Vision from the Prophet and Counsel from the Elders:A Survey of Nevi'im and KetuvimRabbi Hayyim AngelPublished in Associaiton with the OU PressIn this survey of Nevi'im and Ketuvim, Rabbi Hayyim Angel achieves a rare combination of breadth and depth. While focusing on broad themes and universal messages, the treatment is far from superficial or perfunctory. Rabbi Angel presents one or more chapters on each book of Nevi'im, and Ketuvim, with each chapter analyzing in depth a representative aspect of the book.
