The commentary has a number of strengths. Foremost among them is the care taken throughout the book to analyse every clause in its discourse context. Roglund understands the analytical circle which exists between grammatical description and comprehension of the overall message. As such, the commentary often provides valuable insight into the prophetic message and the rhetorical devices used by the books of Haggai and Zechariah without losing sight of the purpose of the handbook.
