The six Old Testament books dealt with in this volume of the
Commentary are part of a larger unit originally copied on one
scroll and called, for the sake of simplicity, the books of the
twelve or minor prophets. The prophetic visions, liturgies and
oracles contained in the twelve books were collected over a period
of more than 300 years and given their final shape not earlier than
the middle of the fifth century BC. In his opening chapter Dr Watts
provides the historical and liturgical background to the books and
discusses the nature and role of prophecy in worship. In the style
established for the series, the NEB translation of the text then
follows, divided into brief sections alternating with sections of
commentary. The results of Old Testament scholarship and modern
theological though are conveyed to the student and the layman in
simple language.
