This two-volume set is a literary commentary of the book of the Twelve Prophets. Building upon the author's previous work on the structure and literary coherence of the book of Isaiah, it attempts to read the book of the Twelve as a distinctive literary work with it's own structure, themes, and theological or ideological perspective. In addition, it treats each of the twelve minor prophets as a literacy entity unto itself as well as a component unit of the larger book of the Twelve. This is volume one in the set and contains the minor prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, and Jonah.
