Book Description
In the language of the Bible, the words "prophet", "prophecy" etc. have quite a broad meaning, but all refer, primarily, to the idea of "speaking in the name of God". The entire Old Testament could be said to be prophetical, but some books carry the names of four "major" prophets or teachers - a distinction based on the length of the texts. The books of the major prophets - Isaiah, Jeremiah (with Lamentations and Baruch), Ezekiel and Daniel - go to make up this volume of the Navarre Bible.

Book Description
J. B. Phillips began to translate the Bible during World War II for study by youth groups of the Anglican church in London of which he was then vicar; his New Testament translations have since been read by millions. Four Prophets is his first translation from the Old Testament.But as for me, my eyes look for the Lord.I will wait for the God who will save me;Yes, my God will deliver me!Never exult over me, my enemy--When I fail, I shall rise again;When I sit in darkness,The Lord shall be my light.I will endure the displeasure of the Lord,(For I have sinned against him),Until the day when he takes up my cause,And vindicates my right.He will bring me out into the light,And I shall see the justness of his ways.Micah 7:7
Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche & Kafka

Book Description
How four of Europe’s most mysterious and fascinating writers shaped the modern mind. Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Kafka were all outsiders in their societies, unable to fit into the accepted nineteenth-century categories of theology, philosophy, or belles lettres. Instead, they saw themselves both as the end products of a dying civilization and as prophets of the coming chaos of the twentieth century. In this brilliant combination of biography and lucid exposition, their apocalyptic visions of the future are woven together into a provocative portrait of modernity. “This small book has a depth of insight and a comprehensiveness of treatment beyond what its modesty of size and tone indicates. William Hubben…sees the spiritual destiny of Europe as one of transcending these masters. But to be transcended, their message must first be absorbed, and that is why the study of them is so important to us now.” —William Barrett, The New York Times

Book Description
I hope that through this book, the readers will have developed a larger perspective with which to view the Old Testament and New Testament as a single great flow and to connect the Four Gospels with the rest of the books in the Bible. At the same time, I hope this book will have provided the opportunity to view each of the events in the Gospels in a detailed, even microscopic way. To this end, I earnestly hope that God will grant the readers wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and insight (Ex 31:3; Prov 3:13; Isa 11:1- 2). I hope all of us will obey the will of God contained in His Purpose of Creation, Great Commandment, and Great Commission, and that we may have the same vision that Paul confessed right before his martyrdom: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing” (2 Tim 4:7-8). Amen.

Book Description
Although many scholars recognize literary similarities between Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah, defining the compositional relationship between these texts remains a matter of debate. Following the scholarly trajectory of exploring the compositional relationship between the Twelve prophets, several scholars argue that these four prophetic texts formed a precursory collection to the Book of the Twelve. Yet even among advocates for this ‘Book of the Four’ there remain differences in defining the form and function of the collection. By reexamining the literary parallels between these texts, Werse shows how different methodological convictions have led to the diverse composition models in the field today. Through careful consideration of emerging insights in the study of deuteronomism and scribalism, Werse provides an innovative composition model explaining how these four texts came to function as a collection in the wake of the traumatic destruction of Jerusalem. This volume explores a historic function of these prophetic voices by examining the editorial process that drew them together.

Book Description
An angry prophet. A feared and loathsome enemy. A devastating storm. And the surprising message of a merciful God to his people. The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood. Many people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with Jonah: A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale. But there's much more to Jonah's story than most of us realize. In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible. And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the prodigal son, and Jesus. Jesus in fact saw himself in Jonah. How could one of the most defiant and disobedient prophets in the Bible be compared to Jesus? Jonah's journey also doesn't end when he is freed from the belly of the fish. There is an entire second half to his story--but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible. Why does the book of Jonah end on what is essentially a cliffhanger? In these pages, Timothy Keller provides an answer to the extraordinary conclusion of this biblical parable--and shares the powerful Christian message at the heart of Jonah's story.
