"Not an easy read by any means, but very worthwhile. This was Heschel's doctorial thesis, so it's heavy on the academia. If you want a fantastic look at the Hebrew prophets, this book does a terrific job of detailing their lives and their process."
"This two volume set covering all the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible was assigned reading for Dennis Haas' one-year introductory course sequence on the biblical canon. It was a very good choice. I was reading the bible from cover to cover for the first time and knew a lot of Greco-Roman history, but little of the period from other perspectives. Heschel worked well as an introduction to the Hebrew perspective. He also touched my heart as Martin Buber had, making me feel Jewish--or at least wanting to be Jewish. The two of them together with the Rev. Haas, our college chaplain and a UTS graduate, were influential in my eventual decision to attend the seminary where they had once taught in New York City."
"Heschel's serious take on the prophets is well worth the read. He provides an Old Testament, Rabbinical look at the prophets by book as well as overarching themes including history and justice. It is most commonly read in the academic setting, but I would encourage every minister (lay and ordained) to have a copy on hand."
"I have read the vast majority of this book for a graduate level Prophets course. It's commentary is extraordinarily helpful in understanding both the major and minor prophets of the Hebrew Bible. In particular I appreciated how Heschel embeds the word into his commentary. Through his work, Heschel helps develop what the prophet Hosea calls daath elohim - an intimate sensitivity for who God is and God hopes and desires for relationship with humanity and all creation."
