Summary | "The Expositor's Bible: The Book of the Twelve Prophets, Vol. 1" by George Adam Smith is a theological exposition written in the early 20th century. This volume serves as a scholarly analysis of the Minor Prophets in the Hebrew Bible, specifically focusing on the books of Amos, Hosea, and Micah. It aims to explore the historical context, critical interpretations, and the theological significance of these prophetic texts, addressing their relevance to contemporary faith and practice. The opening of this work provides a detailed preface outlining the purpose of the series and how it intends to bridge the historical and modern understanding of the Minor Prophets. Smith emphasizes the richness of these texts, which have often been overlooked or misinterpreted due to their size and complexity. He discusses the need for a critical examination of the texts, referencing various historical and critical frameworks that inform their interpretations. Furthermore, he introduces the significance of prophecy in early Israel and establishes the groundwork for a detailed chronological study of the Twelve Prophets, arguing against their traditional label as "Minor" and highlighting their profound influence on the development of prophetic literature.
