Reading Haggai and Malachi in conversation with feminist theory,
rhetorical criticism, and masculinity studies reveals two
communities in different degrees of crisis. The prophet Haggai
successfully persuades a financially strapped people to rebuild the
temple, but the speaker in Malachi faces sustained resistance to
his arguments in favor of maintaining the priestly hierarchy. Both
books describe conflicts among men based upon social class, and
those who claim to speak for God find their claims and, with them,
God's presumably unquestionable authority as the ultimate male
contested. From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist biblical
interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now makes
possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It is our
hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current feminist
biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to
ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid
all readers in their advancement toward God's vision of dignity,
equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to
provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly
engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that
explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front
of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by
women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the
ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where
appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient
texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which
are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority,
ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume
incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from
different parts of the world, showing the importance of social
location in the process of interpretation and that there is no
single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.
