NAC 19a: Hosea, Joel

'The strength of the New American Commentary is that it genuinely focuses on
what the text says. This does not mean that the authors are out of touch with
the vast array of secondary literature; rather it means they are committed to
putting first things first. Pastors and Bible teachers will be grateful for
this resource for years to come.' - D.A. CarsonThe implement employed in
these two prophets to capture the attention and hearts of God's people is the
symbol. In Joel it is the locust, a symbol of impending destruction. In Hosea
the prophet himself - and his scorned but constant love - dramatically portrays
God's message of grace and his call to repent. With his customary exegetical
skill and theological insight, Garrett guides us through these striking works
of prophetic literature.'Garrett is a clear writer who reaches his
exegetical conclusions in a reasoned manner and with appropriate restraint,
qualities needed in the treatment of these two books whose study entails
contact with many controversies.' - Tremper LongmanSeries: New
