Confrontations with prophets: Discovering the Old Testament's new and contemporary significance

Hans Walter Wolff builds upon the results of contemporary research - including his own commentaries - in an attempt to sketch the major themes in the classical prophets Amos, Hosea, and Micah. Wolff raises many questions about current forms of proclamation and examines what is new in the new covenant. He also includes a practical guide on how to recognize false prophets. In clear, non-technical language, this book underscores the continuing relevance of the prophets for theology and preaching today.
