Description

Joel, Micah and Habakkuk - these ancient prophets have urgent relevance for a church and a world living at the beginning of a new millennium.

They emphasise the life-or-death importance of listening to what God has to say, in times of disaster, disobedience and destruction.

Joel, facing the bleakness of national disaster, anticipates a future outpouring of God's Spirit.

Micah declares that God's punishment for wickedness is certain and thorough, but that he will preserve a faithful remnant.

Facing imminent destruction of the city, the land and the people, Habakkuk is sure that God's hidden purposes are being worked out. The prophets stood in the market-place, powerfully applying their message from God.

David Prior believes that, like them, the church today is to take its values into the market-place into the church.

Only this stand will bring hope rather than despair to a society under God's judgment.
