Commentary on Joel, Amos, Obadiah
Author(s): Calvin, John (1509-1564)
(Alternative)
(Translator)
Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library
Description: In this book, John Calvin provides an engaging commentary
on three Minor Prophets in the Old Testament: Joel, Amos,
and Obadiah. Calvin begins his commentary on each book
with a short introduction.When commenting on a book, he
frequently offers his own translations of a passage, explaining
the subtleties and nuances of his translation. His treatment
of the text reveals his keen pastoral insights. And as always,
he interacts with other theologians, commentators, and por-
tions of the Bible when interpreting a particular passage.
After several hundred years, Calvin's Commentary on Joel,
Amos, and Obadiah remains an instructive and interesting
commentary to several Old Testament books.
