Description: "The emphasis in this commentary, following the format of this established series, lies in the final shape of the biblical books as they have been transmitted to us, informed by the important recent work on the shaping of the prophetic literature as a whole. While the historical background and purpose of these books is certainly relevant to their study, their value lies in their ongoing relevance to both ancient and modern readers, and Coggins seeks above all to draw attention, through verse-by-verse comment, to these features of the text."--BOOK JACKET.
