Testament Bible

Back before Stonehenge or the wheel, back before the pyramids, math, or even the crudest writing existed, ancient peoples gathered and told stories. They told stories of how the world began, what the first people were like, and which of them were heroes or failures. They tried to make sense of the world around them and tried to sort out who the gods were and what those gods wanted from them. More than 10,000 years later, one set of those stories has come down to us in the form of the Old Testament. Perhaps you think you know it. Think again.

Many of the books of the Old Testament bear the names of the prophets who authored them. Moses compiled the earlier parts of Genesis and directly authored the remaining portion.

"La prophétie d'Amos" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Le prophète Amos, dont le nom signifie "porteur", était originaire de Thekoa, une ville du royaume de Juda, au sud de Jérusalem. Amos était berger et homme de la terre. Sa connaissance de la vie agricole transparaît à plusieurs reprises dans sa manière de s'exprimer. Selon ses propres indications, Amos prophétisa aux jours des rois Ozias de Juda (791-740 av. J.-C.) et Jéroboam II d'Israël (793-753 av. J.-C.).

"La prophétie d'Osée" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Il fut probablement achevé entre 745 et 740 av J.-C. Le thème fondamental du livre est l'amour de Dieu pour son peuple. Le prophète Osée a épousé une prostituée sacrée nommée Gomer. Son amour pour sa femme malgré ses fautes lui fait comprendre que l'amour est inconditionnel et permanent. Il établit alors un parallèle entre sa vie privée et la relation de Dieu avec la nation d'Israël.

"Le livre de Sophonie" ou de Cephania est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Il date du VIe siècle avant l'ère chrétienne. Sophonie est un prophète qui vécut pendant le règne de Josias, roi de Juda. Il y est annoncé la venue du Jour du jugement de Dieu pour le peuple d'Israël qui a adopté des dieux païens et commis des mauvaises actions. Les nations voisines sont aussi menacées, en particulier les Philistins, le royaume de Moab, les Ammonites, la Nubie et la ville de Ninive, capitale de l'Assyrie.

"Le livre de Malachie" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Malachie insiste beaucoup sur les dysfonctionnements du culte et invite ses auditeurs à y remédier promptement: payer les dîmes, immoler des bêtes en bonne santé...

Il s'inscrit dans la perspective des livres d'Esdras et de Néhémie.

"Le livre des Lamentations" ou "Lamentations de Jérémie" est un livre du Tanakh et de l'Ancien Testament. L'auteur est anonyme.

"Le livre de Habacuc" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Habacuc est un prophète de Juda qui parla de l'état pécheur du peuple, peut-être au cours du règne de Joaqim, roi de Juda (env. 600 av. J.-C.).
