The classification of "Major" or "Minor Prophets" refers to the length of the book by that prophet's name, so in strict terms prophets (the people) aren't classified as "major" or "minor". This classification is used with prophetic books in the Old Testament.The books designated as "The Major Prophets" are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel. Note that both the Book of Jeremiah and the book Lamentations are ascribed to the prophet Jeremiah. In versions of the Bible where the Book of Baruch is included, it is grouped with the Major Prophets.The twelve shorter books collectively referred to as the "Minor Prophets" are the books Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah. Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
