"Over the last thirty years, scholars have begun to explore the implications of an ancient Jewish and Christian tradition that referred to the 'Minor Prophets' as 'the Twelve, ' 'the Twelve Prophets, ' or the 'Book of the Twelve.' Scholarly work on the Book of the Twelve in the last quarter century has focused on two issues in particular: 1) developing models regarding how the Book of the Twelve came to be recorded on a single scroll, and 2) isolating unifying elements that transcend the individual writings and take on new significance when the Book of the Twelve becomes a single collection rather than twelve distinct writings. Dr. Nogalski's comprehensive and accessible commentary offers an overview of the ancient traditions concerning the Book of the Twelve that lay the foundation for understanding these recent developments ... the primary goal of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series is to make available serious, credible biblical scholarship in an accessible and less intimidating format. A visual generation of believers deserves a commentary series that contains not only the all-important textual commentary on Scripture, but images, photographs, maps, works of fine art, and drawings that bring the text to life. Each volume of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series features a CD-ROM, which expands the uses and capabilities of the Commentary even more"--Publisher description. Hosea.
