Product Description

Though two of the shortest books in the Bible, Joel and Obadiah are treasures rich in themes, imagery, and poetry. Both Joel and Obadiah emphasize judgement and the redemption of societal misconduct. In this commentary, Barton discusses questions of historical background and literary architecture and unpacks the theological significance of the text--both historical and contemporary--of these prophets.
