The Minor Prophets

Here’s a quick Bible test:

1. Can you name all the minor prophets?

2. Can you name them in order?

3. Do you know when and to whom each minor prophet prophesied?

4. Do you know what message each minor prophet preached?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, or even if you do, you might enjoy our next adult Sunday School class beginning in mid-January on “The Minor Prophets”. It will consist of twenty-six mostly expository lessons covering all sixty-six chapters in the twelve minor prophet books.

There are many excellent commentaries for each individual minor prophet, but commentaries on all twelve are more difficult to find. A good commentary by James Montgomery Boice is available from Amazon for about $32. Boice is less technical and more pastoral than many other commentary writers.

The Minor Prophets dramatize the character of God as few other books in the Bible do… they particularly highlight three aspects of God’s character: His sovereignty, His holiness, and His love. The messages of the Minor Prophets and their pertinent application for our lives should not be dismissed.

… Boice not only explains the meaning of the text verse by verse and section by section, he also relates the text’s concerns to the world in which we live, the life of the church, and the realities of the Christian life.

You don’t need to purchase the commentary as the lecture notes will be posted on our church’s website in advance of each class. However, if you wish to order the commentary, just click the link to Amazon below.
