The Minor Prophets: An Exegetical and Expository Commentary

Outstanding evangelical scholars---such as Jeffrey Niehaus, Douglas Stuart, Joyce Baldwin, Bruce Waltke, Tremper Longman III, and F.F. Bruce---offer an authoritative treatment of the Old Testament prophetic books. Characterized by meticulous exegesis, clear exposition of theological and hermeneutical issues, and explanation of prophetic narrative flow, it's an accessible resource for pastors, students, and laypeople alike. 1456 pages, hardcover from Baker.

Thomas Edward McComiskey (Ph.D., Brandeis University) taught Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and was presiding fellow of the American College of Biblical Theologians prior to his death in 1996.

Preachers and teachers will find the 'nuts and bolts' analysis of the Hebrew text in this commentary to be helpful for their tasks."--Robert R. Ellis, Review and Expositor

"A worthwhile investment both for the interested and knowledgeable layperson as well as the intermediate-level student."--Ronald L. Androphy, Hebrew Studies

"Overall, this is probably the best exegetical commentary on these books for the pastor's study."--John F. Brug, Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly

"Although written from an evangelical perspective not one of the volumes shy away from critical questions making it a useful book for both the academic scholar and the minister in the local congregation."--S. D. Snyman, Old Testament Essays

"Its combination of attention given to technical and expositional issues makes it one of the best sets on this part of the Old Testament."--Michael A. Grisanti, Master's Seminary Journal

"This volume is a solid resource for both student and pastor. It provides a demonstration of what evangelical scholarship can do as it honestly wrestles with the text."--Gerald Wheeler, Andrews University Seminary Studies

"The information in this book will help in any serious study of an often neglected segment of the Bible."--Bible Today

This edition, which now combines three volumes into one, offers an authoritative, evangelical treatment of the prophets. Here noted scholars--including Bruce Waltke, Tremper Longman III, F. F. Bruce, J. Alec Motyer, and Joyce Baldwin--provide meticulous exegesis of the Hebrew text and relate the message of the ancient prophets to contemporary life. The authors provide their own translations alongside that of the New Revised Standard Version. In the commentary proper, the exegesis (at the top of each page) examines the Hebrew text in detail, interacts with current literature, and sets forth sound conclusions. The exposition (at the bottom of each page) discusses related theological and hermeneutical issues, explains the flow of the prophetic narrative, and makes appropriate applications.

This is a wonderful product. Several excellent commentaries from the 1990's were combined into one, creating a huge reference tool. One half of each page is dedicated to exegetical and grammatical issues, while the other half is dedicated to exposition and flow of the book. The scholarship is fairly recent and the various authors are reputed to be among the top in Old Testament studies. The book is large and weighs a lot. The cover is tasteful, and handsome. The CBD price for this book is currently the best price around.
