The New American Commentary on Amos, Obadiah, and Jonah offers an insightful, thorough exposition of these three prophetic books, each revealing God’s justice, mercy, and His call to repentance for both Israel and the nations.

In this volume, the author explores the distinct messages of each prophet: Amos’ declaration of judgment against Israel, Obadiah’s prophecy of Edom’s downfall, and Jonah’s mission to Nineveh and God’s compassionate mercy. The commentary gives special attention to the historical and cultural context of the ancient Near East, the literary structure of the prophecies, and their theological significance.

Drawing from the original Hebrew text while remaining accessible to a broad audience, this commentary offers both theological depth and practical application. Key themes such as God’s sovereignty, judgment, divine mercy, and the call for repentance and justice are highlighted throughout.

Staying true to the NAC’s commitment to biblical authority and evangelical scholarship, this volume provides verse-by-verse analysis, introductions to each book, and theological reflections that make it an indispensable tool for pastors, teachers, and serious students of Scripture.
