| Résumé : |
The Minor Prophets have not been popular subjects in the history of biblical interpretation or in the church. Their doom-saying messages of judgment seem to concentrate on nations and events that have little relevance for believers today. The Minor Prophets, maintains Thomas Edward McComiskey, intends to remedy this neglect by "causing the voices of these ancient men of God to ring with greater clarity in a world that sorely needs spiritual and moral strength."
An authoritative, up-to-date, and consistently evangelical commentary on the Minor Prophets has been long in coming. This first of a three-volume set on the Minor Prophets represents a substantive and helpful resource for understanding the Old Testament prophetic message. The Minor Prophets sets a new standard among Old Testament commentaries. Although the exegetical comments stand in the tradition of the venerable Keil and Delitzsch series, the in-depth critical approach to the Hebrew text in this commentary improves on it. The Minor Prophets features some of evangelicalism's finest scholars, who meticulously exegete the Hebrew text and apply the latest scholarship in textual and cognate studies to the texts of these books. The contributors also relate the message of the ancient prophets in practical and meaningful ways to contemporary life. Each commentary is prefaced by an introduction that presents the historical background of the prophetic book. The introduction also includes a select bibliography and an analytical outline, which forms the framework for the commentary. Throughout the volume, the authors provide their own translation alongside that of the NRSV. The commentary proper falls into two sections. The exegesis (at the top of each page) examines the Hebrew text in detail, interacts with the current literature, and sets forth sound conclusions. The exposition (at the bottom of each page) amplifies the exegesis by discussing related theological and hermeneutical issues explaining the flow of the prophetic narrative, and making appropriate applications. |
