Commentary on Zechariah

Product description

After seventy years of exile, a remnant of the people of Israel has returned to Jerusalem. These people face the great challenge of rebuilding the sanctuary of God and the Jewish community. They are weak, beset by enemies - and still a people of subjects, dependent on the goodwill of pagan kings. The danger of losing all courage and faith in a future for the people is great!

But “the LORD remembers” – and that is also the meaning of the name of the one whom God sends to help: the prophet Zechariah. His prophecies testify that the God of Israel has a glorious future in store for his people. He will protect his people, judge the enemies and dwell among his people - a blessing for all the peoples of the earth.

The esteemed Bible interpreter Benedikt Peters unfolds the great and important messages of this “little prophet” profitably, succinctly and profoundly.
