Gowan, Donald E.
Theology of the prophetic books : the death and resurrection of Israel / Donald E. Gowan. - 1st ed. - Louisville, Ky. : Westminster John Knox Press, ©1998. - xi, 250 pages ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-233) and indexes.
The prophets as theologians -- The eighth century : the Assyrian threat and the death of Israel -- The late seventh and early sixth centuries : the neo-Babylonian threat and the death of Judah -- The mid-sixth century and later : restoration to the promised land -- The continuing influence of Old Testament prophecy.
Donald Gowan offers a unified reading of the prophetic books, showing that each has a distinctive contribution to make to a central theme. These books -- Isaiah through Malachi -- respond to three key moments in Israel's history: the end of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BCE, the end of the Southern Kingdom in 587 BCE, and the beginning of the restoration from the Babylonian exile in 538 BCE. Gowan traces the theme of death and resurrection throughout these accounts, finding a symbolic message of particular significance to Christian interpreters of the Bible.
