Exploring the "Minor" Prophets

The Latter Prophets of the Hebrew Bible are on four scrolls. Of them, the so-called "Major Prophets"--Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel--comprise the first three scrolls. The "Minor Prophets"--so called for their small size--comprise the fourth scroll. The graduate student Tuesday night small group will spend the semester studying an excerpt from each of the Minor Prophets. Some of these texts may be foreign to even the most regular church-goer, because three of the minor prophets are not found in the United Methodist lectionary.

Our first meeting is Tuesday, January 26 at 8:30 in the student lounge.
