A:

The Books of Jeremiah and Lamentations are both traditionally ascribed to Jeremiah, but the actual authorship of Lamentations can not be established. Similar style and language are common to several of the prophet's contemporaries, and the viewpoint expressed in Lamentations is most unlike his pronouncements in Jeremiah.

A:Most of the post-exilic prophets were anonymous and wrote in the name of earlier prophets such as Isaiah, so their names are unknown to us.

Why are major prophets called major?

The distinction between major and minor prophets is purely based on the length of their book. Isaiah, Jermiah, and Ezekiel are the major prophets whose books are quite lengthy. In fact Isaiah has the longest book in the Bible by number of chapters. Then there are the minor prophets Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. These prophets have much shorter books. Major and minor prophets are not distinguished because of their mesage, importance, or by who they were. They were divided this way because of the lenght of their book.


What is different between major and minor prophets?

The distinction between major prophet and minor prophet with respect to the Old Testament and Hebrew scripture is not necessarily intuitive. The minor prophets refer to a collection of writing of 12 prophets in a single book in the Hebrew scripture but broken into separate books in the Christian Old Testament (Hoseato Malachi). Major Prophet describes the longer books of prophecies in The Bible whose name matches the prophet it describes namely Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel.Elijah and Elisha would be considered in the top ten of prophets yet they are not "Major" prophets because their record is found in books of 1 and 2 Kings rather than in the prophetic writings. So the terms "major" and "minor" in this context refers to two groups of books and does not signify their importance.
