Voices of faith, covenant and God's message

Begin with four central figures in the biblical story: Abraham, Moses, Elijah and Isaiah. Abraham is the patriarch of the covenant; Moses is the great prophet and lawgiver; Elijah is remembered for his courage and the events on Mount Carmel; and Isaiah proclaimed God's holiness, justice and hope. Their lives and messages shaped the faith of Israel and remain important to Jewish and Christian traditions.

Each profile includes a short life story and key Scripture passages. The four featured biographies appear first, followed by the wider directory of biblical prophets, prophetesses and prophetic witnesses. The artwork is devotional or historical interpretation—not a verified portrait of the person. Open each artwork source to review its creator and reuse information.

A wider biblical directory: This collection covers the named prophets and prophetesses, the Twelve Minor Prophets, major prophetic figures, and New Testament prophetic witnesses. The Bible does not provide one universally agreed list of “every prophet”: some people are explicitly called prophets, some deliver a prophetic message, and some are disputed or false prophets. Those distinctions are noted rather than treating every name as the same kind of figure.

How this directory is organised: It includes figures explicitly called prophets or prophetesses, people who deliver prophetic messages, and a few related Spirit-filled witnesses. False prophets are clearly labelled. It is not possible to make a universally agreed exhaustive list because Scripture also refers to unnamed prophets and groups of prophets. In the Catholic canon, consult the additional books of Baruch and the Greek additions to Daniel as well.

Scripture & research notes

Biographies are concise summaries, not replacements for reading the biblical passages. Major and Minor Prophets are traditional labels based mainly on the length of their books, not on spiritual importance. Some identities and classifications differ among biblical traditions.
