| Summary: | How many of us really feel that the prophets of the Old Testament were actually men and women? Is not our attitude somewhat that of the college student of whom Professor H. Moore Stevens tells the following story? He had been lecturing on the history of Solomon and his relations with the trans-Jordanic regions. After the class a student said to him, "Professor, do you really mean that Solomon was a real person? I thought he was just somebody in the Bible." Every effort we can make to give a sense of record to the prophet is a gain. Dr. Longacre's article will help to make Jeremiah something more than a name. |
