Tucked away at the end of the Minor Prophets, the Books of Haggai
and Zechariah offer messages of challenge and hope to residents of
the small district of Yehud in the Persian Empire in the
generations after the return from Babylonian exile. In this volume,
Robert Foster focuses on the distinct theological message of each
book. The Book of Haggai uses Israel's foundational event - God's
salvation of Israel from Egypt - to exhort the people to finish
building the Second Temple. The Book of Zechariah argues that the
hopes the people had in the prophet Zechariah's days did not come
true because the people failed to keep God's long-standing demand
for justice, though hope still lies in the future because of God's
character. Each chapter in this book closes with a substantive
reflection of the ethics of the major sections of the Books of
Haggai and Zechariah and their implications for contemporary
readers.
