The Prophetical Stories The Narratives about the Prophets in the Hebrew Bible, Their Literary Types and History (Third Edition) By Alexander Rofe <http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Alexander+Rofe.aspx?name=Alexander+ Rofe> In this volume the author attempts to describe the whole prophetical narrative in the Hebrew Bible, delimiting the extent of the single stories and establishing the date of their composition, their ideas and message.The discussion centers on the problem of the literary genres, whether the stories are history, legend, parable or any other genre.The artistic value of some of these biblical masterpieces is highlighted. The conclusions bear upon the value of the prophetical stories as sources for the political and religious history of ancient Israel. This third edition has been extensively revised and augmented. The second edition, published in 1986, was translated into English, Italian and Russian. Prof. Alexander Rofe interests cover the history of biblical literature and religion, text-criticism and interpretation.
