The Books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah by Thomas Renz Pdf

In this commentary, Thomas Renz reads Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah as three carefully crafted writings of enduring relevance, each of which makes a vital contribution to the biblical canon. Discussing the historical settings, Renz takes up both long-standing issues, such as the relationship of Zephaniah to Josiah’s reforms, and the socioeconomic conditions of the time suggested by recent archaeological research. The place of these writings within the Book of the Twelve is given fresh consideration, including the question of what one should make of the alleged redaction history of Nahum and Habakkuk. The author’s careful translation of the text comes with detailed textual notes, illuminating some of the Bible’s most outstanding poetry (Nahum) and one of the biblical chapters that is among the most difficult to translate (Habakkuk 3). The thorough verse-by-verse commentary is followed by stimulating theological reflection, opening up avenues for teaching and preaching from these prophetic writings. No matter their previous familiarity with these and other Minor Prophets, scholars, pastors, and lay readers alike will find needed guidance in working through these difficult but important books of the Bible.

Rethinking Biblical Scholarship by Philip R. Davies Pdf

"Rethinking Biblical Scholarship" brings together seminal essays to provide readers with an assessment of the archaeological and exegetical research which has transformed the discipline of biblical studies over the last two decades. The essays focus on history and historiography, exploring how scholarly constructs and ideologies mould historical, literary and cultural data and shape scholarly discourse. Most of the essays illustrate the development of what has been called a "minimalist" methodology. Among the many central topics examined are the formation of the Jewish scriptural canon and how the concepts of "prophecy" and "apocalypse" illuminate the emergence of Judaism in the late Persian and Hellenistic periods.

Whose Bible Is It Anyway? by Philip R. Davies Pdf

The Bible, argues this book, may belong to the Church or synagogue as an instrument of religious practice. But as the object of academic study it belongs to the world as a whole. Confessional biblical studies belong to a discipline better termed 'scripture', with 'biblical studies' designating a discipline that imposes no religious conditions and includes any form of rational discourse about the bible. A basic requirement of this discipline is to speak not of 'the Bible' but of 'bibles'. A number of exegetical studies suggest how a genuinely academic discourse about biblical writings, distancing itself from received canons of interpretation, can expose a subtext of deceit within the creation narratives, reconceptualize the relationship of Abraham and his deity, reveal lament psalms as texts of oppression, and identify the death of Daniel's God. In new chapters for this second edition, Davies evaluates how the film Monty Python's Life of Brian contributes to "life of Jesus" research. Here is a challenge to conventional biblical scholarship and a bid to define and establish a genuine academic discipline of biblical studies.

Prophets of the Old Testament by James K. Crews Pdf

After Israel's fall, God cried out with strong pleas and warnings for Judah's repentance. Judah had brief periods of spiritual renewal, but always returned to idolatry and rebellion. Finally, her judgment was inevitable and God sent a flurry of prophets to warn the people to repent and return to Him. Four prophets wrote the following five books before and immediately after Jerusalem's destruction and the people's exile to Babylon. It was only 136 years after Israel's destruction that Judah herself was destroyed. NAHUM (662-657 BC) again warned Nineveh, Assyria's capitol, of their impending judgment. They had heeded Jonah's message and repented 125 years earlier, but had returned to wickedness. God graciously gave them another 45-50 years after Nahum preached, but their destruction finally came in 612 BC. ZEPHANIAH (621-612 BC) preached a strong message of righteousness and prophesied judgment for Judah and her enemies. He also spoke of Israel's glorious restoration. HABAKKUK (607-598 BC) reported that God would use the wicked Babylonians to punish Judah. This evoked the discussion of why God would use a nation that was even more wicked than Judah to punish and destroy it. JEREMIAH (628-560 BC) described in detail the destruction of Judah, Egypt, Babylon, and Judah's other neighbors. He was deeply affected by the messages he had to deliver, but wrote little to offer the people hope. LAMENTATIONS (586-581 BC) is a collection of five elegies of Jeremiah expressing great mourning and sorrow for the irrecoverable loss of the temple and Jerusalem.

The Prophets of Israel by James K. Hoffmeier Pdf

Seeing the biblical prophets in context makes all the difference in understanding their messages In The Prophets of Israel, Old Testament scholar and longtime field archaeologist James K. Hoffmeier explores the biblical prophets through their ancient settings. Readers gain a more accurate and comprehensive understanding through many practical components: Full-color photos and images of historical and cultural importance Focus on the geopolitical contexts of the prophets Clear explanations of the prophets' provoking messages Discussion questions for Bible students or instructor use These features and photos vividly illustrate the biblical narratives and the prophets' concerns, helping readers better comprehend each text's message and make informed theological applications. The biblical prophetic tradition extends far before and far after the Major and Minor Prophets. Yet all biblical prophets--including recognizable figures like Moses and Elijah, lesser-known prophets like Huldah and Micaiah, and the New Testament prophets--ministered in distinctive cultural and historical circumstances. Hoffmeier draws on his extensive knowledge of ancient Near Eastern culture, geography, political realities, and the Old Testament message to locate the prophets in their worlds. This approach illuminates prophetic messages and ministries with a theological clarity that basic history and literary interpretation cannot achieve.
