Faith & Life Grade 7 · Chapter 6 · God’s Special Spokesmen: The Prophets
Major, Minor, or No Book?
The prophetic books of the Bible are grouped as “major” and “minor.” This is about the length of their books, not how important they were. Some of the greatest prophets, like Elijah, left no book at all.
Explore the idea
Read each name and decide where it belongs. Tip: the major prophets have long books; there are twelve minor prophets.
