Politics in the Book of Haggai: A Jamesonian Reading applies the textual theory of American Marxist Fredric Jameson for a critical reading of the book of the prophet Haggai. It attempts to show that the text not only represents the tensions of the past but has a greater function where it endeavors to resolve the issues on an imaginary level-this is a unique feature of Jameson's theory. Furthermore, the book argues that the contradictions and conflicts in the text-at the historical level-occur amongst the golah community, specifically amongst its leaders. The book commences with a discussion of Jameson's textual theory, highlighting its importance within the realm of Marxist discussion. The main content of the book is the appropriation of the three-tier method to critically read the book of the prophet Haggai. The book closes by discussing its conclusions within the realms of Marxism, the prophet Haggai, and island hermeneutics.
