4.0 out of 5 starsWell-rounded presentation of Old Testament Prophetic Books
By Amazon Customer on December 21, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is definitely a textbook, and one I would highly recommend to anyone doing any level of preaching or research on the prophetic books. It is not organized cannonically (in the order the books appear in the Bible), but rather chronologically (when it is most likely they were written). Rather than give you a straight-forward "here's how it is" factual approach Bullock outlines the various controversies and stances regarding each book.

That latter fact itself makes the book very valuable, for where commentaries or other books take one perspective and tend to present that as fact, this one presents varying perspectives. It definitely points towards one perspective in each case, supplying reasons for that support.

I'm not so sure I would recommend this for more passive Bible study, of the "I just want to learn a little more about the Bible" variety. Rather, this book is for anyone who really wants to dive in and study about the prophetic books and start to try understand them from a more academic perspective.

So, in the end, this is a solid book to supplement any Bible study being done on the prophetic books.

5.0 out of 5 starsBuy This Book
By Austin DeArmond on October 22, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
C. Hassell Bullock wrote An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books where he discusses each time period and prophetic work within Israel's history. He generally follows the same literary pattern in every chapter when discussing each work of prophetic literature: the prophet's life, an outline, the date of the work, the literary nature and authenticity of the work, any historical issues concerning the book, an analysis of the book, and the writer's theology and message. The book is compiled based upon the period in which the writer is authoring his work: Neo-Assyrian period, Neo-Babylonian period, and the Persian period. This review will be confined to the "major" prophets. They are designated as such because of the length of their works; not the importance of the content in comparison to the other prophetic works in the OT.

Isaiah: Prophet Par Excellence

Isaiah is considered by the author to be "...a bright star in the prophetic constellation of the 8th century B.C., soaring like an eagle in his literary and theological distinction." Concerning the authenticity and authorship of the book, Bullock does not believe that Isaiah is a composite of oracles by different authors in the Isaiah tradition but an "anthology of genuine Isaiah prophecies" written over a long period of time by a man with ample personal, spiritual, and cultural assets. The book of Isaiah itself is split up into two parts (part 1: chaps. 1-33 and part 2: chaps. 34-66) with seven main divisions: chs. 1-12, 13-23, 24-27, 28-33, 34-35, 36-39, and 40-66. Recognizing the fear of oversimplification, the author reduces Isaiah's theology to two encompassing ideas found within the text of chapter one: "my people" and "the Holy One of Israel."

5.0 out of 5 starsStill outstanding and helpful
By C2CRev on September 20, 2007
Format: Hardcover
Bullock gives a quick grasp of major history, theological, biographical, stylistic themes and issues you'll encounter in the research. He's a guide with sound reasoning and perspective. Direct and complete enough to start in-depth research on a sound path. His judicious accounts of the pertinent history save me hours. My copy is 20 years old, and I still use it every time I prepare any OT prophet sermon. Emphasis on crisis preaching never goes out of date.

5.0 out of 5 starsI Recommend
By leea on April 13, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I'm a Seminary student and this is the book chosen by the instructor. The first semester the class studied the Major Prophets. The book was so detailed and enlightened that the class requested a study of the minor prophets as well. It is a good start if you've never studied the prophets. I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 starsUnderstand the Difficult Books Easily...
By Laura Lewis on June 30, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is certainly an excellent resource for understanding the Old Testament prophetic books that have puzzled generations of people who don't know why those books are so important to our daily lives. These are books of great wisdom given to men directly from God and contain lessons of life that are just as important today as they were back when first written. I strongly recommend this book for all Christians, especially Bible students and Sunday School teachers. It is a must-have for every Christian library!

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperior history of the latter prophets
By eric j. swierczek on February 10, 2001
Format: Hardcover
Dr. Bullock has written a comprehensive look at the latter prophets, from Jonah to Malachi. This book is a must have for all those interested in the history of the Old Testament. The bibliography alone is worth the price of the book.
