(4) 4-6 This scholarly presentation describes each of twenty prophets, from Moses to Malachi. The word "prophet" is written in Hebrew throughout, reflecting the book's focus on the prophets' roles in Jewish tradition. The book lacks adequate background information and may confuse readers who don't know much about early Jewish history, nevertheless, it's beautifully illustrated with reproductions of classic paintings of its subjects.
