If you ask average Bible readers what they know about the book of Joel, they might answer with one word: "Locusts!" This is not a bad memory hook, because a debilitating locust plague provides the backdrop of the book and a portion of its contents. Due to locusts, the people of Judah were in a wretched condition- suffering a national catastrophe- when God inspired the prophet Joel to bring a message to them. What does Joel tell the desperate people to do in their crisis? Rev Thomas P. Nass digs into the background, translation, style, and historical interpretation of this Minor Prophet. The Book of Joel is a book of comfort and hope for believers who are suffering. For people who feel that they are at the end of their rope, God paints a glorious picture of better days to come. Featuring Excursuses on:Were the Old Testament Prophets at Odds with the Priests? Fasting Law and Gospel in Joel and the Prophets The Trinity in the Old Testament and many more. About the series The Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text. The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text. The foremost interpretive lens centers on the unified proclamation of the person and work of Christ across every Scriptural book. The Commentary fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture; Each passage bears witness to the confession that God has reconciled the world to Himself through the incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ His Son. Authors expose the rich treasury of language, imagery, and thematic content of the Scripture while supplementing their work with additional research in archaeology, history, and extrabiblical literature. Throughout, God's Word emanates from authors' careful attention and inculcates the ongoing life of the Church in Word, Sacrament, and daily confession.
