Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi

After the Babylonian captivity, the Israelites were more concerned with leading their own lives than following God's will. So the Lord sent Haggai and Zechariah to urge his people to rebuild the temple. Malachi threatened God’s judgment upon the people for their sins, but his prophecy ended with the wonderful promise of the coming Messiah.

The People's Bible series is a Bible commentary for everyone. The authors of the series have served as pastors, college teachers, or seminary professors. Each author began with the original Hebrew or Greek text and then worked to bring the message of God's Word to Christians who are looking to dive deeper into their study of the Bible. Two important truths guide all the commentaries: First, the Bible is God's inspired Word and is therefore true and reliable. Second, the central message of the entire Bible is Jesus Christ.
