God Speaks to His People

Why did God employ prophets in Scripture?

How can we interpret symbolic biblical prophecies and recognise their fulfilment?

Who were the major and minor prophets of the Old Testament, and what were their basic messages?

What about prophecies from Jesus and Revelation that foretell persecution, calamity, and the end of the world?

With their colourful figures and often fantastic, sometimes chilling imagery, the prophetic messages in both the Old and New Testament have fascinated every generation. Unfortunately, for many Christians they can be as confusing as they are compelling. 20 Answers: Bible Prophecy cuts through the confusion and presents the basic scope of scriptural prophecy in a way anyone can understand—a truly Catholic way that avoids modern sensationalism in favor of the sober and ancient wisdom of the Church.

The 20 Answers series from Catholic Answers offers hard facts, compelling arguments, and clear explanations of the most important topics facing the Church and the world—all in a compact, easy-to-read package.
