Commentaries On The Twelve Minor Prophets Vol 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Commentaries on the Twelve Minor Prophets, Vol. 3 Contained in this Volume, as in the last, are the Writings of three Prophets: and they are explained and elucidated in the Author's peculiar manner; every sentence being dissected and examined, and the meaning ascertained according to the context, without the introduction of any extraneous matters. The main object throughout seems to have been to exhibit the genuine sense and design of the Sacred Writers. The Book of Jonah is a plain narrative, and no part is supposed to have been written in the style of poetry except the prayer in the second chapter. Some things in this Book have furnished Infidels with objections, and have induced some learned men, bearing at least the name of believers, to indulge in inventions. To satisfy Infidels or themselves, they have endeavoured to prove, that this Book is either an historical allegory, or a parable, or a dream, or a moral fiction, or something else still more absurd and extravagant.

Excerpt from Commentaries, Vol. 4: On the Twelve Minor Prophets The present Volume, though it contains the Works of Three Prophets, is yet considerably smaller in size than the preceding Volumes; but the last will more than compensate for this deficiency. The two first Prophets, Habakkuk and Zephaniah, lived before the Captivity; and the other, Haggai, began his prophetic office about sixteen years after the return of the great body of the people from Babylon by the permission given them by King Cyrus. It is commonly thought that Habakkuk prophesied after Zephaniah, though placed before him in our Bibles. The reign of Jehoiakin is assigned as his age, about 608 years before Christ, while Zephaniah performed his office in the reign of Josiah, about 30 years earlier. Like the other prophets he is mainly engaged in reproving the extreme wickedness of the people, on account of which he denounces on them the judgments of God, while he gives occasional intimations of a better state of things, and affords some glimpses of the blessings of the gospel.
