Author(s): Donald Jackson
Prophets is the fourth of seven full-color reproduction books of The Saint John?s Bible,featuring some of the most beautiful passages in all of Sacred Scripture. The ancient prophets of Israel suffered and celebrated with the people they both admonished and praised. They provided words of consolation during times of oppression and kept the flame of hope alive during the darkest periods of Israelite and Jewish history. Christians honor the prophets as those who foretold the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as is evidenced by the many references to the prophets in the New Testament. The prophetic message is as relevant today as it was in ancient Israel. The prophets continue to call us to respond to God?s love and offer their unvarnished judgment on our behavior. Jackson?s images amplify the prophetic word, keeping the flame of hope alive today.
Prophets includes artistic depictions from Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Micah, Amos, Daniel, and Zechariah. Major images are Isaiah?s Vision of the New Temple, Suffering Servant, Ezekiel?s Cal, Valley of the Dry Bones, Daniel?s Son of Man, Amos ? Plea for Social Justice, and Zechariah?s Messianic Predictions. In addition, famous passages such as Isaiah 2:4 He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more receive special calligraphic and artistic treatment.
