Book synopsis

When we read the twelve books in the Minor Prophets, similar words, themes and notions repeating time and again would have caught our attention. Coming to the latter part, it is interesting ro find the sudden intensive occurrence of the name of God in connection with his messengers who play critical roles since the book of Haggai carrying sharp focus on the temple: Haggai is explicitly named as the divine messenger sent by God (Hag. 1:13), Zechariah resonates the same function (2:13, 15; 4:9; 6:15), while Malachi's name means literally "my messenger". What meaning does manifest, especially when associated with messengers? How does the post exilic community perceive their God? Before the discussion on the significance of (in connection with his messengers), an overview of its distribution in the twelve books in the Minor Prophets may arouse our interest.
