Thus Says the LORD: God Speaks Through His Servants the Prophets Volume I: A Kingdom Divided

Description

Thus Says the LORD: God Speaks Through His Servants the Prophets—Volume I: A Kingdom Divided examines the biblical prophets in their historical context, beginning with the call of Samuel. Both volumes of this Catholic Bible study have been granted an imprimatur through the Diocese of Des Moines. Written by Jennifer McGaw Phelps and Matthew Phelps, Volume I: A Kingdom Divided uses the First and Second Books of the Kings to establish a temporal foundation based on circumstances in Judah and Israel after the death of Solomon. Its 28 lessons follow the prophets who were vigorously involved in political and spiritual activity in both kingdoms before the final wave of the Babylonian Captivity in 587–586 BC. Volume II: Restoration & Redemption provides an in-depth look at the post-exilic prophets. The study builds a framework for understanding the roles of priests, prophets, and kings in the Old Testament. Link here to see a sample of Lesson 1 in Volume I
