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), God's
grace and forgiveness (Jonah, Hosea, and elsewhere), and the finality of hope, even in the face
of terrible catastrophes.
