INTERPRETATION- HOSEA & MICAH HB

James Limburg introduces the first six of the minor prophets 'Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah' and provides a commentary that relates to today's world. He demonstrates why attention should be given to the words of these prophets as they communicate the word of God. Limburg emphasizes the major themes: peace and justice, Messiah and mission, love and forgiveness. Limburg tested his material in a variety of contexts - in seminars, lectures, and sermons for colleges, seminaries, congregations and retreats. He deals with selected texts, moving from explanation to consideration of their significance for contemporary life. His presentation is ideal for both the classroom and the pulpit.
