The Date of the Book of Joel

Abstract

The period during which the prophet Joel lived is uncertain. Historical evidence is slight but the character and content of his writings indicate a probable date between about B.C. 450 and 350, although Jewish tradition fixes a much earlier period-the eighth century B.C. Both EISSEFELDT 1) and PFEIFFER 2) prefer a post-exilic or perhaps late post-exilic date giving the principal reasons as follows.
