This book is a work of criticism and exposition. Shakespeare, Dostoevski, Cervantes, Thoreau, Melville, Whitman, Rilke, Randolph Bourne --these are the prophets to be expounded, related, excoriated . But behind them are the original prophets, the great Hebrew prophets, and the greatest prophet of them all, the Galilean.
