The Minor Prophets offer a wealth of revelation of God and his purposes. Taken together, however, one can see three attributes of God that seem to dominate these books: his sovereignty, his holiness, and his love.

In this succinct and rich commentary, James Boice treats Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, and Jonah. In them he discovers and offers again to the people of God the message of justice and hope that characterizes the God of Israel. The Church has often neglected these books simply because they are short and more obscure than the major prophets. But with this commentary there is no justification for ignorance of these five provoca-tive and relevant books of the Bible.
