These three short prophetic books of the Old Testament each contain
a dual message. On one hand are messages of impending
judgment---for all peoples on the Day of the Lord, for an enemy of
Israel, and for Israel herself. On the other hand are messages of
great hope---of the pouring out of God s Spirit, of restoration and
renewal, and of a coming Messiah. Placing judgment and hope
together in such a manner may seem paradoxical to a contemporary
mindset. But the complete message of these prophets gives a fuller
picture of God---who despises and rightly judges sin and rebellion,
but who also lovingly invites people to return to him so that he
might bestow his wonderful grace and blessings. It is a message no
less timely today than when these books were first written, and
David W. Baker skillfully bridges the centuries in helping
believers today understand and apply it. Most Bible commentaries
take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible.
But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the
return journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of
the passage but don t discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable---but the job is only half done
The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of
the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series
shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern
context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it
speaks powerfully today."
