Prophets in Perspective

This book is an attempt to reconcile each of the prophets with the time in which they lived, the kings who were on the throne and their contemporaries in the ministry. The book concludes with a more extensive look at the final three prophets and their relationship to the doctrine of the coming Messiah.

All Scripture is from the King James Version of the Bible.
