## Bio

Joel stands second among the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Biblical canon. The Book of Joel, attributed to him, opens with visions of catastrophic locust swarms and proceeds to prophecies of cosmic reckoning and restoration. Internal evidence suggests an early Assyrian period setting, but modern scholarship dates the work's completion to roughly 301–201 BC, the Ptolemaic era, based on its incorporation of earlier prophetic texts and its theological treatment of Yahweh's relationship with surrounding nations. The gap between claimed origin and probable composition marks one of the text's enduring puzzles.
