The eloquent and uncompromising calls for social righteousness by
some of the Minor Prophets are familiar to many, yet the writings
themselves are probably the least studied and least known texts of
the Old Testament. Those who are familiar with these books are also
aware of the historical and literary problems that plague their
study. Drawing on insights from various perspectives --
theological, historical, and literary -- this commentary on Joel,
Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah by Leslie Allen carefully and
imaginatively reconstructs the stage on which the message of these
four books was conveyed to their Hebrew hearers and shows what
relevance, in turn, they hold for contemporary Christians. For each
of the books there is a substantial introduction in which the full
range of scholarly opinion is presented and assessed, a select
bibliography, the author's own translation of the text -- a
significant contribution to biblical studies in itself -- and an
extensive commentary. The commentary on Micah is the basic one of
these four in that it treats at greater length some of the same
forms and motifs that appear in Joel, Obadiah, and Jonah. The
introductory material for Joel includes discussions of canonicity
and textual criticism that apply to the entire volume.
