Robert Foster is Lecturer in Religion and New Testament at the University of Georgia. He is author of We Have Heard, O Lord: An Introduction to the Theology of the Psalter (2018) and is a member of the editorial board of Horizons in Biblical Theology.
'Foster majors on these minor prophets, often ignored as a theological resource for contemporary communities of faith. His accessible interpretations arise from careful exegesis rooted in the texts' original contexts. But he never stops with exegesis, always engaging these texts for theological and especially ethical purposes as he provides provocative and relevant connections to the burning issues of our day.' Mark J. Boda, Ph.D. (Cantab.), Professor of Old Testament, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 'His book is an addition to a larger series of Old Testament Theology ... has written a book that has potential for wide use in both church and academy. It is written in a manner that can be engaged by non specialists as well as professional Bible students. It is both informative and provoking of sustained reflection and ecclesiastical action.' Warner M. Bailey, Horizons in Biblical Theory 'This is a very good book for clergy seeking to preach on these relatively unknown books in the OT ...'
