The book of Malachi sits aptly in Christian Bibles as the last book
of the Old Testament, which it assumes, summarizes and applies, as
it also looks forward to the New Testament, with its promises of
the coming reign of God. A striking feature of the book is the way
in which every word of God is contradicted or questioned by his
people. God's persistence in speaking to them is a clear picture of
sin and grace in close proximity. Furthermore, God's people neither
served him enthusiastically nor turned away in blatant
disobedience. This was not neutral territory, but a dangerous
whirlpool of self-deception. Peter Adam's valuable exposition shows
how Malachi is God's effective remedy for such a situation. The
greatest sin of God's people is the sin against God - the source of
all sin against ourselves and others; and at the heart of God's
people, the church, must lie a deep, overwhelming conviction that
God loves them.
