Exalting Jesus in Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series.  This series affirms that the Bible is a Christ-centered book, containing a unified story of redemptive history of which Jesus is the hero. It’s presented as sermons, divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy-reading, practical and friendly commentary. The series is projected to be 48 volumes.

I love this commentary set because it covers much information without getting lost in the weeds. This volume has been a great resource as I prepare to preach through Haggai.

"The book of Haggai is a bit of an anomaly in the OT canon, particularly among the prophetic books, because Haggai’s message gets through and people respond in repentance and obedience. In a sea of prophetic books that decry disobedience only to see the people of God brush off the admonition and continue in their sin, Haggai stands out as an encouraging light, an example of what can happen when God’s people listen to God’s word delivered through God’s prophet and experience God’s blessing."

Micah Fries' take on Zephaniah and Haggai, and Stephen Rummage's take on Zechariah were on par with the rest of this series. However, Robby Gallaty's take on Malachi didn't have the same weight or depth.
