Haggai ministered during the period when the Israelites were returning from Babylonian exile, but the temple was still in ruins. He preaches four sermons in this book. The first and third explain the lack of productivity from the land because of the damaged temple. The second and fourth messages provide reassurance that God is with them, would help them and would prosper them as they begin rebuilding the temple.

 You will notice the teaching style of T. E. Lee consistently includes these components:

• • The verse text in Greek (from the Septuagint)
  • The verse text in English
  • A definition of words from the original language
  • An exegesis of the text
  • Supplementary quotes by revered theologians 

This Study Guide was initially intended as a series of Sunday School lessons and is equally useful for sermon preparation or individual Bible study.
