Minor Prophets I (New International Biblical Commentary: Old Testament Series, 1

New International Biblical Commentary

by Elizabeth Rice Achtemeier

The NIBC offers the best of contemporary scholarship in a format that both general readers and serious students can use with profit. Based on widely used NIV translation, the NIBC presents careful section-by-section exposition with key terms and phrases highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated. A separate section of notes at the close of each chapter provides additional textual and technical comments. Each commentary also includes a selected bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes. Hosea, Joel,Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah are included in this volume. "Professor Achtemeier is long established as a reliable, insightful interpreter of Scripture. And here she has ample textual material wherein she demonstrates, once again, her skill as an interpreter. . . . Achtemeier's theological passion is evident throughout, as she stays close to the canonical accents of judgement and hope. It is unmistakable that there is a close fit between the urgings of the prophetic texts and Achtemeier's own theological concerns. The convergence is a happy one that provides a useful, trustworthy study that exposits the main issues of Israel's faith." Â-Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
