The Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries provide compact,
critical commentaries on the books of the Old Testament for the use
of theological students and pastors. The commentaries are also
useful for upper-level college or university students and for those
responsible for teaching in congregational settings. In addition to
providing basic information and insights into the Old Testament
writings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of
careful interpretation to assist students of the Old Testament in
coming to an informed and critical engagement with the biblical
texts themselves.
The prophetic books gathered together in the book of the Twelve
are sometimes called the "minor" prophets because of their
relatively small size when compared with Isaiah, Jeremiah, and
Ezekiel. They are often neglected, at least partly because their
words of judgment make the reader uncomfortable. Yet they have
considerable theological and ethical value--for their call for
social justice (especially Amos and Micah), their insights about
the passionate love of God (in Hosea), God's grace and forgiveness
(Jonah, Hosea, and elsewhere), and the finality of hope, even in
the face of terrible catastrophes.
