"The academy has not been kind to Malachi. Indeed, some of the most influential and
seminal studies on the book denigrate its style, message, and overall artistry. This
negative assessment proves extensive in the history of scholarship. Furthermore, the
studies demonstrating a more positive assessment of Malachi do so without offering
serious challenges to these long-standing denigrations. Complicating the matter is
the observation that critical study has proffered numerous suggestions for what Malachi
contains while failing to provide a viable model of what Malachi actually is. A Message
from the Great King presents serious challenges to the guild's prior assessments and
conclusions about the book. Through an interdisciplinary approach that synthesizes
insights from literary theory, thorough historical reconstruction, and a close reading
of the biblical text, R. Michael Fox makes a formidable case that a root messenger
metaphor pervades the entire text of Malachi. Viewed and read through this new lens,
Malachi's artistry becomes more readily apparent and its theological message more
intense and demanding. A Message from the Great King provides serious reassessment
of the academy's long-standing denigrations of the book and a compelling answer to
what Malachi actually is. Accompanying these insights into Malachi are new methodological
procedures and exercises that merit further attention and reflection"--back cover
