Early critical scholarship focused on the prophets as people. Recent scholarship, however, focuses more on the prophetic texts as literary works. Redaction criticism identifies likely literary layers behind the final form of the text. This volume employs redaction-critical methodology and comments on the various literary layers identified within each text. Some scholars consider that the twelve books of the Minor Prophets should be read as one Book of the Twelve. This volume, however, comments on each book in its own right, while recognising that there are links between them and other biblical books.
