Prophecy and Teaching

Prophetic Authority, Form Problems, and the Use of Traditions in the Book of Malachi

About this book

Application and re-Interpretation of biblical traditions in the Book of Malachi.
A traditio-historical study.

Six passages in Malachi, together with the superscription (Mal 1:1) and the additions (Mal 3:22?24), are analyzed. The creative use of the traditions is demonstrated, including the prophet's exegetical techniques. Lines of connections are detected between Malachi and legal texts (Leviticus and Deuteronomy), earlier prophetic words, Chronicles, and Wisdom literature.
