Exegeting a textburrowing deep into its history, language, and
literary structureis an indispensable skill for any serious student
of the Bible. Given their theological richness and poetic power,
the prophetic texts of the Hebrew Bible would seem to be prime
candidates for exegetical examination, but they often pose
difficulty. In this book, James Nogalski offers solid, practical
guidance on how to read and exegete a prophetic text in its
literary, historical, and conceptual contexts. Assuming no prior
knowledge of Hebrew, Nogalski devises an exegetical method that
focuses on the distinctive elements of prophetic literature, rather
than on the narrative material one finds in practically all
introductions to exegesis. He provides clear examples for
understanding poetic texts, prophetic genres, changing voices, and
other important aspects of these texts. This book offers essential
tools to help readers navigate the particular challenges and
opportunities of interpreting the prophets.
