Of course, they were spokesmen for God, but another reason is their powerful manner of speaking-writing. In this book, an oral-rhetorical approach illumines their techniques and their relevance for students of Scripture today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCase studies are mostly from the \"minor\" prophets, but also include the more familiar texts of Ezekiel 33-37 and Isaiah 53.
