Excerpt from The Books of the Prophets Micah Obadiah Joel and Jonah: With Introduction and Notes HE existence of so many excellent books relating to the Minor Prophets, collectively or singly, may be thought to render the production of another work on the same subject super fluous. But a series of commentaries on the whole Bible, when once started, calls for completion; and this is perhaps sufficient justi fication for the present volume. Nevertheless its writer has not been content merely to preserve what in previous commentators appeared most worth preservation, but has endeavoured to sup plement it, wherever expansion or addition seemed desirable. Possibly an apology is required for the sections in the Introduc tion dealing with Messianic Prophecy and Hebrew Versification. But Christology is attracting renewed attention now, so that a review of the Old Testament passages connected with it cannot be deemed altogether untimely or out of place; whilst the inclu sion of a slight sketch of the principles of Hebrew poetic rhythm has its utility in a book which takes some account of the textual criticism of such of the prophetic writings as are here included. In the preparation of the volume the writer has consulted the works of older scholars like Maurer, Caspari, Ewald, Pusey, Hen derson, and various contributors to the Speaker's Commentary; but he is mainly indebted to more recent critics, such as Marti, Nowack, Sellin, Van Hoonacker, and Wellhausen on the Conti nent, and Bewer, Cheyne, Driver, Horton, Kirkpatrick, Lanchester, G. Adam Smith, J. M. Powis Smith, and W. Robertson Smith in this country or in America. Whilst, however, he has derived from his predecessors much of his material, he has sought (as in a pre vious work) to exercise an independent judgment in drawing con elusions from the data that have been collected.
