The New American Commentary Series In development for over a decade, The New American Commentary series is for those who have been seeking a commentary that honors the Scriptures, represents the finest in contemporary evangelical scholarship and lends itself to practical work of preaching and teaching. This comprehensive series serves as a minister's friend and a Bible student's guide. The New American Commentary is based on the inerrancy of Scripture, focuses on the intrinsic theological and exegetical concerns of each Biblical book, and engages the range of issues raised in contemporary Biblical scholarship. Drawing on the skills and insight of over forty Bible scholars, the New American Commentary brings together scholarship and piety to produce a tool that enhances and supports the life of the church. Highlights of This Volume Amos portrays the Lord as a lion roaring against pride, greed, social injustice, violence, and empty religion. The exhortation is to seek life and await a messianic restoration. Obadiah echoes and amplifies Amos's prophecy of judgment against God's enemies on the day of the Lord and victory for God's people.
