Let'S Major In The Minors : The Major Messages Of The 5 Minor Books Of The Bible

Let's Major in The Minors? Really now? Teddy Jones offers us a trenchant analysis from God's word spoken to the prophet Obadiah and through the New Testament books of Philemon, II John, III John and Jude. The fact that these books contain a mere single chapter has caused them to be easily dismissed, ignored or assumed to be minor. These one-chapter books are among some of the most neglected parts of the Bible. Pastor, Lecturer, Mentor and Theologian, Teddy A. Jones shows how inaccurate this perception is by pointing out in this exposition series, that although these books are very brief, their content was not only vitally important to their original audience, but they raise very major issues that are absolutely relevant to Believers today. Let's Major in The Minors therefore urges the need to consider them as major and debunk the prejudicial designation of 'minor.' They should rather be considered as pearls of great price. The pearl inside this "oyster" is the fact that the weighty theological themes and Biblical core matters they highlight indicate clearly to us their importance to God, who inspired the writers. Indeed, these "minor" chapters of the Bible present some major themes from serious spiritual leaders and thinkers?issues of justice... and balance for the poor and downtrodden, true righteousness as opposed to institutional formalism, and living boldly and unapologetically for God in a hostile world. Let's Major in The Minors focuses on injustice, pride, unfaithfulness, hypocrisy, corruption, the dismantling of slavery, hospitality, and arrogance. This work on the books of Obadiah, Philemon, Second and Third John and Jude represents a most important choice of subject from the rarely preached on sections of the Old and New Testament. Let's Major in The Minors offers readers the following benefits: It is an excellent personal and corporate Bible Study Guide. It is ideal for use as a textbook It adds qualitatively to serious Christian thinking and application. It offers us no respite from dealing with injustice and other evils It confronts and challenges us, as God would, to treat with the issues of our times as He would. It focuses on the sin of pride in all the ways in which it presents itself in the life of persons including God's people. It warns of the dangers and deadly venom of pride. It talks about relationships and an antidote to social sicknesses as it explores Philemon and the Johannine corpus and Jude
