Overview

The Hearing the Message series helps pastors understand what Old Testament authors wanted their readers to hear—and provides preachers with the homiletical tools they need to deliver the message. With careful analysis and interpretation rooted in a study of Hebrew, these inaugural volumes in the Hearing the Message of Scripture series track the flow of arguments in the Old Testament books of Obadiah and Jonah.

Each volume in the Hearing the Message series includes a graphical presentation of the text of the passage, enabling readers to grasp quickly and accurately the main idea of the passage, its development, and supporting ideas. These commentaries identify and and discuss the main thrust of each passage and show how it contributes to the development of the whole book.
