Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah: Minor Prophets by Daniel J. Simundson

Description: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah by Daniel J. Simundson, Carol A. Newsom, Kathleen M. O'Connor, C.L. Seow, Carolyn Pressler, Theodore Hiebert The prophetic books gathered together in the book of the twelve have considerable theological and ethical value--for their call for social justice (especially Amos and Micah), their insights about the passionate love of God (in Hosea), Gods grace and forgiveness (Jonah, Hosea, and elsewhere), and the finality of hope, even in the face of terrible catastrophes. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries provide compact, critical commentaries on the books of the Old Testament for the use of theological students and pastors. The commentaries are also useful for upper-level college or university students and for those responsible for teaching in congregational settings. In addition to providing basic information and insights into the Old Testament writings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of careful interpretation to assist students of the Old Testament in coming to an informed and critical engagement with the biblical texts themselves. The prophetic books gathered together in the book of the Twelve are sometimes called the "minor" prophets because of their relatively small size when compared with Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. They are often neglected, at least partly because their words of judgment make the reader uncomfortable. Yet they have considerable theological and ethical value--for their call for social justice (especially Amos and Micah), their insights about the passionate love of God (in Hosea), Gods grace and forgiveness (Jonah, Hosea, and elsewhere), and the finality of hope, even in the face of terrible catastrophes.
