RGB2210HF -- THE CALL TO PROPHECY: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel -- M. Kolarcik, S.J. September 2004Textbook for the course: It was my intent to offer D.J. Zucker's book on the prophets as a text, but it is out of print. So I asked Crux bookstore to keep a number of copies of the two volume work by Klaus Koch listed below on the prophets. If you want to have a good general introduction to all the prophets I would suggest you buy those volumes.
