This second volume of the Twelve Minor Prophets by Peter Craigie includes the prophets Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. This analysis continues in Craigie's conservative approach to the scriptures and seeks to draw out the meaning and theology of these prophets. Readable for both lay people and scholars alike. 250 Pages. Softcover from Westminster John Knox Press.

Peter C. Craigie was Dean of the faculty of Humanities and Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Calgary. He is the author of Twelve Prophets, Volume 1, and Ezekiel in the Daily Study Bible Series.

The author of Twelve Prophets, Volume 1 completes his study with a commentary on Micah, a contemporary of Isaiah, who foretold the birth of the Messiah; Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah, prophets who spoke for God in the last days of the Kingdom of Judah; and Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, whose messages were directed to those reforming the community of God's people after the Babylonian Exile. Individuals who proclaimed different messages according to the times in which they lived, these prophets nevertheless have in common the task of speaking the Word of God to the people of God. Through his insightful commentary, Peter C. Craigie shows the persistent meaning of this Word through the ages.

Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, the Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.

Peter C. Craigie was Professor of Religious Studies, Dean of the Faculty of Humanites, and Academic Vice-President at the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
