( January 2013 ) Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Isaiah fresco in Church of the Gesu The Major Prophets is a grouping of books in the Christian Old Testament. These books are centred on a prophet, traditionally regarded as the author of the respective book. The term `` major '' refers to their length, in distinction to the Twelve Minor Prophets, whose books are much shorter and grouped together as a single book in the Hebrew Bible. The books, in order of their occurrence in the Christian Old Testament, are : Book of Isaiah Book of Jeremiah Book of Lamentations ( in the Ketuvim ( Writings ) section of the Tanakh, ascribed to Jeremiah ) Book of Baruch ( not in Protestant Bibles, ascribed to Baruch ben Neriah, scribe of Jeremiah ) Letter of Jeremiah ( Chapter 6 of Baruch in most Catholic Bibles, its own book in Eastern Orthodox Bibles ) Book of Ezekiel Book of Daniel ( in the Ketuvim of the Hebrew Bible ). The Hebrew Bible includes the Books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel among the Nevi'im ( Prophets ) but places Lamentations and Daniel among the Ketuvim ( Writings ). Baruch ( including the Letter of Jeremiah ) is not part of the Hebrew Bible.
