"as an introductory work, it is especially valuable because he is not sidetracked by extremely nuanced academic disagreement. He focuses on the broader structure of each prophet and how the composition reflects scribal changes and developments." (The Biblical Review, 1 November 2015) "The strength of Troxel's Prophetic Literature: From Oracle toBooks is in its portrayal of the scribal intentions as theyused and reused the prophetic oracles according to the needs of thecommunity. The prophetic literature emerges from the past to speakonce again." --Beverly Cushman, Westminster College "Troxel has written a thorough and careful analysis of the waysin which prophetic oracles were shaped into books by later scribes.An excellent introduction to the prophets in light of contemporaryscholarship." --John J. Collins, Yale
