The Message of the Prophets (OT4)
The prophetic books of the Old Testament are certainly among the most fascinating works of literature ever written. Through them, God spoke to His ancient people Israel and continues to speak to us today. Our class will examine both major and minor prophets – their context, content and meaning for today.
