The Twelve Minor Prophets

The Twelve Minor Prophets are a group of 12 books in the Hebrew Bible, each containing messages from prophets who conveyed God's calls for justice, repentance, and faithfulness. Despite being called "minor," their writings are rich and diverse, addressing social issues, warning of consequences for turning away from God, and offering hope for restoration. They are called "minor" due to their shorter length compared to major prophets like Isaiah or Jeremiah, but their themes are central to biblical understanding of God's relationship with Israel and humanity.
