Hear, O Heavens and Listen, O Earth: An Introduction to the Prophets

In Hear, O Heavens and Listen, O Earth, Joan E. Cook guides students of theology, Scripture, and ministry in reading the prophetic books according to the current methodologies for biblical study, and with an eye to applying their message to contemporary religious and social concerns. She focuses on how to read the Old Testament books of the prophets, addressing the concerns of students in theology and ministerial programs. The study proceeds chronologically and biblical quotations and references are based on the New Revised Standard Version. Cook encourages students to engage the biblical text and suggests points for reflection and questions for thought and action based on each of the prophetic books.
