- Obadiah's oracle against Edom.
- Jonah's mission to the city of Nineveh.
- Micah's message to Samaria and Jerusalem.
These books are short yet surprisingly rich in theological and practical terms. In his commentary on these minor but important prophets, Daniel Timmer considers each book's historical setting, genre, structure and unity. He explores their key themes with an eye to their fulfilment in the New Testament, and their significance for today.
The Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, they continue to aim at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.
