Twelve Prophets, Volume 2 (OT Daily Study Bible Series)

Rating:
Summary: Good for applying the minor prophets to today
Review: According to Andrew Hill and John Walton, this is "insightful theological analysis and contemporary application" of the prophets' messages. This commentary series can be hit and miss regarding rigorous scholarship, but the work on the 12 prophets seems to be better than some of the other volumes. Note that this is a two volume set to get all 12 prophets. On Zechariah the commentary does a good job with eschatology.

Summary: A Practical, Scholarly, and Devotional Commentary
Review: This commentary covers the last 7 of the minor prophets. It and its companion volume 1 (on the first 5 minor prophets) are a splendid help for anyone who wants to read these prophets as God's word for us. Craigie gives us the historical background for the books and relates them to our lives today. The commentary is full of pithy observations worth remembering. These volumes are more interestingly written and useful than several of the other volumes of the Old Testament Daily Study Bible that I have used.
