The Minor Prophets are an important but often neglected part of the Bible. The corpus which constitutes the Minor Prophets includes twelve books, each written by a different prophet. Due to the number of books, they were historically referred to as ‘The Book of the Twelve’ or simply ‘The Twelve’. Today, they are most commonly referred to as the ‘Minor Prophets’. It is important to note, however, that they are not referred to as ‘minor’ because they lack theological significance, but this title rather reflects the relatively short length of their individual prophecies. In fact, these twelve books are anything but minor. They are filled with tremendously deep and rich theological material. The Minor Prophets will certainly not prove minor to any reader who will invest the time to explore them.

While the Minor Prophets speak to a vast array of issues, this book is particularly focused on what they have to say about Jesus Christ. This book is not a verse-by-verse commentary on the Minor Prophets, nor is it an effort to deal with all of the implications of their prophecies. Rather, this book is about how the Minor Prophets speak about Jesus Christ. Why is the focus on Jesus Christ? It is because Jesus is the central figure of the entire Bible. The entire Bible speaks of him, including the Minor Prophets. Simply stated, the Bible is ultimately about Jesus Christ and his redemptive work.
