Minor Prophets, Major Themes From the Foreword by Bill WYlie-Kellermann: "...Here is a commentary which ought to be required reading in Old Testament seminars, though one suspects in some it would need to be snuck in the door. This is more than a commentary in the conventional sense. It jumps the track of passionless objectivity and moves readily across time, deftly implicating our lives and history." 405 pages — paper
