An interesting book at many levels, Zephaniah prophesied during the time of the young King Josiah as he tried to lead his people to turn back to God. This is a book of warning and encouragement, and one with practical application fitting for our time. Show Notes: http://michaelincontext.com/cover-to-cover-zephaniah

Dr. Jack Collins joins Michael to talk about this book: what understanding should we bring to our study of Habakkuk, and what should we take away? This is a unique book. Where most prophetic books address a people group, Habakkuk is an account of dialogue between a prophet and God.  For Show Notes visit http://michaelincontext.com/bonus-episode-Habakkuk

People have always had the same responses to crisis: How long? How can this go on? Why do the righteous suffer? Why do the wicked prosper? God, why aren't You doing something? Unlike most prophets who spoke to Judah, Israel, Assyria, the Babylonians–some people group–this is a conversation between a prophet and God. Join us as we study this unique prophetic text.

Michael teaches an overview of the book of Micah. One of the features of the book of Micah that sets this prophet apart is his audience. Isaiah prophesied to kings and princes, but Micah prophesied in the country - a more rural prophet. But his message aligns with the over-arching message of most of the prophets: a reminder of God's Word, His coming judgment, and His gracious goodness.
