| Summary: | This monograph, the revised version of the author’s doctoral thesis, aims to show that (1) the book of Zechariah reflects the hope for an eschatological king of Davidic descent, and (2) that Zechariah 1–8 and 9–14 present this hope in a continuous and coherent manner., The introductory chapter provides a short discussion of the date and setting of the book of Zechariah. Petterson states, without much discussion, that Zechariah the prophet is responsible for the whole book bearing his name. According to him, Zechariah wrote Zechariah 9–14 ‘in a later period in the prophet’s ministry’ (p. 3). This brings me to one of my major concerns with this monograph. First, any claim of Zecharian authorship of the entire book of Zechariah must be made in dialogue with current scholarship. |
