THE PROPHET. Their Times And Their Ideas. by Eisenstadt, Prof. Shumuel - 1971

NY: Yiddisher Kultur Farband:, 1971. Translated from the Yiddish by Max Rosenfeld, 190 pages. This book was first published in 1926. "With respect and understanding I approach the traditional evaluation of the Phophetic personalities in which the people wished to see a direct revelation of God. But I reject that which is mystical and visionary in it, that was not historical or real. I see clearly and plainly the socio-political, everyday, economic and social background of the Prophetic visions. I try to connect them closely with the ecnomic and cultural situtation of the social structure in Judea and Israel, and with the international situation in the Orient of that time." FINE HARDCOVER..
