A few weeks ago, Drew Maggi, a Pittsburgh Pirates infielder, won the hearts of baseball fans everywhere. Maggi is a 33-year-old rookie. If you aren’t familiar with baseball, you need to know that it’s incredibly rare for a player to get his first big league in his 30’s.

“Minor” has more to do with their size and scope than it has to do with the respect which was held for the prophet whose name it bears. As near as I can tell the phrase “Minor prophets” comes from Augustine, who distinguished “The Book of the Twelve” from what he termed the Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel).
We can see some of this division in the time of Jeremiah. The court prophets were prophesying peace and Jeremiah was warning the people of impending doom:
and from prophet to priest,
They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
