Books Of Haggai And Malachi

Originally published in 1987 as part of the New International Commentary on the Old Testament series, this commentary by Pieter Verhoef offers a thorough exegesis and exposition of Haggai and Malachi and highlights the ongoing relevance of these prophets’ messages for the Christian church.

Verhoef elucidates questions of authorship, style, text, structure, historical background, and message and uses structural analysis to argue convincingly for the authenticity, unity, and integrity of both books. Bringing his knowledge of the ancient Near East, the Old Testament, and biblical scholarship to bear in his careful verse-by-verse exposition of the text, Verhoef displays the theological acumen and pastoral sensitivity that have made this commentary a standard resource for students, pastors, and scholars alike.
