The Book of the Twelve Prophets, Vol. 2 of 2: Commonly Called the Minor (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of the Twelve Prophets, Vol. 2 of 2: Commonly Called the Minor
The necessity of including within one volume so many prophets, scattered over more than three centuries, and each of them requiring a separate introduction, has reduced the space available for the practical application of their teaching to modern life. But this is the less to be regretted, that the contents of the nine books before us are not so applicable to our own day, as we have found their greater predecessors to be. On the other hand, however, they form a more varied introduction to Old Testament Criticism, while, by the long range of time which they cover, and the many stages of religion to which they belong, they afford a wider view of the development of prophecy. Let us look for a little at these two points.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives and messages of nine biblical prophets who lived during a tumultuous period of history spanning over three centuries, from the 7th century BCE to the Greek period. The author meticulously examines the historical context surrounding each prophet, shedding light on the political, social, and religious landscapes that shaped their prophecies. Through detailed analysis, the author explores the evolution of Hebrew prophecy, demonstrating how it transitioned from the classic style of direct pronouncements and ethical appeals to more intricate forms incorporating symbolism, apocalyptic visions, and reflections on the past. The book delves into the prophets' responses to significant events such as the decline of the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonian Exile, and the rise of Greek influence. Readers will gain insights into the prophets' struggles with doubt, their unwavering faith in God's justice, and their profound pronouncements on Israel's destiny and role in the world. By illuminating the historical circumstances and theological depth of these prophetic figures, this book offers a captivating journey through a pivotal era in biblical history, revealing timeless truths about faith, morality, and the enduring power of hope.
