About this title

Review:

"The dictionary is remarkably comprehensive and up-to-date and should provide a source of reference for many years. It is a book that is to be heartily recommended."--Reg Luhman, Faith and Thought, No. 54, April 2013

"Libraries with significant clientele interested in theological studies will definitely want this work; the previous volumes are highly regarded among scholars in the relevant disciplines."--Patricia D. Lothrop, Library Journal, October 1, 2012

"I highly recommend this volume, along with the other three, as providing some of the best starting points as summaries for the various issues and Old Testament Theology topics on the books of the prophets."--Roger D. Cotton, Encounter: Journal for Pentecostal Ministry, Summer 2014, Vol. 11

"The DOTP presents an up to date, reliable, scholarly introduction to issues of relevance for those interested in studying the prophetic books. It contributes a range of perspectives and a precision of focus that make it a valuable asset to personal or professional study."--Katie Heffelfinger, Church of Ireland Journal, Summer 2013

". . . the articles are thoroughly researched, well-organized, and clearly written. . . . The bibliographies following the articles on the major prophets should be especially useful to researchers, biblical scholars, and informed laypeople. Recommended."--W. J. Pankey, CHOICE, February 2013
