Applying the theory of genre as a textual embodiment of a world view, this study analyzes how Haggai-Zechariah 1-8 informs the generic perspective of the chronicles. The text's socio-historical context and socio-political function are likewise examined. Sykes (religious studies, Virginia Commonwealth University) argues that the text subverts the ideology of Persian Imperial rule in Post-exilic Judah.
