The Twelve: The "Minor" Prophets Speak Today - Biblical Character Studies, by Dr. Walter C. Kaiser, Jr.

The Books of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. It is not known when these short works were collected and transferred onto a single scroll, but the first extra-biblical evidence for the Twelve as a collection is c. 190 BCE. Evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls suggests that the modern order of the Tanakh, which would include the twelve, was established by 150 BCE. It is believed that initially the first six were collected, and later the second six were added, the two groups complementing each other. From Hosea through Micah, the question of iniquity was front and center; from Nahum through Malachi solutions were provided.  Although written many, many centuries ago these twelve men have something to say to us today. Let us listen as they speak. 148 pages. 6x9 Paperback.  How would you like to sit at the feet of one of the most influential professors who has become a mentor and friend to hundreds of students and theologian
