Jonah: Introducing The Prophet Jonah: Part 1 of a Christian home group Bible Study series on the 12 Prophets

Introducing The Minor prophets – Bible Study JONAH

The Prophet Jonah is the first book in this Bible study series 'Spotlight OnThe Minor Prophets'. Why are these giants of the scriptures called ‘Minor’? Simply because their books are typically short, and nothing at all to do with the importance of their individual messages, or indeed the impact they had on the listeners.

Jonah is perhaps one of the best known of the biblical prophets, largely because of the incident with the giant fish! However it is also true that he was one of the most successful evangelists in the whole of the Bible, as we can see from the results of his preaching when the whole of Nineveh repented. Many lessons can be learned from the example of Jonah the Prophet, not the least being that The Lord can still use the most reluctant individual, in order to put his message across to greatest effect!These are not intended to be in-depth bible studies as such; but instead an introduction or summary of the Prophets, their times and influences both then and today.

These short bible studies of the Old Testament Prophets are intended for individual or group use, and I have found them useful for encouraging debate and conversation, on all the topics that affected the peoples at that time; and now affect ourselves in today’s world.Job states that “As sure as sparks fly upwards, Man is born to trouble”. The social and economic troubles that the ancients faced are the same ones as we face now. It has been said that “if we do not learn from our mistakes, then we are doomed to repeat them”. Perhaps it’s time to listen to their problems and see what The Lord had to say through his spokesmen – whom we know as the ‘Minor Prophets’.Other Bible Study Books in the Spotlight On The Minor Prophets6 Book Jonah – Micah6 Book Bundle Nahum - Malachi 12 Book Complete Study Course
