In this distinguished commentary, Wolff is concerned to defend Haggai as
much more than a "minor" prophet. He was a man whose feet were placed
firmly on the ground, one of the dominating figures of the postexilic
community, the main instigator of the rebuilding of the Jerusalem
temple, and so responsible for inaugurating a new era in Jewish history.
This commentary is verse by verse, includes the text written out for
the reader, and offers excellent bibliographical information with
detailed footnotes. Most appropriate for scholars and academics, rather
than for laypeople who do not have a working knowledge of biblical
Hebrew. Hans Walter Wolff is emeritus professor of Old Testament at the
University of Heidelberg.
The 19-volume Continental Commentary Series, published by
Fortress Press, makes leading critical biblical scholarship from German
and French scholars available to the English-speaking world. This series
combines scholarly excellence with academic rigor to benefit pastors,
students, and scholars of both the Old and New Testament. From Claus
Westermann’s 3-volume commentary on Genesis to the 3-volume commentary
on the Psalms by Hans-Joachim Kraus, these volumes examine the text of
Scripture in penetrating detail with a fresh translation, detailed
commentary, and theological assessment. (112 pages)
