends to lean towards the more moderate, scholarly assignments than the traditional ones. Thus, for example, Isaiah is treated in parts as if it were written by multiple authors.Overall, I found the book to be very scholarly and yet very approachable. I was able to use this book to construct a Bible study on the minor prophets for a youth group, and it was very successful. I recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about the Old Testament writings of the prophets.

A diappointing read,
By D. Schwartz "DR. D" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Hebrew Prophets (Paperback)
I found this text to be a disappointment. Some mateial seemed contradictory--- borderline inaccurate. Upon completion of the text, it raised more unanswered questions rather than thoroughly answering them.
