The Message of the Prophets Video Lectures: A Survey of the Prophetic and Apocalyptic Books of the Old Testament

The Message of the Prophets Video Lectures features 27 lessons (on 3 DVDs), offering a scholarly yet student-friendly survey of the Old Testament prophetic literature that presents the message of each prophet in its historical and biblical context and then tracks that message through the New Testament to challenge readers with what it means for them today. Old Testament scholar J. Daniel Hays focuses on synthesizing the message of the prophets, which enables students to grasp the major contours of the prophetic books clearly and concisely. After identifying what the message meant for ancient Israel, Hays helps viewers move toward application today, enabling students to gain a better understanding of God and the relationship between God and his people.
