prophets Resources

The Bible can be an intimidating maze of cultural artifacts and ancient worldviews that serve to discourage us from diving deep into its pages. Its peculiar expressions and sometimes bizarre customs can blind us to the rich truths underneath and block us from making personal applications of the text to our lives. For the past few months, I've used this space to offer you resources that would help walk you successfully and reliably through this maze. We've finally reached the Old Testament prophets. I trust you'll find the following resources helpful in your walk with God's word:

•  The Prophets as Preachers: Introduction to the Hebrew Prophets – Smith
• The Prophets, vols. 1 & 2 – Heschel
• Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries on the Prophets/NIV Application Commentaries on the Prophets – various authors
• The Message of the Prophets – Hays
• Exploring the Old Testament: A Guide to the Prophets – McConville
