Introduction -- What is a prophet? -- The Major Prophets -- Approach to the Major Prophets -- Isaiah 1:39 -- Isaiah 40:66 -- Jeremiah -- Lamentations and other Deutero-Jeremianic literature -- Lamentations -- The book of Baruch -- The letter of Jeremiah -- Ezekiel -- Daniel -- The Minor Prophets -- The Book of the Twelve -- Hosea, Joel, Amos -- Hosea -- Joel -- Amos -- Obadiah, Jonah, Micah -- Obadiah -- Jonah -- Micah -- Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah -- Nahum -- Habakkuk -- Zephaniah -- Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi -- Haggai -- Zechariah 1:8 -- Zechariah 9:14 -- Malachi -- Conclusion.
Introduction to the Prophets is a guide to reading the prophetic books of the Christian canon, discussing the Major and Minor Prophets in their canonical order. Paul Redditt assumes little or no prior knowledge of the prophets on the part of the reader. For example, when he introduces technical terms, he takes care to define them and includes a glossary for complete reference. Each chapter discusses: the place of each book in the canon; the literary setting of each book; their structure, integrity, and authorship; the main genre(s) in each; special features of each book; basic emphasis of each book; and problems--theological, literary, or historical--raised. Redditt eschews review questions at the end of the chapters, instead offering questions for further reflection. Introduction to the Prophets also includes three chapters discussing the nature of prophecy, methods developed by scholars to use in studying the Bible, the rise of the "Book of Twelve," and the approach taken to them here. --From publisher's description.
