THE LOST WORLD OF THE PROPHETS:
Old Testament Prophecy & Apocalyptic
Literature in Ancient Context
By John H. Walton
IVP Academic. 183 pages. £13.99
ISBN 978 1 514 004 890

Reading and preaching the Old Testament prophets can be one of the most challenging aspects of Bible reading. The world of the prophets seems to be a million miles away from our culture. Any help that is available is most welcome.

John Walton has gained a reputation for serving up the fruit of truckloads of Biblical scholarship with crisp succinctness and a lightness of touch. He does so again here.
