DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is the last in a series of four books about prophecy. This volume is about the often-overlooked minor prophets. In reality, they include very interesting information about events that happened after their time and events still in our future. Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Nahum wrote in the Eighth and Seventh Centuries BC [Before Christ] about coming judgment. Joel, Jonah, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk wrote in the Ninth through Seventh Centuries BC about faith and repentance. Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi wrote in the Eighth and Seventh Centuries BC. Haggai’s ministry was to scold the returned exiles for their delay in rebuilding the Temple and to encourage them to set to work. Zechariah predicted the second coming of Christ, His reign, His priesthood, His kingship, and more. Malachi is the final prophet with the last message of the Old Testament. It includes the hope in the prophecy of John the Baptist's ministry. This series is contained in four books. The whole scope of prophecy must be considered in determining the meaning of any particular passage. Therefore, a reading of all four books will greatly improve understanding. This volume includes a bonus chapter— The Book of Revelation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith astute attention to Zephaniah's intertextual relationships with other biblical texts, Nicholas R. Werse explores the implications of Zephaniah as a book in perpetual conversation with other biblical cosmologies and conceptions of the human place in relationship with creation. Werse guides readers to critically examine Zephaniah's ancient worldview and subsequent legacy in dialog with the world's modern ecological crises. Werse argues that Zephaniah begins and ends with the land. It begins with the removal of all life from the land and ends with a proclamation returning the exiles to their ancestral home. Along this journey, all three chapters of Zephaniah systematically reverse language and imagery from Gen 1-11 and draw deeply from the language of earlier prophets to depict the 6th century BCE destruction of Jerusalem as nothing short of the unravelling of creation. While remaining suspicious of Zephaniah's distinctively androcentric worldview, Werse traces Zephaniah's rhetorical journey from the deconstruction of creation and the nations, to its proclamations of hope for the future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs recent scholarship dates Hebrew Bible materials later and later, the Deuteronomistic History has grown in importance. Viewed as the original, earliest document of the Hebrew Scriptures, it is credited with influencing (formally or informally) almost every level of the Hebrew Bible's composition. The 13 essays in this book include articles by N. Lohfink, A.G. Auld, J. Blenkinsopp, R.J. Coggins, J. Crenshaw, J. Van Seters and R.R. Wilson, as well as outstanding articles by newer scholars in the field. All address the question of whether or not the claims made by the pervasive pan-deuteronomism movement sweeping the discipline can, in fact, be verified.
