The good news from the Minor Prophets is that, even in dire times, God
speaks.
While the Minor Prophets are among the most succinct books of the Old
Testament, their theological richness has much to offer us today. And
not only did they have something to say to their original audience, but
God continues to speak through their words in ways that are of utmost
importance for the continued flourishing of God's people. In this unique
introduction to the Minor Prophets, biblical scholars Craig Bartholomew
and Heath Thomas survey the twelve books and explore the theological
themes of each. Filled with helpful exegetical insights, this book is an
invaluable guide for students, pastors, and scholars looking for a
cohesive exploration of these often-overlooked books of the Hebrew
Bible.
More than a survey of the text, each chapter offers theological insights
that help frame the message of the Minor Prophets for preaching and
living in our world today. This introduction contextualizes the Minor
Prophets within a larger biblical-theological framework, illuminating
these twelve books as masterful works of literature that address the
realities of human life with unblinking honesty and uncompromising hope.
