The NIV Application Commentary: Hosea, Amos, Micah

Smith, Dr. Gary V

Rear dust jacket notes: "This outstanding commentary on Amos seeks to exegete the text of Amos by considering issues of textual criticism, structure, historical and literary background, unity of the passage (or lack thereof), and the theological significance of the text. The commentary interacts with the leading nonevangelical and evangelical literature on Amos, both English and German, and presents a nondefensive evangelical perspective."

Amos: A Commentary (Library of Biblical Interpretation)

Regency Reference Library/Zondervan Publishing

Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament features today's top Old Testament scholars and 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. 
Commentary on each passage follows a clear structure to help readers grasp the flow and meaning of the text: The Main Idea of the Passage: A one- or two-sentence summary of the key ideas the biblical author seeks to communicate. Literary Context: A brief discussion of the relationship of the specific text to the book as a whole and to its place within the broader argument. Translation and Exegetical Outline: Commentators provide their own translations of each text, formatted to highlight its discourse structure and accompanied by a coherent outline that reflects the flow and argument of the text. Structure and Literary Form: An overview of the literary structure and rhetorical style adopted by the biblical author, highlighting how these features contribute to the communication of the main idea of the passage. Explanation of the Text: A detailed commentary on the passage, paying particular attention to how the biblical authors select and arrange their materials and how they work with words, phrases, and syntax to communicate their messages. Canonical and Practical Significance: The commentary on each unit will conclude by building bridges between the world of the biblical author and other biblical authors and with reflections on the contribution made by this unit to the development of broader issues in biblical theology--particularly on how later Old Testament and New Testament authors have adapted and reused the motifs in question. The discussion also includes brief reflections on the significance of the message of the passage for readers today. 
The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament series is the go-to resource for pastors and Bible teachers looking for deep but accessible study that equips them to connect the needs of Christians today with the biblical text.

Gary V. Smith’s second volume on Isaiah looks deeply and in wonder at the God who is both intimate and compassionate (Isaiah 40:28: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak”) and larger than our comprehension of time and space (Isaiah 66:1: “Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool”).

Broadening Your Biblical Horizons: Old Testament Survey, Part II : Job-Malachi

Evangelical Training Assn

Casi toda introducción a los libros proféticos de la Biblia se enfoca en la forma en que se componen. Sin embargo, Gary V. Smith aplica la teoría de la comunicación y la sociología del conocimiento a fin de analizar simplemente cómo la predicación de los profetas del Antiguo Testamento cambió la vida de individuos, influyó en los líderes más poderosos del mundo y logró el arrepentimiento de naciones completas. Los capítulos individuales sobre Amós, Oseas, Jonás, Miqueas, Isaías, Nahum, Sofonías, Habacuc, Jeremías, Joel, Abdías, Ezequiel, Daniel, Hageo, Zacarías y Malaquías también incluyen preguntas para conducir al diálogo sobre sus implicancias teológicas y sociales. Asimismo, el libro Los profetas como predicadores se caracteriza por diez ilustraciones, un glosario de términos, bibliografía e índices de temas y nombres.Although most introductions to the prophetic books of the Bible focus  on their composition, Gary V. Smith uses communication theory and the sociology of knowledge to analyze just how the preaching of the Old Testament prophets changed individual lives, influenced the world’s greatest leaders, and caused entire nations to repent. Individual chapters on Amos, Hosea, Jonah, Micah, Isaiah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, Joel, Obadiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi also include discussion questions concerning theological and social implications. The Prophets as Preachers also features ten illustrations, glossary of terms, bibliography, and indices of subjects and names.
