The Hebrew prophets inspired some of the most stirring, challenging, and influential books of the Bible. Their teachings left an indelible mark on both Judaism and Christianity. But do we really know them? The prophets are both familiar and misunderstood, ubiquitous and mysterious. Join Rabbi Michael Knopf (Temple Beth-El) and Reverend Hollie Woodruff (Seventh Street Christian Church – Disciples of Christ) for an interactive, interfaith exploration of the Hebrew prophets. In this first session, “The World of the Prophets,” we study the history and context that gave rise to the biblical prophets.
