What are we to make of Isaiah's image swords being beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, or of Mount Zion becoming the highest of the mountains ? Or what of Daniel's "beast rising out of the sea" ?

Clearly and engagingly written, Plowshares and Pruning Hooks is the kind of book that gives its readers a new vantage point from which to view the landscape of prophetic and apocalyptic language and imagery.
