Palmer Robertson, becomes particularly clear through the study of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah. As the historical context of their messages is explored, it becomes ever more apparent that biblical history--in addition to providing the context for prophecy--actually embodies and functions as prophecy. The events that occurred to Judah and its neighbors spoke in anticipation of world-shaking circumstances that were yet to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this commentary Robertson combines the insights of biblical theology with a keen awareness of the age in which we live. After first dealing with the relevant background issues of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah--redemptive-historical setting, theological perspective, date and authorship, and so on--Robertson applies the care and precision of an exegete and the concern of a pastor to his verse-by-verse exposition of each book. The result is a relevant confrontation with the ancient call to repentance and faith--a confrontation greatly needed in today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007383109905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007385862417,"sku":"NIN9780802882189","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802882188.jpg?v=1751264216"},{"product_id":"books-of-nahum-habakkuk-and-zephaniah-book-thomas-renz-9780802826268","title":"Books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51397664997649,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51397665358097,"sku":"GOR014257339","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802826261.jpg?v=1750702311"},{"product_id":"vom-monopol-zum-wettbewerb-book-thomas-renz-9783810031112","title":"Vom Monopol zum Wettbewerb","description":"Die vorliegende Studie ist die nur geringf gig  berarbeitete Fassung meiner an der Universit t Augsburg eingereichten Dissertation.

A final chapter explores the book's rhetorical effectiveness in presenting a suitable response to the issues the exilic community faced. Renz offers both a convincing analysis of the book of Ezekiel as well as a model for the fruitful integration of traditional critical methods with more recent literary, rhetorical, and sociological approaches. This book will interest all those who study the history, literature, and theology of ancient Israel.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This publication has also been published in hardback, please \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brill.com\/view\/title\/6698\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eclick here\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for details.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52680503099665,"sku":"NLS9780391041622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780391041622.jpg?v=1768557687"},{"product_id":"rhetorical-function-of-the-book-of-ezekiel-book-thomas-renz-9789004113626","title":"The Rhetorical Function of the Book of Ezekiel","description":"This study analyses the book of Ezekiel as a tool of communication, arguing that the book was designed to shape the self-understanding of the exilic community. A discussion of the historical context precedes a chapter that deals with the basic thrust and literary arrangement of Ezekiel. A detailed examination of individual rhetorical techniques (use of the watchman motif, legal traditions, emotional language, and others) and of crucial passages (especially 24:15-27 and 37:1-14) follows. The final chapter explores the book's suitability for the situation for which it was designed. This work gives readers the opportunity to study the book of Ezekiel as a whole and to explore some of its intricacies. Its methodology is an example of the fruitful integration of traditional critical methods and more recent literary and sociological approaches.
