| Summary | "The Expositor's Bible: The Book of the Twelve Prophets, Vol. 2" by George Adam Smith is a scholarly work on biblical exegesis written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the exploration of the Minor Prophets, specifically covering Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Obadiah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Joel, and Jonah. It delves into their historical background, critical interpretations, and theological implications, offering a comprehensive understanding of prophetic literature during a transformative period in Israel's history. The opening of the book details the framework of the volume, indicating that it will focus on the lesser-known prophets from the seventh century and beyond, as well as the complex social and religious conditions that shaped their messages. It outlines the organization of each chapter, including critical introductions, expositions, and contextualizations, while acknowledging the challenges of textual integrity and interpretation. Through a blend of historical context and critical analysis, the author sets the stage for a deep examination of Israel's prophetic tradition, adapting modern scholarship to ancient texts, revealing the nuanced developments in prophecy as it interacts with societal changes throughout history.
