Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament brings together commentary features rarely gathered together in one volume. With careful discourse analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, the authors trace the flow of argument in each Old Testament book, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. This volume was previously published in the Hearing the Message of Scripture series. Each volume offers a set of distinctive features, including: the main idea of the passage, its literary context, the author's original translation and exegetical outline with Hebrew layout, its structure and literary form, an explanation of the text, and its canonical and practical significance. The diagram of each passage enables readers to grasp quickly and accurately the main idea of the text, its development, and supporting ideas; and allows them to understand how the commentator arrived at this depiction and interpretation of the passage. The commentary places a special emphasis on identifying and discussing the main thrust of each passage and showing how it contributes to the development of the whole composition. Readers will find help in drawing out the meaning of the Hebrew for interpretation. While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical Hebrew, all who strive to understand the Old Testament and better convey its meaning will find these books beneficial. Each unit concludes with a discussion of the canonical and practical significance of the passage, synthesizing its theology and message for readers today. There are many exegetical commentaries, but none accomplish what this series has achieved. X

(Full review at SpoiledMilks, 7/18/15)
This series looks at the flow of the text to discover the authorââ?¬â?¢s ââ?¬Å"theological agendaââ?¬Â? and what they tried to communicate to their audience(9).
Youngbloodââ?¬â?¢s look at the historical context, though brief, is helpful in putting Jonah in his historical place. Youngblood gives a reason for the lack of historical details in Jonah, unlike other OT prophetic books. Itââ?¬â?¢s simply not the authorââ?¬â?¢s purpose. We donââ?¬â?¢t need to knowÃ? whenÃ? this was,Ã? whoÃ? the ââ?¬Ë?king of Ninevehââ?¬â?¢ was, orÃ? why/howÃ? the people repented so easily. What the text tells us is that Godââ?¬â?¢s word prevailed. We need to look at what the text says and not what we wish it said.
The look at discourse analysis fills up what has been lacking in many commentaries.

This is an excellent commentary to use for studying Jonah. If a book has the ability to encourage you to read and teach God�s Word, it�s probably worth getting. And this one is.
