Over the last thirty years, scholars have begun to explore the implications of an ancient Jewish and Christian tradition that referred to the “Minor Prophets” as “the Twelve,” “the Twelve Prophets,” or the “Book of the Twelve.” Scholarly work on the Book of the Twelve in the last quarter century has focused on two issues in particular:
1) Developing models regarding how the Book of the Twelve came to be recorded on a single scroll, and
2) Isolating unifying elements that transcend the individual writings and take on new significance when the Book of the Twelve becomes a single collection rather than twelve distinct writings.
Dr. Nogalski’s comprehensive and accessible commentary offers an overview of the ancient traditions concerning the Book of the Twelve that lay the foundation for understanding these recent developments.
James D. Nogalski serves as W. Marshall & Lulie Craig Professor of Old Testament in the Department of Religion at Baylor University. He joined the faculty of the Religion Department at Baylor in the fall of 2007 after teaching at institutions in South Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois, and North Carolina. Nogalski is best known for his ongoing work in prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible, and especially in the Book of the Twelve (Hosea through Malachi). Nogalski grew up in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kentucky. After graduating Samford University he completed a Master of Divinity degree at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky before traveling to Zurich, Switzerland where he completed a Master of Theology in Old Testament at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Rüschlikon, and his doctoral degree at the University of Zurich.
