This book offers an overview of the prophetic response in the Old Testament, tracing the formation and rhetorical development of prophecy from Genesis to Malachi. It highlights how prophets, shaped by their historical and theological contexts, became God’s voice in times of crisis—confronting kings, challenging injustice, and calling people back to covenantal fidelity. Through diverse rhetorical strategies—poetry, prose, lament, symbolic actions they conveyed Yahweh’s purposes with boldness and compassion. The book examines how these prophetic voices, rooted in divine calling, endured suffering and rejection while remaining faithful to their mission. Their legacy continues to speak powerfully into the life of the church today.
