My own translation from the Hebrew of The Twelve Minor Prophets. They are known as the minor prophets not in the sense of unimportance (for they are the Word of God) but in the sense that they are so much shorter than the major prophets - Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel - whose prophetic ministry was recorded in more detail. The minor prophets are important because they record so much about the first and second advents of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.
