| Summary: | "This is the first book to explore the importance of agriculture in relation to the restoration of the Jerusalem temple in the Book of Haggai during the Achaemenid period. Scholars discussing the rebuilding of the temple have mainly focused on the political and social context. Additionally, the missions of Ezra and Nehemiah have been used as a basis for analysing the economy of postexilic Judah. This has, however, understated the wider socio-economic significance of the temple by disregarding the agricultural capacity of Judah." -- Introduction: restoration of the Jerusalem temple -- Agriculture and economy in the ancient Near East -- Darius and the Achaemenid empire -- Judah in the Neo-Babylonian and the Achaemenid periods -- Judah in the Achaemenid economy: Hag 1:1-15 -- A Judean revolt and its results: Hag 2:1-23 |
