| Summary: | Elie Assis has written extensively on the biblical material which he regards as having emerged from that vital period in Israel’s history—the sixth and fifth centuries bce. Fourteen previously published books and articles are listed in the bibliography, and three of the chapters in the present volume are substantially reprints of some of that earlier work. What is here offered is therefore not a commentary, though the whole Hebrew text of Joel, along with an English translation, is included; and any danger that the inclusion of previously published material would break the flow of the final work has been skilfully avoided. Assis has been consistent in his view of the historical situation and the way that it has shaped the response to it as it is enshrined in the Hebrew Bible. |
