Prophets of the Bible at a Glance

The prophets of the Bible are a fascinating bunch of people. Their stories appear across different books, their messages belong to unfamiliar political crises and their prophecies contain imagery that feels wild!

Prophets of the Bible – at a Glance gives you some bearings. Its short introductions meet the prophets as people just like you and me. There is Moses wrestling with his inadequacy, Miriam learning the destructive reach of grumbling, Elijah discovering the place of prayer, Jeremiah persevering through rejection, Habakkuk questioning God and Haggai confronting misplaced priorities. This guide introduces us to figures including Huldah, Micaiah, Anna and the nameless prophets whose stories are not so well known. 

This resource includes:

• concise introductions to prophets and prophetesses across the Old and New Testaments
• Bible references showing where to find each person’s story
• a distinctive theme or lesson drawn from every life
• context for some of Scripture’s less familiar characters
• connections between the prophets, Christian discipleship and our promised Saviour
