If you are familiar with this series, you will know the commentaries make an attempt at not only dealing with the original meaning of the texts, but they attempt to make contemporary application of them as well. That can have its benefits and its drawbacks. The drawbacks that this commentary has were the lack of breadth of application. I know no commentary or book will be able to hit on everything within a text, and while this one does a good job most of the time, the application sections did not always deal with what seemed to be the core issues of some passages.

I found the "Original Meaning" sections to be very helpful, and well in line with the other evangelical commentaries I used for my sermon series on Malachi. Overall, this commentary was useful, but I believe the NICOT on Haggai and Malachi would be a better first bet.

Great commentary. A real help in preparing Sunday School Lesson or just studying a biblical text.

The book came in a short amont of time and was in the condition specified in the sell.
