Taken together, the nine prophets found in the books Obadiah through Malachi lived during a tumultuous 200 years of Israelite history. Intimately connected to the travails and needs of their communities, these prophets had the responsibility of bringing God's message of hope--even in the bleakest times--to their people. William Brown offers readers a look at these often neglected yet important prophets and their message about where the God of justice and mercy is at work today.
