This is an introduction and a survey of the second part of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament commonly referred to as the Prophets. This covers the Historical Books of Joshua to 2 Kings, the Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel), and the Twelve Minor Prophets. Each book is studied exegetically and theologically in the social-historical context of the ancient Near Eastern world, and in dialogue with the modern-day context. By means of the required graduate-level papers, students develop skills in responsible Biblical interpretation and application of the messages of the prophets to a life of faith and Christian service.
