Prophecy and the Biblical Prophets Reviews

'Sawyer has always extended the boundaries of biblical criticism: his textbook covers much more ground than most. The original edition included the interpretation of prophecy in Judaism, Christianity and Islam; now a chapter on feminist issues is added. The bibliography is also updated. Highly recommended.'
