Overview

Excerpt from Books for Bible Students, Vol. 1: The Books of the Prophets In their basis and in their issue, their start ing-point and goal alike, in their spirit and the hope of their calling, the prophets of the Old Covenant are one. To read them according to this unity, and under the light of the convictions which they shared in common as the messengers of God to their people at the several stages of that people's history, - this seems to us the only sound and fruitful method of prophetical study; and it is the method plainly dictated by the present condition of Biblical knowledge and research. More than this, it is the line of exposition which the structure of the Old Testament itself suggests. A collective and historical character was, in fact, impressed on the Books of the Prophets from the beginning, by their position and arrangement in the Canon of Scripture; this character is recognised in the words of our Lord, and in the usage and manner of citation prevalent in the New Testament. Much has been lost by our habit of reading the Bible piecemeal in isolated Books, and by our dwelling upon favourite chapters and passages of more obvious meaning, at the expense of their context and living connexion.
