Understand the Prophets Like Never Before with Amazing Insights
from One of Today's Foremost Old Testament Scholars For many
Christians reading the Old Testament, trying to understand Israel's
prophets is like listening to just one side of a phone
conversation--you only get half the idea of it. You hear the
answer, but how do you know what question the prophet is answering?
In The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets, John Goldingay uncovers
the questions behind the prophets' answers that make their meaning
and relevance intelligible to us. Written as a series of imaginary
letters to the twelve Minor Prophets, The Lost Letters to the
Twelve Prophets asks the kinds of questions that Hosea, Micah,
Zechariah, and others were answering. The letters make clear the
issues these prophets of Israel were dealing with or deliver the
news they were responding to in their Old Testament writings. For
example, To Hosea: Why did you marry someone you knew might be
unfaithful? To Joel: It looks as if a locust epidemic is on the
way: what should we do? To Amos: What should we do about the war
crimes of peoples around us? To Obadiah: The Edomites have occupied
our land and pushed us out: what's up with that? To Jonah: When is
God going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh? To Micah:
Will God always be angry with us as a people? To Nahum: When is God
going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh? To Habakkuk:
When is God going to do something about injustice in Judah? To
Zephaniah: What do you mean by "the day of the Lord"? To Haggai:
When is God going to fulfill his promises about rebuilding the
temple? To Zechariah: Should Jeshua be High Priest when he has been
in an unclean land? To Malachi: Why does serving God seem
pointless? These and other questions help readers peer behind the
veil of Minor Prophets' utterances and unlock their significance
for today's Christians. Each chapter: begins with a brief paragraph
of background about the prophet recounts questions or reports that
have been addressed to the prophet in the form of a letter sums up
message of the prophet responding to that question offers a brief
comment or explanation after each passage The Lost Letters to the
Twelve Prophets offers an imaginative, fun, and engaging way for
students, pastors, and all serious Bible readers get a better grip
on what is happening in these often misunderstood biblical books
and get more out of their Bible reading and study.
