, part of the Scripture known as the Minor Prophets, were written during a critical period in Israel's history, the momentous retum of the Jews from Babylonian exile. Following the conquest of Babylon by the Persian Empire, the Israelites sought to re-establish their ethnic and religious legacy in Judah. This was a time of profound turmoil and uncertainty, and Haggai and
Zechariah
provided a crucial measure of support and inspiration. They rallied Israel's energies and exhorted their fellow countrymen to heed the word of God. Under their guidance the Jews restored the Temple at Jerusalem which had been destroyed by the armies of Nebuchadnezzar. Together the two prophets guided Israel through an important transitional epoch, and reconciled the influences of Persia's dominion with the sacred traditions of the Hebrew people.
In this illuminating new translation and commentary, Carol and Eric Meyers consider the first eight chapters of the book of Zechariah in a linguistic, social, and historical context. They underscore the literary artistry, the political acumen, and the prophetic authority of these fascinating volumes whoch proved so vital to the survival of Israel and the preservation of the Jewish faith.
