{"product_id":"9781433683770","title":"The Message of the Twelve: Hearing the Voice of the Minor Prophets","description":"Although they ministered for more than three centuries during some of Israel’s most tumultuous days, the Minor Prophets remain a mystery to many Christians in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Old Testament scholars Richard Alan Fuhr, Jr. and Gary E. Yates believe that the message of the twelve Minor Prophets is relevant for the church today, and they re-introduce these important books of the Bible to contemporary Christians. Ideal for use as a textbook as well as for personal study, \u003ci\u003eThe Message of the Twelve\u003c\/i\u003e surveys the historical background of each prophetic book, the prophet’s message and themes, as well as the book’s place in the biblical canon. The authors also provide in-depth exposition of each book—from Hosea’s metaphor of Israel’s infidelity and Nahum’s warnings of foreign judgments, to Haggai’s postexilic call and Malachi’s vision of future restoration. \u003ci\u003eThe Message of the Twelve \u003c\/i\u003egoes beyond typical biblical surveys to examine the key interpretive issues in each book, including important literary insights from the Hebrew text.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on the prophets’ proclamations to ancient Israel and Judah, the authors emphasize that the church today must heed the call to reject apathy and return to a vibrant relationship with the living God.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"B\u0026H Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154044698864,"sku":"9781433683770","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433683770_p0.jpg?v=1763753393","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433683770","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
