( ) NO OF PAGES: 263 SUB CAT I: Prophecy SUB CAT II: Apocalyptic SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: What are we to make of Isaiah's image of swords being beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, or of Mount Zion becoming the highest of the mountains? Or what of Daniel's "beast rising out of the sea"? And how can Peter claim on the day of Pentecost that the prophecy of Joel is being fulfilled, with signs in heaven and wonders on earth, the sun turned to darkness and the moon to blood? Brent Sandy carefully considers the language and imagery of prophecy and apocalyptic, how it is used, how it is fulfilled within Scripture, and how we should read it against the horizon of our future. Clearly and engagingly written, "Plowshares and Pruning Hooks" is the kind of book that gives its readers a new vantage point from which to view the landscape of prophetic and apocalyptic language and imagery.NOTES: Purchased from CBD.

What are we to make of Isaiah's image of Mount Zion as the highest of the mountains, or Zechariah's picture of the Mount of Olives split in two, or Daniel's "beast rising out of the sea" or Revelation's "great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns"? How can Peter claim that on the day of Pentecost the prophecy of Joel was being fulfilled, with signs in heaven and wonders on earth, the sun turned to darkness and the moon to blood?The language and imagery of biblical prophecy has been the source of puzzlement for many Christians and a point of dispute for some. How ironic that is! For the prophets and seers were the wordsmiths of their time. They took pains to speak God's word clearly and effectively to their contemporaries.How should we, as citizens of the twenty-first century, understand the imagery of this ancient biblical literature? Are there any clues in the texts themselves, any principles we can apply as we read these important but puzzling biblical texts?D. Brent Sandy carefully considers the language and imagery of prophecy and apocalyptic, how it is used, how it is fulfilled within Scripture, and how we should read it against the horizon of our future. Clearly and engagingly written, Plowshares and Pruning Hooks is the kind of book that gives its readers a new vantage point from which to view the landscape of prophetic and apocalyptic language and imagery.
