The latest addition to the FOTL series presents a complete form-critical analysis of the last six books in the Minor Prophets: Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
By looking carefully at the literary genre and internal structure of each book, Michael Floyd uncovers the literary conventions that help shape the composition of these prophetic books in their final form. His approach also yields fresh views of how the parts of each book fit together to make up the whole -- particularly with respect to Nahum, Haggai, and Malachi -- and provides a basis for reconsidering how each book is historically related to the time of the prophet for whom it is named.
Useful to scholars, pastors, and students, this commentary shows how analysis of literary form can lead to a more profound interpretation of the messages of the Minor Prophets.
