5 Prophets

The fourth in a seven volume set of full-color reproductions from the Saint John’s Prophets features some of the most beautiful passages in all of Sacred Scripture. The ancient prophets of Israel suffered and celebrated with the people they both admonished and praised. They provided words of consolation during times of oppression and kept the flame of hope alive during the darkest periods of Israelite and Jewish history. Christians honor the prophets as those who foretold the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as is evidenced by the many references to the prophets in the New Testament.

The prophetic message is as relevant today as it was in ancient Israel. The prophets continue to call us to respond to God’s love and offer their unvarnished judgment on our behavior. Jackson’s images amplify the prophetic words, keeping the flame of hope alive today. This extraordinary undertaking of our time brings the reader to an epiphany of the sacred. Those who allow themselves to savor the experience unfolding before them will some to see how Prophets beautifully marries text and image to serve the Word. Saint John’s Bible is “America’s Book of Kells” says Newsweek.
