The Word Biblical Commentaries are (rightly) known for their strict attention to the text and learned Evangelical commentary. When I needed several commentaries expressing various points of view in a class I was teaching on the Minor Prophets, naturally I chose to include this volume. Upon learning about Dr. Stuart's background and teaching situation, I was even more eager to delve into it.
BOY was I disappointed!
Dr. Stuart seems to take the attitude (fostered by comments on the inside dust jacket) that essentially everything we've been taught or think we know about the Minor Prophets is wrong -- and that he can show us the light! How fortunate for us!
Not only was I soured by the attitude, I was also soured by the lack of regard for Jewish or Patristic sources in his exegesis. I was especially disappointed in his work on Hosea.
Two stars, because, as a scholar, I can recognize the work which went into the book -- but that's all. Try "Anchor", try "Interpretation", try "Ancient Christian Commentaries", etc. before you try this one.

An excellent commentary by an able OT scholar. I found Stuart's research and exegesis to be very insighful. This is a "must have" commentary on every OT student's bookshelf.

This is one of the best commentaries you could buy for these minor prophets. Douglas Stuart does an excellent job expositing the texts of each book. I bought this mainly for Hosea, but have been thankful to have excellent evangelical scholarship applied to Joel and Jonah as well. I highly recommend this for your library.
