The Minor Prophets
Overview
In order to understand prophecy, it’s essential to have a thorough understanding of what it means to be a “prophet” and the function of prophecy among ancient Hebrews. F. W. Farrar takes careful note of this need in his work on the Minor Prophets, outlining and defining prophecy. He discusses the style and chronology of prophetic writings, and provides, for each prophet, a historical and biographical overview and commentary.

Frederic William Farrar (August 7, 1831–March 22, 1903), an English clergyman and author, was born in Bombay, India, and educated in England. In 1876 he was installed canon of Westminster and rector of St. Margaret’s. He became archdeacon of Westminster in 1883 and in 1885 he was appointed Bampton lecturer at Oxford, and took for his subject “The History of Interpretation.” He was appointed dean of Canterbury in 1895, in which capacity he served until his death. He was influential in the spread of the “Broad Church” movement and was one of the founders of the institution known as the Anglican Brotherhood. His writings cover a wide range, from school stories to Scripture commentaries and theological studies. His Life of Christ (1874) and Eternal Hope (1878) have seen several editions.
