3. Tradition AnalysisRather than being the mavericks of morality and spirituality earlier biblical scholars made them out to be, recent theological research has demonstrated that the prophets stand in continuity with Israel's narrative traditions.

All in all, there is a considerable network of interdependence linking prophet to prophet and prophet to traditions.
