Purpose of the "editorial framework" of the book of Haggai.
R. Mason. Vetus testamentum, 27 (4):
413 - 421(1977)
Abstract
The editorial framework of the Book of Haggai describes the
community of returned exiles as the "remnant", but only after their
obedience to the prophetic word has been narrated in 1:12-14. Its account
of the rebuilding of the temple echos the Priestly Writing's account of
the building of the tabernacle under Moses (Exod 35f). Its description of
prophecy and the Spirit are reminiscent of the Chronicler's usage, as is
its concentration on the leaders as the objects of God's address whose
response is determinative for the whole community. Such features show it
to belong to a "theocratic" tradition which, while retaining the
eschatological hopes of the prophet, sees a present fullfilment of them in
the life of the post-exilic community.
