Bringing Prophets to Life: A Timely Look at a Timeless Story

In this book Rabbi Neil Winkler offers us a masterful source of inspiration and insight into the early prophets. He shows us that in order to understand the vital messages of the stories, we must go beyond a simple translation of the text and identify the themes of the stories, as well as the struggles and challenges that faced the outstanding personalities of each era: the warriors and the women, the prophets and the kings. This is an invaluable tool for educators who want to instil in their students a love – even a passion – for Torah. It will lay the foundation for an intellectually honest approach to the biblical text, one that will serve students well in future years. Not for teachers alone, this book is for anyone who desires to study the works of our prophets in depth and get a better appreciation of the flow and themes of the narrative – it is for anyone who wants to bring the prophets to life.
