About this title

Synopsis

<p><strong>Obadiah's oracle against Edom. Jonah's mission to the city of Nineveh. Micah's message to Samaria and Jerusalem.</strong> These books are short yet surprisingly rich in theological and practical terms. In this Tyndale 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.</p><p>The Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The <em>Introduction</em> to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following astructural <em>Analysis</em>, the <em>Commentary</em> takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. <em>Additional Notes</em> provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties.</p><p>In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: <em>Context</em>, <em>Comment</em>, and <em>Meaning</em>. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bibleand make its message plain.</p>
