About

With their messages of doom and judgment, the Minor Prophets have not been popular subjects in the history of biblical interpretation. In this exegetical and expository commentary, noted scholars remedy this neglect by offering an authoritative, evangelical treatment on the prophets. This volume, the first of three, features commentary by Thomas McComiskey (Hosea), Raymond Dillard (Joel), and Jeffrey Niehaus (Amos). The authors not only provide meticulous exegesis of the Hebrew text but also relate the message of the ancient prophets to contemporary life in practical and meaningful ways.

Reviews

"Although written from an evangelical perspective, not one of the volumes shies away from critical questions, making it a useful book for both the academic scholar and the minister in the local congregation."

S. D. Snyman,

Old Testament Essays

"The information in this book will help in any serious study of an often neglected segment of the Bible."

Dianne Bergant, CSA,

The Bible Today

"Its combination of attention given to technical and expositional issues makes it one of the best sets on this part of the Old Testament."

Michael A. Grisanti,

Master's Seminary Journal

"Preachers and teachers will find the 'nuts and bolts' analysis of the Hebrew text in this commentary to be helpful for their tasks."

Robert R. Ellis,

Review and Expositor

"A worthwhile investment both for the interested and knowledgeable layperson as well as the intermediate-level student."

Ronald L. Androphy,

Hebrew Studies

"Overall, this is probably the best exegetical commentary on these books for the pastor's study."

John F. Brug,

Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly

"This volume is a solid resource for both student and pastor. It provides a demonstration of what evangelical scholarship can do as it honestly wrestles with the text."

Gerald Wheeler,
