Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Message of the Twelve Prophets Several reasons have influenced the author in preparing this book. The first is that those who have spent their lives studying the prophetic books of the Bible, as well as those who have studied these books even in a cursory fashion, are agreed that "they form the key to all the chief problems of Old Testament study, and without them no one can hope to make any real progress in the knowledge of the Old Testament as a whole." Another reason is well expressed by Cornill in his Prophets of Israel: "The whole history of humanity has produced nothing which can be compared in the remotest degree with the prophecy of Israel. Through prophecy Israel became the prophet of mankind. Let this never be overlooked or forgotten - the costliest and noblest treasure that man possesses he owes to Israel and to Israelitic prophecy." These studies are an attempt to make the Minor Prophets a subject for devotional study. They have therefore been arranged in brief daily portions and are printed so that questions can be answered in writing. It is of the first importance that this should be done. The text used in preparing this volume is that of the American Standard Edition of the Revised Version which should be used by students. The questions, oftentimes, will be unintelligible in connection with other texts of the Bible. The studies are arranged so that each of the prophets forms a book study by itself, covering one or more complete weeks. Students are urged, while studying a particular book, to read it through occasionally. In no other way can the message in its entirety be grasped. For this purpose the volumes on the Minor Prophets in the Modern Reader´s Bible and in the Temple Bible are recommended.
