Expectations of a glorious restoration had waned as had their hope in the justice and faithfulness of God. The prophet Malachi speaks to such a moment, calling for a renewed sense of fidelity to their God, a fidelity grounded in right worship and exhibited through faithful living. With careful attention to the Hebrew text, Tucker highlights this prophet's powerful rhetoric and notes the book's enduring theological value for ancient and contemporary audiences alike." ER -
