Thus saith the Lord : the revolutionary moral… di Richard E. Rubenstein
Helpful historic background for the prophetic writings of Isaiah and Jeremiah (and Jesus a little).

Lots of endnotes. I picked up the Uncorrected Proof of the book.

But I guess I like my history humanized a bit, and this didn't work for me.… (altro)
