""A useful and up to date commentary . that not only discusses the lexical, syntactical and theological problems of the original text but also consistently attempts to bridge the historical gap by applying the message of the book to the contemporary reader. [This] commentary is a valuable and needed addition to the literature available on [Malachi]"" Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society ""A demonstration model for the application of the principles of exegesis described by the author in his Toward an Exegetical Theology. Kaiser's two volumes should prove helpful to seminarians."" Society for Old Testament Study Book List ""Stands in dialogue with some recent scholarship and offers interesting structural observations. The book will be of most value for use within ecclesiastical circles. Nonetheless, it will also be of interest to the scholar working on the minor prophets."" Religious Studies Review.
