[Chisholm] has provided an accessible commentary that offers an overview of the message of the biblical text with sensitivity to the historical context of the prophet."-- Mark J. Boda , Review of Biblical Literature "An accessible introduction of the prophetic books for those who desire a better understanding of the message of the prophets. . . . [Chisholms] discussion of the context of the prophetic books is very helpful."-- Claude Mariottini , Review & Expositor "An extremely useful tool for serious study of the Old Testament. . . . Commentaries of this nature and especially of this quality not only bridge the chasm between the technicalities of scholarship and the practical situations of preaching, teaching, and worship in churches, but also begin to disturb the status quo in which the use of and reliance upon translations and paraphrases has dulled the churchs sense of responsibility toward the study of the Hebrew text. This is one of the most praiseworthy aspects of Chisholms work. . . . Chisholm deserves much praise for the extent and depth of his commentary."-- J. C. Lubbe , Old Testament Essays "Chisholm proceeds chapter by chapter through each prophetic book (as well as Lamentations and Daniel) and provides an often-detailed summary of its contents plus an analysis of literary themes, linguistic notes, and occasionally historical contexts."-- Tyler Mayfield , Religious Studies Review Author Biography Robert B.

It will help readers find their way through the complexities of the writings themselves and also through the thickets of varying interpretations. The author takes a thoughtfully conservative approach to the knotty critical problems posed by the prophetic books, offering concise but incisive support for positions that take the Bibles own claims seriously. This book will make the prophets more accessible to a whole range of readers."--John N. Oswalt, Wesley Biblical Seminary Details ISBN080103860X Author Robert B.
