Prophets were Called by God and filled with God’s Spirit, a prophet spoke God’s word
to people who had in one way or another distanced themselves from God. In one

of historical and moral crisis. They saw themselves as being part of a story that God
was weaving throughout history—a story of repentance, encouragement, and a
coming Messiah. In this updated introductory book, each major and minor prophet and
his writing is clustered with the major historical events of his time.
