“And this is the tragedy of the Book of Jonah, that a Book which is made the means of one of the most sublime revelations of truth in the Old Testament should be known to most only for its connection with a whale.”

About This Book
The volume collects critical introductions, historical background, complete translations, and detailed expository chapters for nine prophetic books and Jonah, treating each prophet with a critical introduction followed by exposition and notes, discussing questions of date, authorship, textual variants, and interpretation, and offering translations and explanatory footnotes; the essays aim to present evidence, survey past scholarship, and reach provisional conclusions while limiting technical argumentation to introductions and notes so the expository chapters remain accessible, thus guiding readers through the development and variety of prophetic religion across successive historical stages.
