Major prophet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Isaiah fresco in Church of the Gesu
A major prophet is a book in the Major Prophets section of the Christian Old Testament in the Bible. The term "major" refers to their length, not their importance.
The major prophets in order of occurrence in Christian Bibles are:
- Isaiah
- Jeremiah
- Lamentations (listed with the Ketuvim in the Tanakh)
- Ezekiel
- Daniel (listed with the Ketuvim in the Tanakh).
The Hebrew Bible does not group these books together and does not include the deuterocanonical/apocryphal Book of Baruch. The closest analogous grouping in the Hebrew Bible is the Nevi'im (Prophets).
