Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah Through the Centuries

  • By Brad Anderson
$117.49
Product Description

The first volume to focus exclusively on the reception history of Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah

Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah Through the Centuries explores the reception history of the three Hebrew prophets Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah--offering original insights into the interpretation, use, and impact of these prophetic texts and traditions. In this unique book, biblical scholar Bradford A. Anderson examines the use of these texts in different religious communities, surveys various commentaries and interpretive traditions, and addresses the social and cultural employment of these prophetic works in areas such as literature, music, and the visual arts.

Situating Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah as part of the Book of the Twelve (or Minor) Prophets, the volume first addresses the reception of the three prophetic works, followed by the author's commentary. Each prophetic text is introduced by a chapter containing a brief history of interpretation and discussion of key historical and literary issues, important theological, thematic, and rhetorical issues, and the religious, social, and cultural reception of the prophet and the book. Throughout the text, the author engages with recurring "conversation partners" that highlight important and interesting trajectories in the afterlives of the prophetic books.

  • Outlines the ways Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah have been used and understood down through the centuries
  • Addresses early Jewish and rabbinic interpretation, Christian contexts, and critical reception
  • Investigates the impact of the texts in the religious traditions of Judaism and Christianity
  • Contains chapter-by-chapter commentary by a leading scholar in the subject
  • Feature a wealth of high-quality images highlighting the visual reception of the prophets

Part of the Wiley-Blackwell Bible Commentaries series, Hosea, Joel, and Obadiah Through the Centuries is an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students working on these prophetic works, and a must-have resource for scholars, clergy, and religious leaders.
