Volume 2
This much-needed commentary provides an authoritative guide to a better understanding of the often-neglected book of Micah. It gives insight into the individual sayings of Micah, to the way they were understood and used as they were gathered into the growing collection, and to their role in the final form of the document. "I am convinced," says Dr. Mays, that Micah "is not just a collection of prophetic sayings, but is the outcome of a history of prophetic proclamations and is itself, in its final form, prophecy."

Hosea, along with Amos, opens
the period of the "Writing Prophets."
He is the only man called to the office
of prophet who both lived and
prophesied in the Northern Kingdom of
Israel. This volume, no available in a
new casebound edition, offers a
verse-by-verse commentary on the
book of Hosea. James Luther Mays
gives the background to the book of
Hosea: Hosea, the man; the time; the
sayings; the message; and the
contents of the book.
