Prophecy is one of the most rewarding topics for Bible study—once one manages to overcome the challenging subject matter and unfamiliar literary forms. In Back Toward the Future, Walter Kaiser provides interpretive methods that remove these obstacles.
Kaiser shows readers how to discern conditional and unconditional prophecies, comprehend apocalyptic symbols, and understand future events in expressions of the past. He avoids speculative methods that find double meanings in prophetic statements, urging readers to embrace the prophet’s single-truth intention.

In this volume, he remedies that problem by collecting 14 of the most influential scholarly essays of the past—ones that have been unfairly ignored by modern scholars.

Did they squeeze fulfilled prophecy out of dry passages? Walter Kaiser traces the development of redaction and canon criticism, answering their bold questions head on.
