Book Review of Prophets in Conflicts: Issues in Authority, by George R. Knight
Journal of Asia Adventist Seminary 20.1-2 [2021], 2017
is a prolific author in the areas of the history of Seventhday Adventist and Ellen White's writings. His Prophets in Conflict: Issues in Authority contains a major of his thought for forty years on understanding her voluminous writings. This book, according to the author, "is my final major contribution to Ellen White's studies" and is intended to impress some important ideas to the readers. Thus, most chapters of this volume are selected from his prior publications and speeches. Only chapter ten is specifically written for this book (p. 8). There are fourteen chapters divided into five parts in this work. The first part has two chapters. In this part, the author introduces the difference between the Mormons and Seventh-day Adventists, especially on the authority of the prophets' writings. While Joseph Smith set an example to uplift his writings above the Bible, Ellen White pointed the Bible out as the truth's standard. When Joseph Smith regarded the Bible was not sufficient because it contained the incomplete truth, Ellen White accepted the Scriptures as a complete revelation of God to teach the way to salvation. These differences continue in the hermeneutical system of both denominations. However, as Knight points out, Mormon's danger, an effort to lift a prophet's writings to be at least equal with the Scriptures, always existed in the Seventh-day Adventist Church since the secondgeneration leaders took the lead (p. 36). To avoid the Mormon temptation in the Adventist church, the author provides frameworks for understanding Ellen White's writings and her authority in part two. In this section, six chapters explain this subject. The author starts with the six purposes of why the prophet wrote her writings.

As literary constructs within a coherent composition, the two types of literature – prophetical and historical – are argued to reflect each other. This is shown by way of the lenses that intertextuality and memory provide, for the authors of Isaiah and Jeremiah (both literary characters results of fanfiction over the theme ‘the man of Yahweh’) constructed // coined a relate-able version of Kings in order for their readers to imagine and remember themselves into a Brave New World: as heirs of the remnant, as heirs of the promises; as Israel.
Shorter Reviews, The Hebrew Prophets: An Introduction
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2012
bearing on how one reads it. In "The ?salms as Corpus״ (ch. 6), Brown tips his hat to the plethora of reeent work on the subjeet and then gives his own fresh reading of the ?salms as a book that takes Psalms 1 and 2 as a point of departure. The final ehapter ("The Psalms as Theologieal Anthropology") is a theological foray into what the Psalms say about God and humankind and draws from observations in previous chapters. This is an excellent introduction to the Psalms. Brown combines literary insight with theological sensitivity to illuminate the Psalms for those who read them as a resource for devotion, theology, and worship. Brown's own characterization of the book as "invitational" is appropriate. With an accessible style, judicious handling of issues, and sensitivity to literary features, Brown masterfully draws readers into and reveals the riches ofthe Psalms. JEROME ?٠ D.

The Use and Reception of the Prophets in the New Testament
Religions, 2022
This article explores the use of the Prophets in the New Testament by looking at explicit quotations, clusters of allusions and narrative patterns. It shows that the NT authors applied the Prophets to a range of issues, such as God’s inclusion of the Gentiles, as well as key events in Jesus’ life. It also demonstrates that they generally used a Greek translation of the Prophets, though sometimes a revised or indeed Christian version of the text. Like the Jews of Alexandria, they believed that this was inspired by God, though that did not prevent them modifying the text to make the application seem more obvious to the readers.

shared a paper about the characteristics and major roles of prophets in the Old Testament and whether these roles/tasks can be found in the ministry of Ellen G. White.* Testimony. Dr. Moskala started with a personal testimony on how he had gone from a fearful picture of God to the picture a loving, a "smiling" God, who wants the best for everyone and who delights in His children. He found forgiveness, a new picture of God, joy of salvation and assurance of salvation in Christ. In this context, he found God as a loving savior also in Ellen White's writings, for example in Steps to Christ: "If you give yourself to Him, and accept Him as your personal Saviour, then, sinful as your life may have been, for His sake you are accounted righteous. Christ's character stands in place of your character, and you are accepted before God as just as if you had not sinned." (p.62) Actually, her writings had a big influence on Moskala's spiritual growth. * Please note that this and other articles on the presentations held are condensed summaries in which some lines of argumentation have been abbreviated. All papers/presentations will be published in a revised form in the Journal Ellen White and Current Issues Symposium, vol. 7, 2011, at the next Symposium, i.e. March or April 2012. Orders can be made to the Center for Adventist Research.
The Summary of the Classical Prophets By Joseph Irmiya
2020
Jesus’ subsequent response to the grouped Pharisees after silencing the Sadducees with tough answers as demanded by their questions in Matthew 22:34-40 answered the question of which command is the greatest and which is second to it, and of course gave a tangible definition of the entire summary of the law and the Prophets. Thus “all the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.” However, it is acknowledged that Jesus’ summary of the entire law and prophets in these two laws is too much summarized, hence this essay seeks to advocate that in the prophetic books; both major and Minor Prophets, call to love, justice and righteousness summarize their whole message. This love most come in a tripartite form which consists of loving God with heart, soul and Spirit, and it must be in twofold; vertical and horizontal—loving God and neighbor. Furthermore, this justice is to be administered regardless of any affiliation and when these two things mentioned above are done appropriately one’s righteousness is manifested in full.
Horizons in Biblical Theology, 2010
is a fine book containing 22 excellent essays by scholars from the United States, Canada, Germany, and England. The work is divided into three parts: "Former Prophets" (four essays); "Between the Former and Latter Prophets" (five essays); and "Latter Prophets" (13 essays). Wilson, author of Prophecy and Society in Ancient Israel and six other books and numerous journal articles, is a well-known academic and beloved as a teacher, scholar, and administrator at Yale University. He is the only biblical studies faculty member to hold full, dual appointments in Religious Studies and the Divinity School (p. 5). Writing in the Introductory Celebration (pp. 1-10), editors John J. Ahn and Stephen L. Cook give this praise and assessment of Wilson's work and life: In the classroom, he has always been very popular. Undergrads have remarked how 'cool' and 'fascinating' he makes the subject. Divinity School students see Dr. Wilson as simply brilliant. His graduate students literally follow his every word. As for his colleagues, they see him as a cornerstone of the institution (p. 5). Additional accolades to Wilson span pages two and three. They point to the academic breadth of his work and the collegiality of his professional life. The contributors in their essays likewise signal out his humor as well as his listening ability as a counselor and his outstanding theological mind. The volume is not only an outstanding tribute to someone greatly loved and respected in the field of biblical studies but also, fittingly, is composed of top scholarship, something a reader expects from Ahn and Cook. The essays run between seven and 19 pages in length. In addition to Ahn and Cook who each contribute, the others in the volume are
