Heirs of the Prophets

Content

Heirs of the Prophets is the third part of the Way of The Spirit Bible reading course. It covers the history and teaching of the prophets from the time of Samuel on, tracing the part they played in Israel's revivals, studying their warnings of judgment, examining their vision of the future, and seeing how their hope and experience came alive again in Christ's ministry and the life of the early Church.

The books of the Bible you will be studying are therefore mainly historical and prophetical ones, plus selected passages from Acts and Paul's letters.

• • Old Testament: 1 Samuel - 2 Kings, Isaiah - Malachi.
• • New Testament: Luke, Acts, Corinthians, Revelation.

The main themes of this study are prophecy and revival, judgment and repentance, vision and hope, the work of the Spirit, Jesus as Prophet and the Church as charismatic.
