Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents the profound commentary of Blessed Theophylact, Archbishop of Ochrid and Bulgaria, on five of the Minor Prophets: Hosea, Habakkuk, Jonah, Nahum, and Micah. Drawing from the patristic tradition, the author offers an interpretation that illuminates both the historical context and the spiritual depth of these prophetic books. He examines the warnings and promises given to Israel, highlighting their fulfilment in Christ and their ongoing relevance for believers. With a keen understanding of Scripture, he unpacks the symbolic language of the prophets, revealing their deeper theological meanings. His explanations serve as both an exegetical guide and a call to repentance, showing how the words of these ancient prophets speak to the spiritual struggles of every generation. Rich with insights from earlier commentators, this work preserves the wisdom of the Church while making it accessible to readers seeking a deeper grasp of Holy Scripture. Those who desire to understand the prophetic books in their full theological and moral dimensions will find this commentary invaluable.
