Le leggende che descrivono la vita dei Santi Padri del deserto furono inizialmente probabilmente raccolte da Frate Domenico Cavalca (1270-1342); sono poi arrivate a noi grazie alle edizioni successive del Manni (1952) e di Isidoro del Lungo (1862) a cui fa riferimento questo audiolibro. Le storie dei Santi Padri sono ricche di insegnamenti nella continua lotta e superamento delle tentazioni del demonio, e, grazie anche al linguaggio trecentesco, solo lievemente ammodernato nell'edizione ottocentesca, riportano tutta la freschezza e la purezza della necessità di ascesi per il proprio sviluppo spirituale.

Concludono l'antico Testamento i libri dei profeti. Il profeta è l'uomo di Dio: animato dal suo Spirito, ha una parola da rivolgere al re o a Israele da parte di JHWH. Egli esprime il giudizio di Dio sul loro agire. Se Israele e il re sono stati infedeli agli impegni dell'alleanza, la parola del profeta rivela il loro peccato e preannunzia il castigo; se invece il popolo ha già scontato la pena, gli annunzia la prossima liberazione.
