In this commentary, Graham Hamborg offers a timely and up to date assessment of the books of Hosea, Joel and Amos. Recognising that each had a compositional history leading to the final forms by which we know them, he brings a literary approach to the texts and connects them to other parts of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. Hamborg also draws attention to topics where there are a range of scholarly views. 'Closer Look' sections explore significant themes and terms in greater depth, and 'Bridging the Horizons' sections indicate how the texts are of continuing significance in today's world. Conveying the meaning and importance of Hosea, Joel, and Amos in non-technical language and in an accessible style, this volume will be a valuable commentary for biblical scholars, students, and non-specialists for years to come.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The book has an impressive and extensive bibliography: this magnum opus is obviously a labour of love! ... there is much here to stimulate the mind, engage the soul, and whet the appetite - and we are unmistakably in the hands of someone who is really passionate and enthusiastic regarding the prophets and their message!' Geoffrey Floyd, Methodist Recorder
