The core of Malachi's covenantal imagination is shaped by his
reflection on an authoritative collection of source texts in the
Hebrew Bible. The mention of people, nations and places,
Deuteronomic terminology, and rare words and unique word/root
combinations exclusive to Malachi and only a few other texts
encourages the book to be read in the context of received biblical
traditions and texts. The diversity of methodologies used
previously to analyse Malachi has resulted in confusion about the
significance of the inner-biblical connections in the book of
Malachi, which Gibson clarifies. His reading frees the text of
Malachi from being overburdened by too many "intertexts", and
allows its central message of covenant to arise with greater
clarity and force. Gibson reveals how Malachi's connections to
earlier source texts are neither random nor causal; rather, they
have been strategically employed to inform and shape his central
theme of covenant continuity and fidelity.
