Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi

Paul L. Redditt

Passionate and powerful in their own right, the prophecies of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi together enrich the Old Testament in general and the prophetic corpus in particular by their perspectives. In this important new commentary, Paul L. Redditt explores the origins of each text and, by careful reconstruction of the social setting of each text, demonstrates how various editors reshaped the original messages of these Minor Prophets in light of prevailing social, political, and religious conditions. In respect of Zechariah and Malachi, significant new conclusions are argued. This volume will benefit scholars, teachers, students, and preachers alike in their understanding and application of the biblical text. - Back cover.
