Malachi (International Critical Commentary | ICC)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis—linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological—with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series. No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. Editors at the Time of Publication: Samuel Rolles Driver, Alfred Plummer, Charles Augustus Briggs

Top Highlights
“The glowing pictures of Haggai and Zechariah were not realised. The first zeal for the new temple rapidly cooled. Israel was apparently as far from exaltation to influence and power now as she had ever been. What ground was there for encouragement or hope? Why continue denying oneself in order that the temple-services might be properly maintained? Yahweh apparently had no interest in his people or in the vindication of justice and righteousness. Was the service of Yahweh worth while? Did it yield tangible and satisfactory returns to its adherents?” (Pages 11–12)
“Our prophet is but reiterating a promise that had been made and remade in every time of distress and crisis.” (Page 62)
“reveals a lack of reverence, faith and love that is a prime defect in Israel’s religious life.” (Pages 12–13)
“one-sided contract, in accordance with which Israel gave everything and received nothing” (Page 7)
“Levi’ is here best accounted for as representative of the priestly class,” (Page 38)
