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.

JOEL


The Day of Jehovah is great and very awful, and who may abide it?

But now the oracle of Jehovah—Turn ye to Me with all your heart, and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning. And rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn to Jehovah your God, for gracious and merciful is He, long-suffering and abounding in love.
