“Study the books of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, and Jonah, with pioneering Old Testament scholar Douglas Stuart.

Word Biblical Commentary: Isaiah, vol. 2 (34–66) by John D. W. Watts

“Dr. Watts has revisited this work he produced almost twenty years ago, updating it in light of current scholarship. He continues to hold to the unity of Isaiah, rather than ascribing it to two or three composers or schools, even though the work ranges over three crucial centuries of Israel’s history.

In this second WBC volume on Isaiah, he continues to focus on the central figure of Yahweh and to examine the changing roles played by Israel, Jerusalem, Assyria, Babylon, and Persia. He carefully examines the language, form, theological content, and scriptural parallels of the book.” – Logos

Word Biblical Commentary: James by Ralph P. Martin

“In this volume in the Word Biblical Commentary, Ralph Martin contributes to our understanding of faith and works, salvation and ethics, gospel and law. Grappling first with the letter’s authorship, Martin argues that the epistle is the application of James’ practical teaching to a later dispute in ancient Syria when Jewish and Gentile believers struggled to define their relationship. He shows that James’ instructions on Christian “wisdom” make it an authentic word that needs to be heard today.” – Accordance

Word Biblical Commentary: Jeremiah (1–25) by Peter C. Craigie

“Examine the compositional sources, textual witnesses, chronology, and theological significance of Jeremiah with Peter Craigie. Review and evaluate modern critical perspectives to Jeremiah, and consider the legacy of nineteenth-century “higher critical” understanding of Jeremiah as an evolutionary document. Organized for easy reference, Word Biblical commentaries make an ideal Bible study companion whether you are studying a single passage or a complete biblical book.” – Logos

Word Biblical Commentary: Jeremiah (26–52) by Gerald L. Keown, Pamela J. Scalise, and Thomas G. Smothers

“Few books of the Old Testament have attracted more scholarly attention in recent decades than the prophetic writings of Jeremiah. In this concluding [of the WBC Jeremiah Commentary], the authors help you understand the power of Jeremiah’s book by revealing the chaos of his world. In a time of radical change, Jeremiah saw beyond the immediate historical events and sought to convey the long-term change that was occurring in both the history of the kingdom of God and God’s ultimate plan for the world.” – Accordance

Word Biblical Commentary: Job (3 vols.) (FORTHCOMING) by David J. Clines

“Learn how every element of Job is an essential element in the weaving of a literary and theological masterpiece. Examine the enigmatic origins and context of Job, its textual tradition, its complex structural relationships, and keys to its elegant poetry. This volume never loses sight of the big picture or the details. It constantly surveys the progress of Job, unravels the identity of its characters, and attempts to identify the distinctive viewpoints of the book’s speakers. The textual notes, which center on explaining why the English versions of Job differ so amazingly from one another, support the author’s carefully worded translation.” – Logos
