In Jewish tradition, as Abraham Joshua Heschel explains in The Prophets , they earn the title by witnessing the world around them with outstanding passion. Prophets are those whose \"life \u0026amp; soul are at stake\" in what they say about \"the mystery of [Gods] relation to man.\" Theyre \"some of the most disturbing people who have ever lived.\" Yet theyre also \"the men whose image is our refuge in distress \u0026amp; whose voice \u0026amp; vision sustain our faith.\" This book, a classic text on the subject, contains sophisticated, straightforward discussions of each of the Hebrew prophets, the primary themes of their preaching \u0026amp; comparisons of Israels prophets to those of other religions. Throughout, he avoids the two great temptations in any discussion of overstating the supernatural quality of a prophets epiphany (\"A prophet is a person, not a microphone\") \u0026amp; reducing prophesy to a merely human phenomenon. Instead, he describes the prophets peculiar status as Gods spokesman in a way that does justice to its \"He speaks from the perspective of God as perceived from the perspective of his own situation.\"--Michael Joseph Gross (edited)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67806880727328,"sku":"NEW1565634500","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/21SpEKrvkyL.jpg?v=1792128144","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-prophets-1565634500","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
