Understanding the Old Testament prophets 1

My slides from day 2 of my lectures about the Old Testament prophets on the Bible & Culture course at Schloss Mittersill.

Some tools for understanding the Old Testament prophets. The focus in this lecture is on the historical context of the eighth century prophets (Amos, Hosea, Jonah, Isaiah, Micah, probably Joel and Obadiah) and different genres within the prophetic literature.
