Book Summary
This beautifully illustrated collection of Jewish prophecy features the lives and teachings of thirty men and women. They range from the biblical prophets through the thinkers and leaders of medieval times to modern-day visionaries and activists. Throughout the ages, they bravely stood up to speak God's message and made a lasting contribution to our understanding of both the human and the Divine. This book also provides an inspiring and informative description of the role each played in their own time -- and an explanation of why we should know about them in our time. The lives and words of these passionate advocates for change are still a source of great inspiration today. Illustrated with illuminations from medieval Hebrew manuscripts, The Jewish Prophet is a richly decorated and fascinating collection of inspiration and wisdom, and the only book to gather together prophecy from ancient, medieval, and modern times.
