context_page_description: The Major Prophets is a grouping of books in the Christian Old Testament, but not occurring in the Hebrew Bible. These books are centred on a prophet, traditionally regarded as the author of the respective book. The term "major" refers only 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
  Book of Baruch
  Letter of Jeremiah
  Book of Ezekiel
  Book of Daniel.
  In the Hebrew Bible the Books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel are included among the Nevi'im but Lamentations and Daniel are placed among the Ketuvim. Baruch is not part of the Hebrew Bible.
