| Résumé : |
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 that 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?
The language and imagery of biblical prophecy has been the source of puzzlement for many Christians and a point of dispute for some. 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. |
