Joel
The Two Testaments
Interpreting the Historical Context of the Book of Joel
The Book of Joel stands out due to the lack of a clear historical context compared to other books in the Bible. While books like Amos and Hosea provide specific historical references, Joel's audience and timeframe remain ambiguous. There is a range of views on who wrote the book and when it was written, leading to a lack of consensus among scholars. Unlike other minor prophets, Joel does not heavily invest in geographical or historical details, contributing to the uncertainty. Understanding the historical context of the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles is essential to interpreting the book's function and significance.
