This new commentary is organized around a distinctive discourse
analysis of the small prophetic book of Haggai, and an appreciation
of its tightly crafted narrative. Identifying six discrete oracles
from the prophet Haggai, Meadowcroft structures his analysis of the
narrative around those six oracles. Thematically, the centre of
Haggai's prophecy is the role of the temple within the life of the
people of God. The desolation of the temple is bound up with the
desolation of the land and the desolation of the people on the
land. Rebuilding the temple will be the means to break the cycle of
desolation. But things are more complex than that. Rebuilding the
temple must happen within the fraught imperial context; and
rebuilding the temple will foreground a tension between
institutional life and the life of the Spirit. Contextualizing
Haggai in today's world, Meadowcroft offers an extensive
prolegomenon on reading Haggai as scripture. In it he hears a
challenge to the Church in the West and a call to rediscover
humanity's priestly role in the temple of an environment under
threat of desolation.
