Sweeney, however, is one of the few critical scholars who maintains a good theological sense of the text as a whole, able to trace in broad strokes (as a survey requires) the overarching messages and themes, their interconnections and echoes, as well as their distinctives and even disagreements with each other. I think Sweeney's scholarly gifts shine particularly bright in his presentation of the Minor Prophets as a single "Book of the Twelve," especially when he demonstrates how the different ordering of the books give the LXX and MT versions of the Twelve very distinctive theological emphases. (Sweeney has carried this work forward in MUCH greater detail in his 2 volume commentary on the Minor Prophets in the Berit Olam series.)
My rating of the book has more to do with my rather low opinion of most compositional theories as exercises in futile speculation; they are interesting, of course, but in the end, cannot be proven or debunked...there simply is insufficient evidence to make those kind of judgments. Sweeney is a very capable writer, whose diction is clear and easy-to-read. I do not think this will be my first recommendation to a beginning scholar looking to acquaint themselves with the key interpretive issues and discussions in OT prophetic literature but it IS a survey worthy of at least one read, if for no other reason than to see clearly the contrast between diachronic and synchronic approaches to these texts.… (més)
