{"product_id":"9781540969415_knowing-god-through-the-prophetic-books","title":"Knowing God Through the Prophetic Books","description":"The Old Testament Prophets can seem strange and confusing, and it's often hard to decipher what we are supposed to learn about God from reading them. While some turn to the Prophets looking for predictions about the future, Lindy Williams invites readers to look backward instead. What if the key to knowing God through the Prophets is to follow their call to remember Torah?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliams explains that the Prophets' difficult rhetoric starts to make sense once we see what they are actually doing: calling Israel back to its history with God, a history that we learn in the Pentateuch. For the Prophets, knowing God means remembering the Torah, and they model how Israel's religion can shape our own character, which can then shape our lives and our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis accessible introduction to the Prophets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e· helps readers understand the prophetic books as a whole;\u003cbr\u003e· contextualizes prophetic messages so readers see how historical setting shaped the Prophets' message and method; and\u003cbr\u003e· shows how strange details in the prophetic books make sense once we know that the Prophets are reusing concepts like creation, exodus, ritual, and covenant from the Torah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith reflection questions at the end of every chapter, \u003ci\u003eKnowing God Through the Prophetic Books\u003c\/i\u003e equips readers to practice this pattern of remembrance. When we remember Israel's past, we answer the prophetic call to know God more fully.","brand":"Lindy Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53459580748088,"sku":"9781540969415","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/9963\/1672\/files\/9781540969415.jpg?v=1792555208","url":"https:\/\/bakeracademic.com\/products\/9781540969415_knowing-god-through-the-prophetic-books","provider":"Baker Academic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
