[Preface] The Bible pulsates with life, and the Spirit conveys the electrifying power of Scripture to those who lay hold of it by faith, ingest it, and live by it. [Introduction to Daniel] Slow to anger and abounding in love, God sent prophet after prophet to rebellious Israel, threatening Judgment and covenant curses if his people failed to keep their obligations under the covenant made at Mount Sinai (2 Chron. 36:15-16). [Introduction to Hosea] " The Book of Hosea is the most scandalous book of the Bible." [Introduction to Joel] This book is presented as a message from God given to Joel. [Introduction to Amos] The book of Amos delivers a resounding message from God to Israel regarding judgment coming against the northern kingdom for its sin. [Introduction to Obadiah] The book of Obadiah is chiefly a prophecy of judgment against Edom (e.g., vv.4-9, 16-18), although at points this judgment is extended to non-Edomite territories surrounding Judea (vv. 19-20). [Introduction to Jonah] The theme of the book of Jonah is the Lord as a God of worldwie grace, mercy, and love who desires to save all people. [Introduction to Micah] The book of Micah is found in the middle of the Minor Prophets, and in fact it contains the middle verse of the twelve minor prophets: a prophecy of judgment on the holy city of Zion and its temple (3:12). [Introduction to Nahum] The book of Nahum announces God's response to human wrongs, whether against God or against other human beings. [Introduction to Habakkuk] The book of Habakkuk consists of a series of dialogues between the prophet Habakkuk and God that wrestle with the issue of God's justice. [Introduction to Zephaniah] The book of Zephaniah is the Savior's summons to satisfaction. [Introduction to Haggai] Haggai is both a challenge and an encouragement to rebuild with hope, written to a generation who had been without a temple for sixty-six years and who feared that God was no longer with them. [Introduction to Zechariah] The book of Zechariah anticipates the coming kingdom of God. [Introduction to Malachi] Malachi addressed the covenant community of Israel during a time of great discouragement and disarray following its return from exile in Babylon. | |

[Introduction to Joel] An important parallel can be drawn to the way in which the OT prophets used the exodus concept for the return of the people after exile (Jer. 16:14) and the way in which that concept was used in the NT of Jesus' saving ministry, the ultimate act of "exodus" from exile for God's people (cf ESV mg. at Luke 9:31). [Plus outline] (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)[Introduction to Obadiah] All leadership roles among God's people (e.g. 1 Tim. 3:1-16) are ultimately subordinate to Christ himself, who ascended in triumph and "gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers" for the building of the church (Eph. 4:7-14, esp. v. 11). [Plus outline] (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)[Introduction to Jonah] I find myself hesitant to take an approach different from that of the majority of readers since ancient times, especially considering that their world view was probably more in keeping with the writer of Jonah's than is my own. [Plus outline] (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)[Introduction to Habakkuk] Although it is an attractive text, the conclusion emerges from a book where each part builds on what has gone before, and congregations need to appreciate how this conclusion derives from a serious engagement with the issues of God's justice if they are to appreciate just how radical it is.
