A Smooth Stone is a historical survey of the Hebrew prophets, focusing on the development of a radical theological iconoclasm. Beginning with the preclassical seers, the book traces the expanding scope of prophetic polemic over a period of six hundred years, as it escalates from sporadic attacks on individual sin to a comprehensive assault against religion itself, culminating in a total rejection of the traditional picture of God.
