Christian theologians rarely study the Old Testament in its final
Hebrew canonical form, even though this was very likely the Bible
used by Jesus and the early church. However, once read as a whole,
the larger structure of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) provides a
"wide-angle lens" through which its contents can be viewed. In this
stimulating New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Stephen G.
Dempster argues that, despite its undoubted literary diversity, the
Hebrew Bible possesses a remarkable structural and conceptual
unity. The various genres and books are placed within a
comprehensive narrative framework which provides an overarching
literary and historical context. The many texts contribute to this
larger text, and find their meaning and significance within its
story of "dominion and dynasty," which ranges from Adam to the Son
of Man, from David to the coming Davidic king. Addressing key
issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in
Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better
understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson,
aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with
current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Thirteen contributors explain the shorter Prophetic Books of the
Old Testament-Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah,
Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi-with
biblical insight and pastoral wisdom, showing readers the hope that
is offered even amidst judgment.
