Meet the Minor Prophets introduces readers to the twelve minor prophets described in the Old Testament: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. Each chapter describes two prophets (in the order in which they are listed here), articulates the meaning of their names, the dates of their ministry, and the geographical region in which they ministered, and presents the outline of their book; each chapter also recommends verses for memorization and questions for discussion. Earles treatment of the prophets stories includes a brief overview of historical context, a description of who the prophet was and how he was called by God, what Israels offences were and why they merited prophetic intervention, Israels response to prophecy, the divine response to Israels choices, and finally, Gods hope and promise to his people. Through his treatment of the minor prophets, Earle affirms the central theme of the Bible: redemption.
