Endorsements

"The prophets come vividly alive in these marvelous essays by one of our greatest Old Testament theologians in recent times. The essays on Ezekiel alone are worth the price of the book. Zimmerli probes deeply into the texts and writes clearly and with much theological acumen."
– Patrick D. Miller, Princeton Theological Seminary, Author of They Cried to the Lord: The Form and Theology of Biblical Prayer
