PREFACE -- The Prophets, to whom this and a following volume are dedicated, have, to our loss, been haunted for centuries by a peddling and an ambiguous title. PREFACE TO THE NEW AND REVISED EDTION -- Since these two volumes first appeared in 1896 and 1898 respectively, the textual, literary, and historical criticism of The Twelve Prophets has vastly developed, as may be estimated from the Bibliography herewith appended, pages xvii-xix. FROM THE PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION [preface to the revised edition of Volume 2] -- The first volume on the Twelve Prophets dealt with the three who belonged to the Eighth Century: Amos, Hosea, and Micah. | |

Few are the authors who are good at all three. An analytical thinker may establish a good text but not be able to interpret it well. A mystic may give a beautiful, spiritual interpretation -- but not even know what he's interpreting, because he uses a defective text and translation. (This is true of almost everyone who uses the King James or New King James Bible, for instance.)
George Adam Smith's greatness was that he could undertake all three tasks. He was a solid textual scholar -- to this day, many Bible translations of the Prophets are built on weaker underpinnings. His translations are brilliantly moving -- at least to me, a student of modern English who nonetheless hears the music of the translations of long ago. And Smith was also a solid theologian and historian. He could find more in the Prophets than almost anyone I have ever heard -- the sorrows of Jeremiah. The idealism of Micah. The desolation of Zephaniah. It's all in here.
Of course, much of it is now out of date. The Dead Sea Scrolls and other discoveries have affected our texts, especially of Isaiah but also of the Minor Prophets. We know more history. Even theology has advanced somewhat. So Smith is no longer sufficient in himself. You should have a newer translation, and perhaps a newer commentary as well. But these books will serve you well even if they are not the newest volumes on your shelf. ( )
