Haggai, Zechariah 1-8 (Anchor Bible Series, Vol. 25B)

Haggai ZecharaiahÂ Â 1-8, volume 25B in the acclaimed AnchorÂ Â Bible, part of the Scripture known as the MinorÂ Â Prophets, were written during a critical period inÂ Â Israel's history, the momentous retum of the JewsÂ Â from Babylonian exile. Following the conquest ofÂ Â Babylon by the Persian Empire, the Israelites soughtÂ Â to re-establish their ethnic and religious legacyÂ Â in Judah. This was a time of profound turmoil andÂ Â uncertainty, and Haggai and Zechariah provided aÂ Â crucial measure of support and inspiration. TheyÂ Â rallied Israel's energies and exhorted their fellowÂ Â countrymen to heed the word of God. Under theirÂ Â guidance the Jews restored the Temple at JerusalemÂ Â which had been destroyed by the armies ofÂ Â Nebuchadnezzar. Together the two prophets guided IsraelÂ Â through an important transitional epoch, andÂ Â reconciled the influences of Persia's dominion with theÂ Â sacred traditions of the HebrewÂ Â people.

In this illuminating new translation andÂ Â commentary, Carol and Eric Meyers consider the firstÂ Â eight chapters of the book of Zechariah in aÂ Â linguistic, social, and historical context. TheyÂ Â underscore the literary artistry, the political acumen,Â Â and the prophetic authority of these fascinatingÂ Â volumes whoch proved so vital to the survival ofÂ Â Israel and the preservation of the Jewish faith.
