The Major Prophets (Discovery Series booklet)

The Major Prophets: Voices in Times of Great Crisis

We hear many sermons that quote the writings of the Major Prophets, but what did the prophets intend to say in the first place to their first audiences?  Do they really have the same power for us today? In The Major Prophets, Tremper Longman III invites you to dig deeper into the context, messages, and themes of three men God chose to be His voice in times of great crisis.  Discover how these prophets' words have not only been fulfilled once but continue to shape our understanding and point toward the greatest prophet—Jesus—even today.
