They were\u003cbr\u003epre-eminently preachers of righteousness. Fearless and undaunted, they\u003cbr\u003etold the house of Israel their sins and the house of Jacob their\u003cbr\u003etransgressions. They contemplated the facts of life from the highest\u003cbr\u003epoint of view. For them religion and morality were blended, ethics and\u003cbr\u003epolitics were one. Theirs was peculiarly a social message; the demand\u003cbr\u003efor justice underlies all their thinking and speaking. They had a\u003cbr\u003everitable passion for righteousness; through all the ages their words\u003cbr\u003ehave been torches lighting the way of men struggling upward towards\u003cbr\u003ethe truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough living over twenty-six hundred years ago, these men are very\u003cbr\u003emodern. As a great thinker has well said, \"The spirit of the prophets\u003cbr\u003eof Israel is in the modern soul.\" The foremost workers for the welfare\u003cbr\u003eof their fellowmen to-day posit social justice as the first article of\u003cbr\u003etheir program. The world to-day, as never before, is filled with cries\u003cbr\u003efor social righteousness as the indispensable foundation for the\u003cbr\u003estructure of society. What is this but harking back to the eternal\u003cbr\u003emessage of the ancient prophets? \"Let justice flow as water\"\u003cbr\u003epassionately and unreservedly demanded Amos of old; for him and his\u003cbr\u003ebrother prophets this was the sine qua non for society's welfare; the\u003cbr\u003esame may be said of the thousands and tens of thousands to-day of\u003cbr\u003eevery creed and every nation who are toiling for the social salvation\u003cbr\u003eof their fellowmen the world over. Ages meet; the words of the ancient\u003cbr\u003epreachers of righteousness are still the inspiration for the seekers\u003cbr\u003eafter justice everywhere.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069503160560,"sku":"2940015471410","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015471410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
