Covers two prophets who were active circa 520 B.C.E. during the early Perisan period, the time of the restoration of the Israelite community after the return from exile in Babylonia. Through a careful analysis of the two Biblical books, the author shows that, although they were contemporaries, Haggai and Zechariah were active in significantly divergent ways.... As the author demonstrates, the contrasting approaches of Zechariah and Haggai reflected in the different forms of literature embodied in their books represent a form of prophetic pluralism.
