Michael R. Stead is the Anglican Bishop of South Sydney and a visiting Old Testament lecturer at Moore Theological College, Australia. His research interests include post-exilic prophecy, biblical theology, hermeneutics, and eschatology. His previous publications include The Intertextuality of Zechariah 1–8 (2009), Zechariah–The Lord Returns (2015), and “Haggai” in the ESV Expository Commentary (2018).
With this study guide, Michael R. Stead has given us a succinct and well-structured overview of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. It offers informed views of key exegetical issues in sustained dialogue with recent scholarship. The guide focuses on the final form of the text, with particular emphasis on the ways in which the three books are connected to the wider biblical corpus through a web of intertextual links. * Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Professor in Old Testament Exegesis, OErebro School of Theology, Sweden *
