thread_title:  Where Written 

message: I have followed every reference given in this section, and cannot seem to find where the quoted summaries of the text are coming from.  I searched for other versions on the web also, but find none.  Especially of questionable reduction is the quote for 4:1, “The peoples shall gaze on [The Mount of the Lord’s House] with joy,”.  This is in contrast to the KJV which states, "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it."  Many other versions have similar language.  Even if there is a version with "gaze with joy", the more substantial pieces are not included here.  Additionally, it is not appropriate to render here a translation or meaning without a supporting citation. This being just one example, the whole section is reduced in like manner. It would seem that the article almost verbatim is now found on many, many other sites; most seem to reference this Wiki, others apparently skipping attribution, leading to the chicken vs. egg paradox.

replies: text: I've removed the section, as it is just an unsourced/OR/NS essay. Carl.bunderson (talk) 21:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

message: This isn't a citation issue. It's just that there's no consensus. Any of the following numbers (and doubtless other permutations) can be argued for:
4 - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, The Twelve
8 - Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, The Twelve (the traditional Jewish position)
10 - Joshua, Judges, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kings, II Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, The Twelve
15 - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
17 - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi (the traditional Protestant position)
18 - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Baruch (including the Epistle of Jeremiah), Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel (including Susanna and Bel and the Dragon), Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi (the traditional Roman Catholic position)
19 - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Baruch, Epistle of Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel (including Susanna and Bel and the Dragon), Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi (the traditional Eastern Orthodox position)
19 - Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
20 - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Baruch, Epistle of Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Susana, Daniel (including Bel and the Dragon), Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
21 - Joshua, Judges, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kings, II Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
There seems little point in picking 15 as some sort of compromise number, following the Christian classification of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings as history rather than prophecy, the Jewish classification of Lamentations and Daniel as writings rather than prophecy, the Christian division of the twelve minor prophets, and the Jewish/Protestant rejection of Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah (and potentially Susanna and Bel and the Dragon, if one considers those to be books too). Indeed it looks all too original. So I'm going to edit the number out. 𝐨𝐱𝐲𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐵𝑈𝑇𝐴𝑍𝑂𝑁𝐸 ⓊⓉ 11:42, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Number of prophetic books

message: Although the Composition section may seem to use multiple sources, source numbers #23, #24, #25 and #26 all refer to the same source, meaning only the first sentence is confirmed by another source. Could we get additional sources on this so we know this is the consensus on the composition of the book, rather than just what one scholar thinks? VDZ (talk) 11:51, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
