    About this ebook

    Jubal is the son of an important priest in the First Temple; the prophet is Jeremiah; and the time is Jerusalem under siege by the Babylonian Army. Jubal’s father leads the struggle against Babylon. Jeremiah pleads for submission to Babylon.

    Jubal, of course, would rather follow his father, but in spite of this natural desire, he is convinced by the message and personality of Jeremiah. His struggles lead him directly into adventure. With his friend Ezra he outwits the commander of the gates of Jerusalem, the jailer who would torture the prophet, and then this boy of courage and wisdom fights heroically in the final battle.

    All this, and more is the theme of the book, a story that is filled with constant action, colorful background and human as well as spiritual emotion.

    “Jeremiah was the most disquieting of all the prophets. To this day there are some who call him traitor. If, however, a prophet is—as I believe he is—God’s instrument, a man who speaks because a Power greater than he compels him to speak, there can be no question about Jeremiah’s integrity. Nevertheless, the human being is also present; and it is the tension between the prophet’s function as God’s mouthpiece, and his humanity as a patriot, that constitutes the theme of this book: he must condemn his people and his country even while he loves them.”—Frieda Clark Hyman

    Frieda Clark Hyman

    FRIEDA CLARK HYMAN was a Jewish author, poet and playwright. Born in New York, she graduated from Hunter College and then attended the College of Jewish Studies of the Jewish Theological Seminary. She also studied at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. While active as a teacher, housewife and mother of two, she found time to write poetry, short stories, plays, essays and books, especially exploring the gift of the Jewish faith. Hyman was the author of a series of books devoted to the Jewish experience, including Jubal and the Prophet (1958), Builders of Jerusalem: In the Time of Nehemiah (also published as Victory on the Walls) (1960), and The Jewish Experience (1974). Her extensive writing, her travels, and her many committed activities filled a long life and won her recognition. Hyman moved to Jerusalem in 1971. BERNARD KRIGSTEIN (1919-1990) was an American illustrator and gallery artist who received acclaim for his innovative and influential approach to comic book art, notably in EC Comics. Born on March 22, 1919 in Brooklyn, New York City, he was trained as a classical painter. He drew for Harvey Comics and the publisher Prize Comics through 1943, during the period referred to as the Golden Age of Comic Books. Following WWII, he picked up again in 1946, working for numerous publishers. He produced the most acclaimed stories of his career between 1953-1955 for EC Comics. He died on January 8, 1990, aged 70.
