Welcome to MJR's Bible Exegesis course in the Latter Prophets (Prophetic Books). In this course, we will explore a Jewish approach to the material in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Book of the Twelve.

If you have not done so already, please acquire the following textbooks before you begin:

 Heschel, Abraham Joshua. The Prophets. New York, N.Y.: Harper & Row, 1962 (or any subsequent edition).

Any additional readings will be provided via PDF file or link to the source of the content. Please also download the course syllabus posted below.

Disclaimer

The tools used in MJR's courses were selected because they hold particular value in communicating the concepts being studied in a given course. Some may not be specifically targeted to a Messianic audience, but may still contain information that would be advantageous to the Messianic talmid/ah. Others may reflect in places terminology that has fallen into disuse, but does not diminish the value of the information conveyed. As with everything that is not the Bible itself, read them with discernment.

We do not expect students to agree with everything presented in any course, whether via lecture, assigned reading, or video presentation. As participants in higher education, students enrolled in MJR's courses and/or programs should be practicing critical thinking and discernment every step of the journey. To that end, your faculty recites this blessing along with each of you:

NOTA BENE: While it is the general practice and preference of MJR to use circumlocutions in place of the Covenant Name of our G-d (Hashem, Adonai, Elohim, Elokim, Adoshem, etc.), some course materials (e.g. textbooks, linked websites, journal articles, etc.) may not always do this.
