Description
A minor prophet is among the narratives in the Twelve Prophets chapter of the Hebrew Bible, also referred to Christians as the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament. In the Hebrew Bible, the narratives of the minor prophets are listed as one text, in Christian Bibles as twelve singular texts. The “Twelve” are enumerated here sequentially of their emergence in Hebrew and most Protestant and Catholic Christian Bibles: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. The King James Version (KJV), also referred as the King James Bible (KJB) or commonly the Authorized Version (AV), is an English conversion of the Christian Bible for the Church of England started in 1604 and accomplished in 1611. The texts of the King James Version contain the 39 texts of the Old Testament, an intertestamental chapter consisting of 14 texts of the Apocrypha – much of which are parallel to the texts in the Vulgate Deuterocanon observed to by Roman Catholics, and the 27 texts of the New Testament. It was first published by the King’s Printer Robert Barker and was the third conversion into English granted by the English Church officials. The first had been the Great Bible, authorized in the ruling of King Henry VIII in 1535, and the second had been the Bishops’ Bible of 1568. In January 1604, James VI assembled the Hampton Court Conference, where a new English translation was considered in rejoinder to the issues of the first versions comprehended by the Puritans, a division of the Church of England. The conversion is notable for its “majesty of style”, and has been depicted as among the very significant works in English civilization and a compelling influence in the formation of the English-communicating domain.
