    This commentary was a great help for me in doing a research paper at seminary. Yet, I wish it could have dug deeper into Amos to show more of the imagery of the Hebrew literature that would give greater insight into the nuances Amos intended. This would be a good start for pastors desiring more info on Amos. Highly recommended for a layperson.

    Amos, Obadiah, Jonah is an Old Testament commentary, written by Billy K. Smith and Frank S. Page and published by B&H Academic is an enduring work of academic excellence and superior Exegesis with pastoral care. This commentary is a intriguing edition of the New American Commentary Series, a prestigious series which is synonymous with outstanding exegesis and unparalleled application, this volume not only continues this legacy, but propels it to new heights. Amos, Obadiah, Jonah is one of the most articulate and practical commentaries on the prophetical books in Holy Scripture. Smith and Page are a highly regarded scholars who deeply understand the minor prophets.

    Amos, Obadiah, Jonah has two main sections the typical general introduction, and then followed by a insightful exegetical commentaries on these books of minor prophets. With regard to the general introduction Page and Smith spends a great deal of time defending the historicity of the books as well as varying literary motifs. They also spend a large amount of time on their introduction and it is very well worth a read. The translation of Amos, Obadiah, Jonah that they uses is the NIV (New International Version), thankfully it is the 1984 version of the NIV rather than the 2011 version, which has rid itself of much of Gods gender.

    While I disagree with Page and Smith on a few of issues with regard to Old Testament interpretation, their scholarly work on the these books is very well researched and written for a pastor preaching or teaching through these three books of the minor prophets exegeticaly. In the vein of recommending, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, to others I would recommend this commentary to pastors and scholars. There are many commentaries about Amos, Obadiah, Jonah available at this moment but Amos, Obadiah, Jonah of the New American Commentary series is commentary too good to pass on.

    This book was provided to me free of charge from B&H Academic in exchange for an unbiased, honest review.
