Dietrich, Walter: Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah

Translated from German by Peter Altmann. The distinctiveness of this commentary lies in its consistent rotation between synchronic and diachronic views. This double perspective is directed toward the three prophetic books as a single entity, toward each individual book, and toward the interpretation of each pericope. The result is a sophisticated picture, on the one hand of the structure and intention of the texts in their final form, and on the other hand of their compositional history - from the second half of the 7th century to the late Old Testament period. Each exegetical section opens with a precise, text-critically supported translation and finishes with a synthesis that attempts to make note of the lasting insights from each text and the most important results of the analysis. 286 Seiten mit 8 Abb., gebunden (International Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament/Verlag W. Kohlhammer 2016) Rückenkante beschädigt/defective spine
