The story of ancient Israel, from the arrival in Canaan to the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah and the Babylonian exile some six centuries later, here is the highly anticipated second volume in Everett Fox’s landmark translation of the Hebrew Bible. The personalities who appear in the pages of The Early Prophets, and the political and moral dilemmas their stories illuminate, are part of the living consciousness of the Western world. From Joshua and the tumbling walls of Jericho to Samson and Delilah, the prophet Samuel and the tragic King Saul, David and Goliath, Bathsheba and Absalom, King Solomon’s temple, Elijah and the chariot of fire, Ahab and Jezebel—the stories of these men and women are deeply etched into Western culture because they beautifully encapsulate the human experience. The four books that comprise The Early Prophets look at tribal rivalries, dramatic changes in leadership, and the intrusions of neighboring empires through the prism of the divine-human relationship. Over the centuries, the faithful have read these narratives as demonstrations of the perils of disobeying God’s will, and time and again Jews in exile found that the stories spoke to their own situations of cultural assimilation, destruction, and the reformulation of identity. They have had an equally indelible impact on generations of Christians, who have seen in many of the narratives foreshadowings of the life and death of Jesus, as well as models for their own lives and the careers of their leaders. But beyond its importance as a foundational religious document, The Early Prophets is a great work of literature, a powerful and distinctive narrative of the past that seeks meaning in the midst of national catastrophe. Accompanied by illuminating commentary, notes, and maps, Everett Fox’s masterly translation of the Hebrew original re-creates the echoes, allusions, alliterations, and wordplays that rhetorically underscore its meaning and are intrinsic to a timeless text meant to be both studied and read aloud.

How will we begin the unfolding history of Israel after the giving of Torah? We have heard the phrase, the Law and the Prophets. The Prophets are the second major division of the Hebrew Scriptures. The prophets recount the history of Israel after the giving of the Law. The first section of the prophets is the subject of four books: Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. Each of Samuel and Kings is traditionally divided into two parts. Here we read of the occupation of the Promised Land, the early period of the Judges, the call of Samuel, prophet during the lives of Saul and David, the sweet psalmist of Israel, and we read of the progression of the kings of Israel from Solomon to the exile. What a saga! And all of it set to music in the very text itself. The center between first and second Samuel contains the elegy of David over Saul and over Jonathan, his son. Its full sadness is to be known by hearing it recited with its music. To read with the music is an unforgettable reading of the Hebrew Bible. The Former Prophets is volume 2 of the series, The Hebrew Bible and Its Music.

The Latin Nevi'im I: Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, is the second in a six-volume translation of St. Jerome's Latin Old Testament. In this volume, each verse of the Latin original is followed by its English translation. Nevi'im is a Hebrew word meaning "prophets." Two types of prophetic writings are found in Hebrew scripture. The first type, including the books of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, are written about prophets, as accounts of their words and deeds. The second type, found in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and The Twelve, or the so-called Minor Prophets, are largely the writings and sayings of the prophets themselves. These books will be released as The Latin Nevi'im II, the third volume in the series. These ancient books were originally written in Hebrew, the language of biblical Israel. They were first translated from Hebrew into Greek in the 3rd Century B.C. Saint Jerome crafted his exhaustive translation of them into Latin in the late 4th and early 5th Centuries of the Common Era (CE). The other volumes in The Latin Old Testament project include: The Latin Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, published in 2010 and 2011; The Latin Nevi'im II: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, The Twelve, to be published in 2012; The Latin Kethuvim I: Ruth, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Lamentations, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, to be published in 2013; and The Latin Kethuvim II, published as The Way of Wisdom: Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, in 2008; and The Audacity of Prayer: a Fresh Translation of the Book of Psalms, published in 2009.

The history of the entry into the Promised Land followed by the period of the Judges and early monarchy may not appear to readers today as a source for expounding the Christian faith. But the church fathers readily found parallels, or types, in the narrative that illumined the New Testament. An obvious link was the similarity in name between Joshua, Moses' successor, and Jesus—indeed, in Greek the names are identical. Thus Joshua was consistently interpreted as a type of Christ. So too was Samuel. David was recognized as an ancestor of Jesus, and parallels between their two lives were readily explored. And Ruth, in ready fashion, was seen as a type of the church. Among the most important sources for commentary on these books are the homilies of Origen, most of which are known to us through the Latin translations of Rufinus and Jerome. Only two running commentaries exist—one from Gregory of Nazianzus, one of the famous Cappadocian theologians, the other from Bede the Venerable. Another key source for the selections found here derives from question-and-answer format, such as Questions on the Heptateuch from Augustine, Questions on the Octateuch from Theodoret of Cyr, and Thirty Questions on 1 Samuel from Bede. The remainder of materials come from a wide variety of occasional and doctrinal writings, which make mention of these biblical texts to support their arguments. Readers will find a rich treasure trove of ancient wisdom, some of which appear here for the first time in English translation, speaking with eloquence and powerful spiritual insight to the church today.
