Description: The Twelve Speak Volume I. A New Translation of the Minor Prophets: Obadiah, Joel, Jonah, Amos, Hosea and Micah. With exegetical and interpretative footnotes and an introductory section on Prophecy. By Derward William Deere. The American Press, New York, 1958. Stated First Edition. Original grey cloth hardcover with dust jacket. 164 pages. Book measures 8 ¼” x 5 ½”. Very uncommon book. THE TWELVE SPEAK is the first book in a two-volume translation of the minor prophets of the Old Testament the "pioneers of Christianity." Included are the prophets Obadiah, Joel, Jonah, Amos, Hosea, and Micah. The words of these spokesmen have been lamentably neglected by many modern Christians because their Hebrew language and style are of a time long past. In this modern, readable English translation, these prophets are enabled to speak their timeless message directly to our day and generation. Dr. Derward W. Deere, recognized as one of the most distinguished teachers and interpreters of the Old Testament in America today, has kept in mind the needs of both the layman and the serious student of religion. Historical, exegetical, and interpretative footnotes accompany each page of the translations, and add richness to the prophets' words. Chapter headings and a suggestive outline within the Scriptures themselves have also been provided. To set the stage for the prophetic messages, a helpful prologue discusses the name, mission, and message of each of these Old Testament prophets as they play their part in the divine economy of God, in His redemptive program of the ages. The seminary or college student, the music- or religious-education worker, the Christian young person or adult of every denomination, will be profoundly instructed and inspired by this scholarly, concise, and interpretative new translation. Above all, the reader will derive a new sense of the pertinence of the pre-exilic prophets a pertinence that rests upon the unchangeable nature of sin and the eternal goodness of the Lord God.
