Malachi

"Throughout, the author demonstrates that: exegesis must not conclude that it has finished its task when it has told us what the text meant to the writer of many centuries past. Exegesis must continue its work all the way up to the point of saying how those exegetically derived meanings yield legitimate principles that may be applied to contemporary listeners in a summons for action or response ... this volume serves the classroom as a model demonstrating the principles set forth in the author's primary text, Toward and Exegetical Theology"--Page 4 of cover.
