Need minor prophets commentary recommendation
Need minor prophets commentary recommendation
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good commentary on the minor prophets, one without a dispensational bent? Maybe even one that includes (gasp!) more than one view? Thanks!
Re: Need minor prophets commentary recommendation
It is hard to find a commentary that I would endorse unreservedly, since I know of few that see as much of AD70 in the prophets as I believe I see there (Luke 21:20-22).
A very good commentator on the minor prophets was Homer Hailey, of the Churches of Christ. This man had memorized every verse in the Bible, and was especially expert on the Old Testament. He was apparently amillennial, but not preterist. I quoted him extensively in my commentary on Revelation, under the "Spiritual" (or Idealist) column. I had brief corresponence with him before his death in 2000 (at nearly 100 years-old). There may be better commentaries on the minor prophets than his, but I am not aware of them. Find his "Commentary on the Minor Prophets," and you will do well.
