"Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi" by Iain M. Duguid and Matthew P. Harmon is an exceptional addition to the "Reformed Expository Commentary" series. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of these often-overlooked Old Testament prophets.

One of the strengths of this book is the way in which the authors unpack the historical context and cultural background of each book, making it easier for readers to fully grasp the significance of the messages these prophets were delivering. Additionally, the authors' exegesis of the text is thorough and thought-provoking, offering new insights and perspectives on familiar passages.

What I appreciated most about this book was the way in which it encouraged me to reflect on my own life and faith. The messages of these prophets are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago, and the authors' application of their teachings to modern life is both practical and inspiring.

Overall, "Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi" is a superb commentary that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of these Old Testament books. The authors' clear and engaging writing style, combined with their insightful exegesis and practical application, make this book an invaluable resource for pastors, scholars, and laypeople alike.

This series of commentaries are well worth seeking out.

They are at a suitable level for the average church member and will lift your soul.

One would easily pick any of these volumes and use them in a devotional manner,

Sometimes, the most precious jewels lie in unexpected places. That is how I felt as I read this commentary. The three books discussed are in a section of the Bible called “The Minor Prophets” but these books are in no way discussing minor things. Instead, the author takes us through these three books in a narrative form that is easily read while still requiring much thought and reflection. This commentary will challenge what you think you know and you will come away changed.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book and the thoughts expressed are my own

This was a clear, concise commentary on these three minor prophets.  The authors are writing from a reformed background, and it is reflected in the commentary.  I appreciated the overt explanations of how the passages are pointing to Christ.  This reflects a solid reformed hermeneutic.  But there were times where the commentary veered into performance, self-focus interpretation.

The commentary Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi by Iain M. Duguid and Matthew P. Harmon takes a Christ-centric exegesis to these three prophetic books in the first testament in the Bible. The prophets themselves spoke to their fellow Jews about God's judgment and refuge, priorities in life, and His endless care and love.

After a short introduction on the era and whereabouts of the prophets, the authors of this commentary dig into the actual scriptural passages to find clues for references in the Gospels and apostolic letters. The next step for each of the prophetic books is the (possible) application in your personal live in the here and now.

Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi is a wonderful book. It makes these books easy to read and understand for the common person. It makes it very relevant to today and that is what so exciting it also represents their prophetic writings of the foretelling of CHRIST which when HE arrived the Jews did not see - their eyes were closed, but the Gentiles took all HE said and did as a sponge. They knew who HE truly was, some Jews did accept who HE was but not many, and that broke HIS heart - for those where HIS beloved children - the chosen - but HE came to seek and save the lost - and HE did - for I am one.......

Wow, this is a great book. One thing that is difficult to accomplish nowadays is expounding the relevance of the prophets of the OT for today's generation. The author does a great job expounding the message of these 3 prophetical books as it related to their generation, as well as showing how it applies to us today, and ultimately connecting it all to Christ.

It is a great read
