Excerpt from The Work and Teachings of the Earlier Prophets

It is impossible to use these studies apart from the Bible. The references are the essential part of each day's work; the subject matter of the studies is intended only as a suggestive guide and commentary. The American Revised Version of the Bible is necessary, as the references are based upon it. The other refer ence books are important, and their frequent use will illuminate the matter under discussion.

Excerpt from The Work and Teachings of the Earlier Prophets

The Hebrew prophets are unquestionably the most important figures in the pre-Christian religious history of the human race. Through their work and teachings they were God's agents in moulding the life and thoughts of their own age. They also powerfully influenced their fellow teachers, the priests, sages and psalmists of ancient Israel and thus left their imprint upon every page of the Old Testament. Moreover, they were the immediate spiritual forerunners of the Divine Teacher; for they proclaimed many of the great religious and ethical principles which, in their perfected and more personal form, are the central teachings of the Gospel. Hence an intelligent appreciation of the Hebrew prophets is the open door to the understanding of both the Old and the New Testaments. And yet the prophets are, on the whole, the most misunderstood of all the world's great leaders. This widespread popular ignorance is chiefly due to the fact that they have not been studied in the light of the significant crises and conditions amid which they lived and worked. Each prophet has a direct, vital message from God to the present age; but it was first proclaimed in the language and historical setting of his own times.

The purpose of these studies is to enable the student of to-day to become personally acquainted with these inspired prophets of the past. Do not regard them as relics of antiquity whose worth is buried with their bones. Think of them rather as living men with throbbing hearts and tense muscles. You cannot hope to know them unless you associate with them. The studies have been arranged to make possible a daily communion with them. Aim to dwell with these prophets each day and to become acquainted with the environment in which they lived, and the situations which they were forced to face; study their methods of work and their habits of thought and expression; read their writings aloud until their words and style are familiar; picture each one of them to yourself in imagination, and search with reverent and thoughtful hearts for the great eternal principles which the Divine Father was continually revealing to and through them.
