Reviews for Six Minor Prophets Through the Centuries: Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi

The emphasis on reception history makes this volume an important complement to larger critical commentaries within personal and research libraries that hold collections on the prophetic literature. (Religious Studies Review, 1 September 2014) The uniqueness of this commentary series is that it is the first to be devoted primarily to the reception history of the Bible and it is done in a clearly outlined, user friendly, verse-by-verse commentary format ... This quick, illuminating display of the genealogy of interpretations is a unique achievement ... useful to any reader interested in biblical interpretation. (Reviews in Religion & Theology, 4 September 2013) It provides a fascinating journey of discovery and can be read, unlike most other commentaries, from cover to cover.
