The Modern Message of the Minor Prophets by Raymond Calkins - 1947

Old Testament prophecy comes alive in this great vintage collectible covering all of the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament.

This is a great 205-page volume providing an overview of each of the 12 Old Testament Minor Prophets. The flyleaf states: "The twelve so-called minor prophets of Israel here offer some major insights for today's world. 'When we get within them and behind their historical settings,' says Dr. Calkins, 'it is astonishing to discover how applicable they are to modern human and social problems. They are seen to have an almost startling relevancy to the world in which today we live." (And those comments were said more than 50 years ago yet still practical for the 21st century!)

This book examines one by one each Minor Prophet, scholarly examining their origin, content, and relevance to the culture.

A very good chronological table is given an entire page near the beginning of the book as well as a good 'names and subjects' index at the back of the book. There is also an expanded 25-page "Appendix: Exegesis of the Text" covering all of the Minor Prophetic books.

From 1912-1940, Dr. Calkins was the pastor of First Church, Cambridge, MA, and authored more than 9 books in his lifetime.
