“Prepare to Meet Your God, O Israel:” Judgment and Salvation in the Minor Prophets
May 27, 29; June 1, 3 | 10-11:30 a.m.
Jennings Auditorium, Greencroft Goshen Community Center
The twelve prophets we call “minor”—because their books are shorter—worked in the most turbulent times of Israel’s history. Imperial powers, from what is now Iraq and Iran, posed overwhelming threats. But even more threatening to Israel’s existence were idolatry and injustice. And the final word would be God’s. We will survey these prophets in their historical contexts and hear their words today.
