Sage Priest Prophet
$37.00
In this volume in the Library of Ancient Israel, the author investigates three forms of biblical Israel’s intellectual and religious leadership; the sage, the priest, and the prophet. He looks at the development and character of these roles and how they functioned in their particular time and place. This investigation will lead to a keener understanding of the literature of the Old Testament and the society in which it evolved. It will also shed light on how certain religious traditions originated and how they have developed.
