About the Book

Fiery. Fearless. Hope-filled.A Friendly Guide to the Prophets opens a window onto the dramatic prophetic movement of ancient Israel a movement that often stood in tension with power, privilege and established religion. Far from fortune-tellers, the prophets were passionate voices of God, speaking words of challenge and judgement, yet always holding out hope.Who were these bold figures? Why did prophecy emerge when it did and why does it still speak so powerfully today? Through the lives and preaching of Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, this guide reveals the enduring force of their message.Their world, in many ways, mirrors our own. And so the question lingers: are there prophets among us still?

About the Author :
Brian Boyle is a biblical scholar and educator with a particular interest in the prophetic tradition of the Old Testament. With extensive experience in teaching and pastoral formation, he brings historical insight and theological depth to the complex and compelling voices of the prophets. His writing invites readers to encounter the prophets not as distant figures of the past, but as urgent and hope-filled witnesses who continue to speak into the challenges of today.

Review :

"This book is a very fine introduction to the message of the main prophets of the Old Testament. Historical and theological issues are presented in such a didactic manner that reading and learning go hand in hand. Maps, charts and pictures offer additional information without overwhelming the reader. The whole book breathes a deep pastoral concern to bring the prophetic message on justice and peace to our personal lives and communities. More than a guide, it's a companion!"

Professor Dr Ulrich Berges,
University of Bonn, Germany

"Boyle makes the academic accessible ... He finds that prophecy was not primarily about foretelling the future but "in changing people's behaviour and perceptions now". He also observes a "disturbing familiarity" between the world of the prophets and our own society. Israel's prophets challenge the modern reader as much as they challenged their own listeners. What better reason to read this guide!"

Associate Professor Mark O'Brien OP,
University of Divinity, Melbourne
