«'The books' theologies address the seeming insignificance of Jerusalem in this era by asserting that Yhwh is sovereign over the nations, especially through the return of the people from exile and the rebuilding of the temple.' Robert L. Foster, Religious Studies Review»
«'Foster's work is a new standard for the theological analysis of Haggai and Zechariah and is highly recommended for students and scholars alike.' Brad E. Kelle, Religious Studies Review»
«'Foster majors on these minor prophets, often ignored as a theological resource for contemporary communities of faith. His accessible interpretations arise from careful exegesis rooted in the texts' original contexts. But he never stops with exegesis, always engaging these texts for theological and especially ethical purposes as he provides provocative and relevant connections to the burning issues of our day.' Mark J. Boda, Ph.D. (Cantab.), Professor of Old Testament, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada»
«'This is a very good book for clergy seeking to preach on these relatively unknown books in the OT …' Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament»
