.
New Theology Review, 26 (2): 103 - 106 (2014)

Abstract

The article presents a rhetorical analysis on the biblical account of the rebuilding of the temple in the early Persian era on the book of Haggai in the Hebrew Bible. Arguments and counterarguments surrounding the temple reconstruction and Haggai's refusal to his prophetic call to rebuild the temple are mentioned. Objections on the rebuilding are deemed to be grounded in traditional and material concerns. The book of Haggai is found to depict the vibrancy and strength of a religious tradition.
