Starozavjetni proroci

The book Old Testament Prophets by the prominent Croatian biblical scholar and theologian Fr. Boža Lujić, published by Kršćanska sadašnjost, is considered one of the most thorough and eminent works on the topic of Old Testament prophecy in the Croatian language. In this extensive scientific and textbook work, the author avoids a template and schematic approach and approaches each of the twenty or so prophets analyzed holistically — harmonizing the historical and social context of their time with deep theological and anthropological insights.

Lujić analyzes in detail the structure of prophetic speeches, performs an exegetical analysis of key texts, and explains the role of prophets as steadfast heralds of God's word who fearlessly speak out against social injustice, moral decline, and formalism in religion. Through comparisons and synthetic reflections, the work shows how the prophetic message does not belong only to distant history, but directly protects human dignity and universal human rights. Written in an exceptionally clear, concise, and accessible style, the book is an invaluable resource for students of theology, but also for all readers who want to understand the message and context of the Old Testament more deeply.
