In the Hebrew Scriptures, they are one book. In our Bible, they are twelve books. They are called the Minor Prophets due to their length, but not due to their importance. They are often overlooked, and so they are usually unfamiliar.
In
our fall session for Bible Matters, we will have an overview of
each book. We will not be digging
terribly deep into any book due to time.
Rather, we will be considering the main theme of each book and what makes
each prophet’s message unique.
Bible Matters
meets on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM. All are
welcome. Questions and discussions are
encouraged.
The tentative schedule is below.
