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 second of three, features commentary by Jeffrey Niehaus (Obadiah), Joyce Baldwin (Jonah), Bruce Waltke (Micah), Tremper Longman III (Nahum), and F. F. Bruce (Habakkuk). 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.
What a complex thorough book. I picked it up to supplement the Bible study our women’s group was doing Habakkuk but my finish every book you start rule got me. A brilliant commentary on some of the minor prophets from the Old Testament, very very thorough but well written in its explanation. I will revisit this again when we do another book for study.
