In this distinguished commentary, Wolff's task is 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.
Margaret Kohlattended Oxford University and specialized in translating German theology after moving to Germany. She lives near Munich. Hans Walter Wolff is emeritus professor of Old Testament at the University of Heidelberg and the author of many widely used studies.
