Hans Walter Wolff

Hans Walter Wolff

Hans Walter Wolff was a German twentieth century Old Testament scholar, working within a critical academic tradition.

He is known for influential work on the Twelve, especially Joel and Amos. His careful attention to form and prophetic rhetoric can illuminate the texture of these books, though we will want to hold his conclusions carefully and preach the prophets as God’s living word that exposes sin, calls for repentance, and points to the Lord’s saving mercy.

He remains valued for close reading and lasting influence on prophetic studies.

Recommended titles include Joel and Amos in Word Biblical Commentary, Amos the Prophet, and studies on the Minor Prophets.

Theological Perspective: Non-Evangelical/Critical
