Instructor: The Book of the Twelve: Minor Prophets BIB535

This course will survey the prophetic material from Hosea to Malachi, focusing especially on Hosea, Amos, Micah, Haggai, and Zechariah, and on specific texts within those books. We will pay attention to historical and literary context, the history of prophecy in Israel and Judah, and prophetic theology and ethics. The course also will attend to connections in these prophetic books to the wider Old Testament and biblical canon. (MDiv 1, 3; MACF 1; MATPS 1)
